FAQs
Is the Brooks Ghost 17 suitable for flat feet?
Yes, as a neutral trainer, it provides a stable platform that works well for many runners with flat feet, though you may add custom insoles if you require specific arch support.
Can I use these shoes for trail running?
These shoes are designed primarily for road running. While they can handle light, packed dirt paths, they lack the aggressive lugs needed for technical or muddy trail terrain.
How many miles should I expect to get out of these shoes?
Typically, you can expect between 300 to 500 miles of use, depending on your running style, weight, and the surfaces you frequent.
Are these shoes water-resistant?
The upper is designed for breathability, meaning it is not water-resistant and will allow moisture to pass through during heavy rain.
How does the Ghost 17 differ from previous versions?
The Ghost 17 features the updated DNA Loft v3 midsole, providing a more responsive and plush ride compared to previous versions that used older iteration foams.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort or pressure points on the top of the foot
Try adjusting your lacing pattern to a 'window' or 'gap' lacing technique to relieve tension on the affected area.
Heel slippage while running
Use the extra eyelet at the top of the shoe to perform a runner's loop, which secures the heel more firmly against the back of the shoe.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Exceptional cushioning for long-distance comfort
- Versatile performance for both beginners and marathoners
- Secure upper fit keeps the foot stable
- Smooth transitions during every stride
- Durable construction for road running
Cons
- Not intended for speed-focused interval racing
- Larger profile compared to lightweight trainers
- Limited to road surfaces rather than technical trails
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience, start by wearing your new shoes for short walks to allow the material to adapt to your foot. Because the Ghost 17 features a neutral design, they are compatible with most standard aftermarket orthotics if additional arch support is required.
To clean your shoes, avoid machine washing, which can break down the adhesives and foam integrity. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried mud and a damp cloth with mild soap for surface stains. Always air dry your shoes away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, to prevent the midsole foam from warping or hardening.
