FAQs

Are the Ghost 17 shoes suitable for wide feet?

The Ghost 17 is built on a standard fit; however, the lace-up design allows for some adjustment. Check for specific 'Wide' labeled variants if you require extra volume.

How often should I replace my Brooks Ghost 17s?

Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and body weight.

Can I use these for gym workouts?

While primarily designed for running, their stable base makes them suitable for moderate gym work, though they are not specifically optimized for heavy lifting.

What is the best way to clean the foam midsole?

Use a damp cloth with a tiny amount of mild soap and gently wipe the midsole. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes.

Is the DNA Loft v3 foam durable?

Yes, DNA Loft v3 is designed to maintain its compression set and cushioning properties over hundreds of miles.

Troubleshooting

Feeling pressure points during long runs

Adjust your lacing pattern; sometimes skipping an eyelet or using a 'runner's loop' can relieve localized pressure.

Shoes feel damp after use

Remove the insoles after running and stuff the shoes with newspaper to absorb moisture effectively without applying heat.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptionally soft and responsive cushioning
  • Improved ventilation for temperature management
  • Reliable durability for daily mileage
  • Smooth heel-to-toe transitions

Cons

  • Requires adherence to specific care label instructions
  • Design aesthetic is consistent but traditional
  • Limited to specific athletic use cases

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best performance from your Brooks Ghost 17 trainers, start by adjusting the laces to match your foot shape—aim for a snug but not restrictive hold across the midfoot. These shoes are compatible with most standard orthotic inserts if additional arch support is needed. Regarding care, never machine wash or submerge your shoes in water. Instead, remove surface dirt with a soft brush and clean the upper using a damp cloth with mild soap. Always air-dry in a cool, shaded area away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the cushioning foam.
