FAQs
Is the Brooks Ghost 17 good for wide feet?
The Ghost 17 is designed with a standard width that fits many users, though Brooks offers various widths in other models if you find the standard fit too snug.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
While intended for road running, the stable base makes them suitable for general gym training, though they are not designed for heavy lifting stability.
How often should I replace these trainers?
Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300-500 miles, depending on your running surface and gait.
Does the Ghost 17 feature arch support?
The shoe features a neutral support platform designed for a natural gait, accommodating a variety of arch types.
Can I put custom insoles in these?
Yes, the internal sockliner is removable, allowing you to insert orthotics or custom insoles as needed.
Troubleshooting
Foot feels slightly cramped or tight
Try adjusting the lacing pattern to a 'heel lock' or 'runner's loop' to secure the midfoot and relieve pressure on the forefoot.
Visible dirt or debris in mesh
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dirt after it has dried. Do not use harsh chemicals.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Brooks Ghost 17 trainers, proper maintenance is key.
- Break-in Period: While these shoes are comfortable out of the box, give them a few short walks or light runs to allow the foam to adapt to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Hand wash with mild soap and cold water. Avoid putting them in the washing machine or dryer, as high heat can degrade the cushioning technology.
- Air Dry: Always air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight to prevent material warping.
- Rotation: If you run frequently, consider rotating between two pairs of shoes; this allows the cushioning to recover its shape between uses.
