FAQs

Is the Brooks Ghost 17 good for flat feet?

The Ghost 17 is a neutral shoe. While it provides excellent cushioning, it does not include extra arch support. If you have severe flat feet, you may wish to use your own orthotic insoles.

Can I use these for marathon training?

Yes, the Ghost 17 is a highly capable high-mileage trainer suitable for the training phase of a marathon.

Is the Ghost 17 waterproof?

No, the upper is made of breathable jacquard mesh, which allows for airflow but is not designed to be water-resistant or waterproof.

How long will the cushioning last?

While mileage varies based on usage and surface, the DNA Loft v3 foam is designed to maintain its responsiveness for 300 to 500 miles.

Are these shoes heavy?

The Ghost 17 is engineered to be lightweight and efficient, utilizing nitrogen-infused foam to provide maximum cushion without excess weight.

Is this shoe suitable for walking?

Absolutely. Its smooth transition and high-comfort cushioning make it an excellent choice for walking as well as running.

Troubleshooting

Feeling pressure on the top of the foot

Try a different lacing technique, such as the window lacing method, to relieve pressure on the bridge.

Excessive movement inside the shoe

Ensure the laces are tensioned correctly through the midfoot eyelets to maximize the lockdown of the jacquard mesh.

Rapid wear on the outsole

Avoid using these road-specific trainers on abrasive or rocky terrain to extend the life of the rubber compound.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To get the most out of your Brooks Ghost 17, ensure you select your proper UK sizing, utilizing the available width options if you have a broader foot profile. Upon receiving your shoes, allow for a brief break-in period during your first few walks to let the upper material adapt to your foot’s unique shape.

Care Instructions:

Cleaning: Wipe the outsole with a damp cloth to remove debris and mud after runs. If the mesh upper gets dirty, use a soft-bristle brush with mild soap and cold water. Avoid machine washing or drying.
Drying: Air dry only. Keep away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can degrade the midsole foam.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry area to maintain the integrity of the cushioning.
