FAQs

Is the Brooks Ghost 17 suitable for wide feet?

Yes, the Brooks Ghost series is frequently available in multiple width options to accommodate different foot shapes for enhanced comfort.

Can I use these shoes for gym workouts?

While primarily designed for road running, the stable platform of the Ghost 17 makes it a suitable option for light gym training and walking.

How long should a pair of Ghost 17s last?

Typically, you can expect between 300 to 500 miles of use, depending on your running style, surface type, and body weight.

Does this shoe provide stability for flat feet?

The Ghost 17 is classified as a neutral trainer. If you require significant arch support or stability for overpronation, you may need a different model or custom orthotics.

What does the 10 mm drop mean for my running form?

The 10 mm heel-to-toe drop is designed to encourage a smooth heel-to-toe transition, aiding in stride fluidity for the majority of runners.

Troubleshooting

Feeling pressure or tightness across the top of the foot

Try adjusting your lacing technique, such as the window lacing method, to relieve pressure on the midfoot while keeping the rest of the shoe secure.

Slipping at the heel while running

Utilize the extra eyelet at the top of the lacing system to create a 'runner's loop' or heel lock to secure the ankle more firmly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Brooks Ghost 17, follow these best practices:

  1. Fit Check: Ensure you have a thumbnail's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to account for foot swelling during runs.
  2. Break-in Period: While comfortable out of the box, perform a few short walks or light runs to allow the mesh upper and midsole to contour to your foot.
  3. Cleaning: Remove surface dirt with a soft brush after runs. If shoes are muddy, hand-wash using warm water and a mild detergent. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can degrade the nitrogen-infused foam.
  4. Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the outsole rubber to dry out or the upper materials to fade.
