Product Information
Full details
The Brooks Ghost 17 is a high-performance running shoe designed for adult men seeking a reliable, daily trainer that prioritizes comfort and long-distance durability. By incorporating increased nitrogen-infused cushioning throughout the midsole, this model provides a notably smoother and more responsive ride than its predecessors, making it an excellent choice for consistent road runners. While the enhanced padding provides superior impact protection, some users may find the added bulk of the increased foam stack slightly less agile than dedicated speed-racing flats.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for people with flat feet?
The Ghost 17 is a neutral trainer. If you have flat feet and require significant arch support, you may wish to pair them with an aftermarket orthotic insole.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes, as the heat and agitation can degrade the cushioning and upper materials. Clean them with a damp cloth and mild soap instead.
How many kilometres can I expect from these trainers?
Most runners can expect between 500 and 800 kilometres, depending on body weight, running surface, and gait.
Is the Ghost 17 a stability shoe?
No, the Ghost 17 is categorized as a neutral running shoe.
What does the DNA LOFT v3 technology actually do?
It is a nitrogen-infused foam that is lighter and more durable than standard EVA, providing a softer feel without sacrificing responsiveness.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure on the top of the foot
Try adjusting the lacing pattern to a 'window' or 'gap' lacing technique to relieve tension on the midfoot.
Heel slipping while running
Use the extra top eyelet to create a runner's loop (lock lacing) to secure the heel fit.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Significantly improved cushioning for superior comfort on long runs
- Reliable and consistent performance across various road conditions
- Balanced energy return makes it suitable for daily training
- Enhanced impact protection in both the heel and forefoot
Cons
- Increased cushioning adds a slight amount of overall weight
- Not intended for high-speed racing or track intervals
- Stack height may feel too soft for runners who prefer a firm, ground-feel shoe
Setup, Compatibility & Care
The Ghost 17 requires no special break-in period; however, it is recommended to wear them for shorter walks or runs initially to allow the foam to adapt to your foot shape. For sizing, ensure the heel is locked securely in the collar and there is roughly a thumb's width of space in the toe box. To maintain the life of the shoe, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. If they get wet, remove the insoles and stuff them with newspaper to air dry naturally rather than using a heat source, which can damage the midsole foam and adhesives.
