FAQs
Is the Brooks Ghost Amp good for long-distance running?
Yes, the combination of PEBA and EVA foams provides enough support and comfort for longer road efforts.
Can I use these for trail running?
No, these are designed specifically for road surfaces and lack the aggressive tread pattern required for technical trail terrain.
What does the 6 mm drop mean?
It refers to the height difference between the heel and the forefoot. A 6 mm drop promotes a more midfoot strike compared to traditional 10-12 mm trainers.
How often should I replace these trainers?
Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running style and surface conditions.
Are these shoes stable or neutral?
The Ghost Amp is designed as a neutral trainer, providing a responsive and flexible ride rather than corrective stability.
How do I wash them if they get muddy?
Hand wash only with a soft brush and water. Do not put them in a washing machine, as it can damage the specialized foam structure.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort in the arch or heel during initial runs
Ensure you are using the correct size and allow for a 3-5 run 'break-in' period to let the foam conform to your foot strike.
Sole grip feels slippery on wet surfaces
The outsole is designed for road surfaces; reduce speed on extremely slick or mossy pavement to maintain traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance, verify that the shoe size matches your current running footwear, keeping in mind that the Brooks Ghost Amp follows standard UK sizing.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents.
- Drying: Air dry only. Keep shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as high temperatures can degrade the nitrogen-infused cushioning materials.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent foam compression or discoloration.
