Product Information

Full details

The Brooks Ghost 17 is a premium neutral road running shoe designed for daily training and long-distance comfort, making it an excellent choice for runners and walkers seeking a reliable, cushioned experience. By utilizing nitrogen-infused DNA Loft v3 foam, it provides a soft yet responsive ride that promotes smooth transitions; however, users should note that the increased stack height may feel slightly different to those transitioning from firmer, low-profile footwear.

FAQs

How does the Ghost 17 differ from the Ghost 16?

The Ghost 17 features significantly more DNA Loft v3 cushioning in both the heel and forefoot, along with a redesigned midsole and flex grooves for better flow.

Is this a stability shoe?

No, the Ghost 17 is classified as a neutral running shoe designed for runners who do not require specific arch support or stability features.

What is the heel-to-toe drop?

The shoe features a 10mm midsole drop, which is standard for traditional road running trainers.

Can I use these for marathon training?

Yes, the enhanced cushioning makes the Ghost 17 a popular choice for both daily training and long-distance endurance runs.

How should I clean the mesh upper?

Use a damp cloth with mild detergent to spot clean the mesh. Avoid soaking the shoes or using harsh chemicals.

What does CarbonNeutral certified mean?

It means that Brooks has measured the product's carbon footprint and offset it through verified projects that reduce carbon emissions.

Troubleshooting

Feeling pressure or rubbing on the top of the foot

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

Heel slippage

Use the extra eyelet at the top of the collar to create a 'runner's knot' or lock-down lace loop to secure the heel.

Midsole feels stiff

New foam often requires a short break-in period of 20-30 miles to fully adapt to your specific gait pattern and flex.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Ghost 17s, start by adjusting the lace tension to match your foot shape—ensure a snug midfoot lock while allowing natural toe splay. These shoes are designed for neutral foot strikes. For care, avoid machine washing or drying, as high temperatures can degrade the nitrogen-infused foam. Instead, gently clean the upper with mild soap and a soft brush, and allow them to air dry away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Remove the sockliner after wet runs to let the interior dry completely and prevent odors.
