FAQs

Is the Brooks Ghost 17 suitable for wide feet?

Yes, Brooks offers multiple width options for the Ghost series to ensure a comfortable fit for various foot shapes.

How often should I replace these running shoes?

It is generally recommended to replace your running shoes every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and body weight.

Can I use these for gym workouts?

While designed primarily for road running, the stable platform makes them suitable for light gym use, though they are not designed for heavy lateral-movement sports.

Does the Ghost 17 provide arch support?

The shoe is built on a neutral platform, meaning it does not have aggressive medial posts for overpronation but provides a balanced, supportive structure for neutral runners.

What is the heel-to-toe drop of the Ghost 17?

The Ghost 17 features a 10mm heel-to-toe drop, which is designed to encourage efficient transitions for a wide range of runners.

Are these shoes machine washable?

No, it is advised against machine washing or drying as it can damage the performance foams and adhesives.

Troubleshooting

Feeling pressure on the top of the foot

Try an alternative lacing pattern, such as skipping the eyelet where the pressure occurs, to relieve tension.

Slipping at the heel while running

Use the extra top eyelet to create a 'heel lock' or 'runner's loop' to secure the ankle more firmly.

Rapid accumulation of debris in the mesh

Use a soft brush to gently wipe the engineered mesh after runs on gravel or dusty paths to maintain breathability.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best experience with your Brooks Ghost 17, begin by ensuring you have the correct size and width, as the secure fit is vital for preventing blisters. When first using the shoes, perform a 'runner's knot' lacing technique if you require additional heel security. For care, avoid using a washing machine or dryer, as high heat can degrade the integrity of the nitrogen-infused foam. Instead, remove the sock liners and air dry the shoes in a cool, shaded area if they become wet. You can clean the exterior using a soft-bristle brush and mild soap to remove debris from the outsole and mesh pores.
