FAQs
Are the Ghost 17 shoes waterproof?
No, the Ghost 17 features a breathable mesh upper designed for ventilation, not water resistance.
Can I replace the insoles with custom orthotics?
Yes, the sockliner is removable and can be swapped for most custom or aftermarket orthotic inserts.
How often should I replace these shoes?
Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and body weight.
Is this a neutral shoe?
Yes, the Ghost 17 is classified as a neutral running shoe, meaning it is designed for runners who do not require significant stability or motion control features.
How does DNA Loft v3 compare to previous versions?
DNA Loft v3 is nitrogen-infused, making it lighter and softer than previous iterations while maintaining a high level of responsiveness.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure on the top of the foot
Try using a different lacing technique, such as the window lacing method, to relieve pressure on the midfoot.
Heel slippage while running
Utilize the 'runner's loop' or heel lock lacing technique with the top eyelets to secure the ankle.
Excessive wear on the outsole
Check your running surface; the Ghost 17 is optimized for roads and paths, not trail or rocky terrain.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, ensure you are measuring your feet in the afternoon when they are at their most swollen. The Ghost 17 is a neutral trainer, making it compatible with most standard neutral running gait patterns.
Care Instructions:
- Wipe off surface dirt with a soft, damp cloth after dusty runs.
- Do not machine wash or dry, as this can degrade the midsole foam technology.
- Air dry by removing the sockliner and placing the shoes in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources.
- Rotate your shoes with another pair to allow the foam to decompress fully between runs.
