FAQs

Are the Brooks Ghost 17 shoes waterproof?

No, these trainers feature an engineered mesh upper designed for maximum breathability rather than water resistance.

Can I use these for marathon training?

Yes, the Ghost 17 is highly regarded for its ability to handle high weekly mileage and long-distance training runs.

Does this model provide stability for overpronation?

The Ghost 17 is a neutral shoe. If you require significant arch support or stability for overpronation, you may want to look at Brooks' specific stability series.

How do I know if I need a wide fit?

If you experience pinching or discomfort across the ball of your foot during runs, you may benefit from one of the available wide-fit options.

Are these suitable for gym workouts?

While they are excellent for treadmill running and warm-ups, they are primarily designed for forward-motion running rather than lateral-heavy gym activities.

How long should a pair of Ghost 17s last?

Most runners get between 300 and 500 miles out of a pair, depending on running surface, weight, and individual gait.

Troubleshooting

Feeling pressure on the top of the foot

Try adjusting the lacing pattern to a window lacing style to relieve pressure points.

Outsole wearing down prematurely

Ensure you are using the shoes primarily on recommended road or pavement surfaces rather than abrasive rocky terrain.

Inner heel fabric fraying

Ensure the shoes are fully unlaced before removing them to prevent friction against the heel counter.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Brooks Ghost 17 trainers, always ensure you have the correct size and width for your foot shape. If you use custom orthotics, the cushioned sockliner can typically be removed to accommodate them comfortably. When the shoes become dirty, avoid putting them in a washing machine or dryer, as high heat can degrade the midsole foam. Instead, gently clean the exterior with a soft brush and mild soap, then air dry them away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Replacing your trainers every 300 to 500 miles is recommended to maintain optimal support and cushioning integrity.
