FAQs
How do I clean my Brooks Ghost 17 GTX?
Use a damp cloth and mild soap to clean the shoes. Avoid using harsh chemicals or machine washing, as this can damage the GORE-TEX membrane.
Are the Brooks Ghost 17 GTX suitable for trail running?
No, the Brooks Ghost 17 GTX is designed for road running. The outsole is optimized for paved surfaces and may not provide adequate grip on trails.
What is the lifespan of the cushioning?
The cushioning typically lasts for 300-500 miles, depending on your weight and running style.
How should I store my running shoes?
Store your running shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
What kind of socks should I wear with these shoes?
You can wear standard running socks. For wet conditions, consider moisture-wicking socks to keep your feet dry and comfortable.
Are these shoes true to size?
Generally, Brooks running shoes run true to size, but it's always best to check your measurements and reviews for the most accurate fit.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too warm.
Consider wearing thinner socks or running in cooler conditions. The GTX membrane retains more heat.

Ensure proper lacing and check for damage to the GORE-TEX membrane.
