Brooks Ghost 17 Trainers - UK 5

The standard width is available. For wider feet, it is recommended to check for specific wide (2E for men, D for women) or extra-wide (4E for men, 2E for women) sizing options if offered for this model.

The primary update in the Ghost 17 is the introduction of nitrogen-infused DNA LOFT v3 cushioning for enhanced softness and responsiveness, along with a new air mesh upper for a more breathable yet structured fit.

While comfortable, the Brooks Ghost 17 is specifically designed as a road running shoe. For gym workouts or cross-training, specialized shoes offering lateral support might be more appropriate.

The heel-to-toe drop is 10mm.

Neutral pronation means your foot rolls inward a normal amount after landing. You can often tell by looking at the wear pattern on your old shoes (even wear on the ball of the foot and a small portion of the heel) or by consulting a running specialist.

The women's model weighs approximately 255.1g.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks. Loosen the laces and re-tie them using a runner's knot for a more secure and customizable fit. If discomfort persists, consider if the size is appropriate for your foot.

The cushioning materials naturally degrade with extensive use. For optimal performance, consider replacing your running shoes every 300-500 miles or when you notice a significant loss of cushioning.

Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for shorter periods initially. Ensure the laces are adjusted properly, not overly tightened, to allow the engineered mesh to conform to your foot shape.
