FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for flat feet?
The Brooks Ghost Amp offers a balanced ride, but if you require specific arch support, you may want to consult with a professional to see if an aftermarket insole is needed.
How often should I replace the Ghost Amp?
Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and intensity.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
While primarily designed for road running, the stability features make them suitable for gym-based strength training and circuit workouts.
What does the 6 mm drop mean?
The drop refers to the difference in height between the heel and the forefoot. A 6 mm drop is lower than traditional trainers, encouraging a more mid-foot strike.
Are these waterproof?
No, these are standard running trainers. They are breathable, which means water can pass through the mesh upper.
Does the sizing run true?
The Brooks Ghost Amp is generally consistent with standard UK athletic shoe sizing.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort in the arch or heel during initial runs
Adjust your lacing tension or consider a different sock thickness; if issues persist, ensure the shoe size is appropriate for your foot shape.
Foam feels less responsive after many miles
Check the mileage; running shoes typically lose structural integrity between 300-500 miles. It may be time for a replacement.
Accumulation of debris inside the shoe
Use a removable insole to shake out debris and wipe the inside with a damp cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Brooks Ghost Amp trainers last, follow these best practices:
- Fit Check: Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe. Given the UK sizing, verify your fit against the specific model size.
- Break-in: While these shoes feel great out of the box, perform a few shorter runs to allow the foam to adapt to your foot strike before attempting a long-distance run.
- Cleaning: Remove surface dirt with a soft-bristled brush. Hand wash with mild soap and cold water if necessary. Never machine wash or tumble dry your shoes, as high heat can damage the DNA HYPE cushioning and adhesive bonds.
- Air Dry: Always air dry your shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or intense sunlight to maintain the integrity of the materials.
