The Ghost 17 is a neutral shoe; however, its supportive foam provides a stable platform that works well for many runners. If you have severe pronation issues, you may wish to use a custom orthotic.
Ensure there is about a thumbnail's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to allow for natural foot swelling during exercise.
While primarily designed for running, the stable base makes them suitable for light gym work, though they are not specifically designed for heavy lateral-movement sports.
Generally, running shoes lose their optimal cushioning after 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running style and surface conditions.
Yes, you can easily swap the laces for any standard athletic lace if you prefer a different length, color, or material.
Try the 'window lacing' technique by skipping the eyelet over the area of pressure to relieve tension.
Use the extra eyelet at the top of the lacing system to create a 'runner's loop' or heel lock for a more secure fit.
Let the dirt dry completely and use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove debris before wiping with a damp cloth.
To ensure the longevity of your Brooks Ghost 17 trainers, always ensure the lace tension is adjusted to match your arch height and foot volume without overtightening. The shoes are compatible with most aftermarket orthotics if additional arch support is required. For care, avoid putting them in the washing machine or tumble dryer, as heat can degrade the foam composition and adhesive bonds. Instead, remove the insoles and wipe the uppers down with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally in a cool, shaded area, keeping them away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the materials.
