Full details

One thing to note is that while designed for road running, the shoe is not ideally suited for trail running due to its sole design.

FAQs
How do I clean my Brooks Ghost 17 GTX shoes?
Use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt and debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals or machine washing, as this can damage the GORE-TEX membrane.
Are these shoes suitable for trail running?
While the Ghost 17 GTX is durable, it is primarily designed for road running. The outsole might not provide enough grip on rugged trails.
What kind of socks should I wear with these shoes?
It is recommended to use running socks that wick away moisture to enhance comfort and breathability.
How long will the waterproof feature last?
The waterproofness can last for a long time with proper care and maintenance. It is advisable to reapply a durable water repellent (DWR) treatment when necessary.
Can I use these shoes in hot weather?
The GORE-TEX membrane makes these shoes less breathable compared to non-waterproof running shoes. They are best suited for cooler or wet conditions.
What is the lifespan of these shoes?
The lifespan of running shoes depends on usage and running style. Generally, it's recommended to replace them every 300-500 miles.
What is the warranty on these shoes?
Check the Brooks website or contact the retailer for specific warranty information.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight.
Adjust the lacing to loosen the fit, or consider trying a wider size.
Water is entering the shoe.
Check the laces and tongue to ensure they are properly sealed. Also, examine the shoes for any damage to the GORE-TEX membrane.
Shoes are not breathable.
Ensure the shoes are not excessively tight, as this can restrict airflow. Consider wearing moisture-wicking socks.
The cushioning feels flat.
Give the midsole time to re-inflate. If the problem persists, the shoes may need replacing.
