Product Information
Full details
The Brooks Ghost 17 trainers are designed for neutral runners seeking a reliable, high-performance shoe for daily road training. Featuring advanced DNA LOFT v3 nitrogen-infused cushioning and a breathable engineered mesh upper, these shoes provide a smooth, stable ride that reduces impact on your joints. While they excel in long-distance comfort and durability, runners requiring specific arch support for overpronation may find the neutral design less suitable for their biomechanical needs.

FAQs
Are the Brooks Ghost 17 suitable for trails?
These shoes are designed primarily for asphalt and road surfaces. While they can handle light, well-maintained paths, they lack the aggressive lugs needed for technical trail terrain.
What is the drop on these trainers?
The Brooks Ghost 17 has a 10mm drop, providing a traditional running feel that favors heel-strikers.
How often should I replace these shoes?
Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running style, weight, and the surfaces you frequent.
Is the Ghost 17 a neutral shoe?
Yes, this model is built for runners with a neutral gait. It does not contain extra posts or structures to correct overpronation.
Can I use custom orthotics with these shoes?
The Ghost 17 features a removable sockliner, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if necessary.
How do I choose the right size?
The Ghost 17 fits true to size. We recommend leaving about a half-thumb's width of space at the front of the toe box to accommodate foot swelling during long runs.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure points on the top of the foot
Try adjusting your lacing technique, such as using a window-lacing style to relieve pressure over the midfoot area.
Slipping inside the shoe during runs
Ensure the shoe is securely laced and use the top 'runner's eyelet' to lock the heel in place.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Brooks Ghost 17 trainers, consider these maintenance tips:
- Break-in Period: While these shoes are comfortable out of the box, perform a few shorter runs to allow the mesh to stretch and adapt to your unique foot shape.
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush after your run. If the trainers become very muddy, hand wash them with warm water and a mild detergent. Avoid using a washing machine, as this can break down the adhesives.
- Drying: Air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can cause the foam to warp.
- Rotation: If you run frequently, consider rotating between two pairs of shoes to allow the foam to decompress fully between sessions.
