Brooks Ghost 17 Walking Shoes

Description

• Upper: Soft, high-gauge engineered mesh upper designed to flex naturally with the foot’s gait while accommodating natural forefoot splay during long walks.

• Midsole Cushioning: High-stack DNA LOFT v3 nitrogen-injected foam matrix tuned to distribute body weight evenly and eliminate localized plantar pressure points.

• Cushioning & Stability Technologies: Padded heel collar and integrated heel counter work together to prevent rearfoot slippage without compressing the Achilles tendon.

• Outsole: Heavy-duty RoadTack rubber pods placed strategically across high-wear zones to maximize tread life on hard walking surfaces.

   Key Features & Benefits

• Pressure Dispersal: Supercritical nitrogen foam buffers hard ground contact, protecting the heel and metatarsal heads.

• Swell-Accommodating Fit: Flexible mesh construction expands naturally as blood flow increases during long walks.

• Friction-Free Lining: Plush ankle collar and soft interior fabric eliminate heel rubbing and blister risks.

• Hard-Surface Grip: Durable silica-infused rubber holds firm on wet or dry pavement and smooth tiles.

  Sizing & Fit Advice

   Runs True to Size (TTS). The toe box offers a traditional medium fit; if you wear thick walking socks, choosing half a size up is recommended.

How to Find Your Size (Step-by-Step Guide)

1. Setup: Place a plain sheet of paper on a hard floor, flushed against a flat wall. 2. Position: Stand on the paper with your heel resting gently against the wall (wearing your preferred athletic socks). 3. Mark: Mark the furthest point of your longest toe on the paper with a pencil. 4. Measure: Measure the distance from the edge of the paper (wall) to your mark in Centimeters (CM).

Recommended Fitting Margin:

• Casual / Lifestyle Wear: Add +0.5 cm to your measured foot length.

• Performance Running: Add +0.5 cm to +1.0 cm to allow proper room for foot expansion during long distance runs.
