Brooks Ghost 17 Walking Shoes

Description

• Upper: Breathable engineered mesh upper with soft forefoot stretch panels designed to prevent pressure on sensitive metatarsal joints and bunions.

• Midsole Cushioning: Premium DNA LOFT v3 nitrogen-infused foam calibrated for deep compression dampening, significantly reducing force loads on knees and ankles.

• Cushioning & Stability Technologies: Broadened sole platform provides inherent neutral stability, encouraging a balanced foot strike and natural alignment.

• Outsole: Multi-groove RoadTack rubber layout engineered to flex in harmony with the foot’s natural anatomical pivot points during stride completion.

  Key Features & Benefits

• Joint Stress Reduction: Thick nitrogen foam stack dampens ground reaction forces before they reach ankles, knees, and lower back.

• Balanced Stance Base: Broadened platform prevents inward or outward foot tilting during long walks.

• Metatarsal Pressure Relief: Flexible forefoot mesh eliminates pinch points over the toes during stride propulsion.

• Natural Forefoot Articulation: Deep outsole flex channels allow the toes to bend naturally at push-off.

  Sizing & Fit Advice

   Fits True to Size (TTS). If inserting custom orthotic insoles, selecting half a size larger or a Wide (2E) width ensures ample internal volume.

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.
