Brooks Women’s Ghost 17 GTX Black

Description

Experience everything you love about the Ghost line, now waterproof—introducing the Brooks Women’s Ghost 17 GTX, designed for daily training, wet-weather runs, and comfort that lasts from your first step to the last mile. This version adds serious weather-proofing without diluting the plush ride that Ghost runners rely on.

Waterproof Upper That Breathes
The Brooks Women’s Ghost 17 GTX is equipped with a GORE-TEX Invisible Fit membrane that is bonded directly to the upper. This keeps your feet dry through rain, mist, and puddles while maintaining flexibility and airflow. The upper’s engineered jacquard mesh works in tandem with overlays to offer comfort, structure, and moisture management so your feet stay protected without overheating.

Soft Cushioning with Enhanced Comfort
Underfoot, the midsole uses DNA LOFT v3 foam which has been given extra depth—especially in the heel and forefoot—to enhance plushness. The updated build delivers a softer impact feel, helps reduce fatigue over longer runs or walks, and adds comfort even when pace slows down. Despite the increase in cushion, the shoe maintains a balanced ride that still feels responsive.

Smooth Transitions & Secure Fit
Flex grooves in the outsole help the Brooks Women’s Ghost 17 GTX bend naturally, promoting a smooth heel-to-toe roll-off. A padded heel collar and updated tongue design reduce hotspots and provide more comfort around the ankle. Combined with the stable foothold offered by the midsole architecture, this results in a secure, confident stride even in wet or uneven conditions.

Traction Where It Counts
Brooks has improved the outsole compound to grip wet pavement more reliably. The tread pattern is designed to shed water and maintain contact, so you won’t feel skidding when stepping from dry to slick surfaces.

The waterproofing and added plushness make it particularly well suited for damp climates or seasons when moisture is frequent.
