โ Weight over 95kg โ needs Brooks Glycerin with maximum cushioning
โ Low drop 0โ6mm โ Ghost has a 12mm drop, not suitable for minimalists
๐งบ MAINTENANCE AND CARE
๐ก๏ธ Never machine wash/dry โ degrades DNA LOFT and midsole glue
๐งฝ Clean with a damp cloth after each run, remove insole for drying
โ๏ธ Air dry naturally away from direct heat (sun/radiator)
๐ Recommended rotation: alternate with a second shoe โ DNA LOFT recovers elasticity in 24โ48h
๐ฆ Replacement: when midsole loses responsiveness or outsole is worn more than 3mm
๐ก EDUCATIONAL SECTION โ How to choose the right running shoe
The choice depends on 5 factors: 1) Footstrike (wet test: full footprint = pronator โ Adrenaline GTS, outer = supinator โ Glycerin, central = neutral โ Ghost), 2) Weight (60โ90kg = Ghost ideal, over 90kg = Glycerin), 3) Distance (5โ25km = Ghost, over 25km = Glycerin or Hyperion Max), 4) Surface (asphalt = Ghost, trail = Cascadia), 5) Pace (over 4'30"/km = Ghost perfect, under 4'00" = Hyperion). 12mm drop protects sensitive Achilles tendon.
