Product Information
Full details
The Brooks Ghost 18 is designed for neutral runners seeking a reliable, soft, and smooth daily trainer for road use. It excels at providing consistent shock absorption and a comfortable, adaptive fit, though it may feel too traditional for runners looking for a high-propulsion or carbon-plated racing shoe. This latest iteration continues the series' reputation for dependability while upgrading the upper for improved breathability and durability.

FAQs
Is the Brooks Ghost 18 suitable for wide feet?
The redesigned engineered mesh upper is highly adaptive, but if you have notably wide feet, you may wish to look for specific 'Wide' width versions of this model.
Does this shoe provide stability for overpronation?
No, the Ghost 18 is a neutral running shoe. It does not contain the corrective posting or structures required to manage significant overpronation.
How long should these trainers last?
Most runners find that the Ghost series provides optimal support and cushioning for approximately 300 to 500 miles of use.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
While excellent for running, the high stack height and soft cushioning may offer less stability for heavy weightlifting or lateral-movement-heavy exercises.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the Ghost 18 features a removable sockliner, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics if required.
What is the primary difference in the Ghost 18 compared to older versions?
The Ghost 18 features an updated engineered mesh for better airflow and a more refined RoadTack rubber outsole for improved long-term grip.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure points on the top of the foot
Try adjusting the lacing technique, such as using a window lacing pattern to relieve tension on the top of the arch.
Outsole collecting pebbles in grooves
Periodically inspect the outsole and use a dull tool or brush to gently clear debris lodged in the tread patterns.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Ghost 18 trainers, ensure you have the correct size for your specific foot shape. These shoes are designed for neutral foot strikes. Care instructions include:
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush and clean the upper using a damp cloth with mild soap.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can degrade the foam.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to prevent material breakdown.
- Rotation: Allow the cushioning foam to recover by rotating your trainers if you run daily.
