FAQs

Is the Brooks Ghost 18 suitable for flat feet?

The Ghost 18 is a neutral trainer, which works for many runners, but those needing significant arch support may consider adding an aftermarket insole.

Can I use these for marathon training?

Yes, the Ghost 18 is specifically designed to handle high weekly volume and is a popular choice for marathon training blocks.

How often should I replace the Ghost 18?

Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300-500 miles, depending on your running surface and body weight.

Is the mesh upper waterproof?

No, the engineered mesh is designed for high breathability, which allows water to pass through quickly.

What is the primary difference from previous versions?

The Ghost 18 features updated cushioning technology to further refine the softness and smoothness of the ride.

Troubleshooting

Foot slipping inside the shoe

Try the 'runner's loop' or 'lock lacing' technique to secure the heel area more firmly.

Feeling tightness across the top of the foot

Loosen the laces throughout the eyelet rows, starting from the toe box, to reduce pressure.

Excessive dirt buildup on the mesh

Allow mud to dry completely and then use a soft-bristled brush to gently knock the debris off.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Consistent and reliable ride for daily mileage
  • Soft cushioning provides excellent comfort
  • Breathable mesh upper prevents overheating
  • Versatile design suitable for various run types

Cons

  • May lack the aggressive energy return found in specialized racing shoes
  • Not intended for runners requiring significant stability correction
  • Design is strictly functional rather than fashion-forward

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Brooks Ghost 18 trainers, follow these guidelines:

  1. Fit: Ensure you have a thumb's width of space at the front of the shoe for natural foot swelling during runs.
  2. Break-in: While comfortable out of the box, light walking or short runs help the upper material mold to your foot shape.
  3. Cleaning: Hand wash using mild soap and a soft brush; never machine wash or tumble dry as this can damage the cushioning properties.
  4. Air Drying: Always air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the materials.
