FAQs
Are the Brooks Ghost 18s good for high arches?
Yes, as a neutral shoe, they provide a comfortable, accommodating platform for runners with high arches who do not need extra medial support.
Can I use these for marathon training?
Absolutely. The DNA LOFT v3 cushioning is designed for high-mileage comfort, making them a popular choice for marathon training programs.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the Ghost 18 is designed for breathability and is not waterproof. They will allow moisture to pass through during heavy rain.
How often should I replace these trainers?
Generally, running shoes like the Ghost 18 should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and body weight.
Does the Ghost 18 come in different widths?
Brooks offers various widths for many of their models; check your specific retailer to see if wide or narrow options are available for your size.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure points on the top of the foot
Try adjusting your lacing technique to a 'window' or 'gap' lace style to relieve pressure on the midfoot.
Excessive movement within the shoe
Ensure you are using the final eyelet for a 'runner's loop' to lock the heel securely in place.
Outsole losing grip on wet pavement
Check the tread for debris buildup or wear; if the RoadTack material is smooth, the rubber may be past its effective lifespan.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Brooks Ghost 18 trainers, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in Period: While these shoes feel great out of the box, wear them for shorter walks before committing to a long-distance run.
- Cleaning: Remove surface dirt with a soft brush. Use a damp cloth with mild soap for stains; avoid putting them in the washing machine or tumble dryer, as heat can damage the foam and adhesives.
- Storage: Keep your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can degrade the cushioning materials over time.
- Rotation: If you run daily, consider rotating between two pairs to allow the nitrogen-infused foam to fully decompress between uses.
