Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Brooks Ghost 18 trainers last, proper care is essential. When you first receive your shoes, ensure a 'thumb's width' of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to allow for foot swelling during exercise. For cleaning, remove surface dirt with a soft-bristled brush. If the uppers become stained, wipe them down with a mild soap solution and lukewarm water. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can break down the adhesives and foam integrity. Always air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight.
