FAQs
Is the Brooks Ghost 18 a neutral or stability shoe?
The Ghost 18 is classified as a neutral running shoe, meaning it is designed for runners who do not require specific corrective support for overpronation.
Can I use the Ghost 18 for gym workouts?
While excellent for treadmill running and cardio, the high stack height for cushioning may feel slightly less stable during heavy lateral movements or weightlifting.
What is the weight of the Ghost 18?
The shoe weighs approximately 289.2 grams, making it a lightweight option for daily training.
How often should I replace these shoes?
Generally, running shoes like the Ghost 18 should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running style and surface conditions.
What does the 10mm drop mean?
The drop refers to the difference in height between the heel and the forefoot. A 10mm drop is a traditional offset that provides extra cushioning in the heel for comfort.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The standard Ghost 18 provides a reliable fit for average foot widths, but always check if your specific size variant is available in wide widths if you have specific fit requirements.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight after a long run
Feet naturally swell during exercise. Ensure you are wearing appropriate technical socks and consider loosening the laces during the later stages of your activity.
Outsole collecting small debris
The RoadTack outsole features tread patterns designed for grip; use a soft brush or compressed air to dislodge pebbles or debris trapped in the grooves.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Brooks Ghost 18 trainers, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Break-in Period: While comfortable out of the box, wear them for shorter walks before attempting long-distance runs to allow the foam to adapt to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Hand wash using a soft-bristled brush, warm water, and mild soap. Avoid using a washing machine or dryer, as the heat can degrade the nitrogen-infused foam and adhesive properties.
- Drying: Air dry only. Remove the sock liner (insole) and stuff the shoes with newspaper to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
- Rotation: If you run daily, consider rotating between two pairs of shoes to allow the cushioning materials 24-48 hours to recover their structural integrity.
