Troubleshooting
Foot feels slightly loose or sliding
Try using the additional eyelet at the top of the lacing system for a secure runner's loop knot.
Visible dirt on white mesh upper
Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent; do not submerge or use a washing machine.
Sensation of heat buildup
Ensure the laces are not pulled too tight across the bridge of the foot, allowing the engineered mesh to breathe properly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the life of your Brooks Ghost 18, ensure that the shoes are properly laced to utilize the secure fit of the engineered mesh upper without overtightening. If you use custom orthotics, the internal space is generally accommodating, though removing the stock OrthoLite sockliner may be necessary for an optimal fit. For maintenance, clean the exterior of the shoes by hand using a soft brush and mild soap, avoiding machine washing or drying, which can damage the cushioning materials and glues. Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the rubber and foam from degrading prematurely.
