Product Information
Full details
The Brooks Ghost 18 is designed for adult runners and fitness enthusiasts seeking a reliable, neutral road running shoe that excels in daily training. Its primary strength lies in the nitrogen-infused DNA LOFT v3 cushioning, which provides exceptionally soft landings and smooth transitions, though users should note it is optimized specifically for road surfaces rather than technical trails.

FAQs
Is the Brooks Ghost 18 a stability shoe?
No, the Ghost 18 is a neutral road running shoe designed for runners who do not require significant overpronation support.
Can I use these shoes for trail running?
These shoes are optimized for road and pavement use; they lack the aggressive lugs and protection required for technical trail terrain.
How often should I replace my Ghost 18 trainers?
It is generally recommended to replace running shoes every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running style and surface conditions.
Does the Ghost 18 run true to size?
The Ghost 18 follows standard adult sizing; however, individual fit may vary based on foot width and sock thickness.
Is the upper material waterproof?
The engineered mesh is designed for breathability and is not waterproof or water-resistant.
What is the primary benefit of the RoadTack rubber?
RoadTack provides a balance of lightweight traction and increased durability, specifically designed to withstand the wear of road miles.
Troubleshooting
Heel slipping while walking or running
Try using the additional eyelet at the top of the lacing system to create a runner's loop for a more secure heel lock.
Upper material showing dirt or stains
Spot clean the mesh with a mixture of water and a very small amount of mild detergent, scrubbing gently with a soft sponge or cloth.
Footbed feels overly flat or compressed
Check the OrthoLite sockliner for debris or wear; if it has lost its shape, consider replacing the insert with a new pair of compatible insoles.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Brooks Ghost 18 trainers, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in Period: While comfortable out of the box, allow for a few short walks or light runs to let the OrthoLite sockliner and upper material conform to your unique foot shape.
- Cleaning: Hand wash the shoes using a soft brush, mild soap, and cold water. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can damage the integrity of the foam cushioning and adhesives.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the upper mesh from fading and the rubber outsole from becoming brittle.
- Maintenance: If the shoes become wet, remove the sockliner and stuff the interior with newspaper or a dry cloth to speed up the drying process.
