Product Information

Full details

The Brooks Ghost 18 trainers are designed for neutral road runners seeking a soft, smooth, and dependable experience for daily mileage, easy runs, walking, and general fitness. Their key benefit lies in the nitrogen-infused DNA LOFT v3 cushioning, providing exceptional comfort and shock absorption. A potential caveat is that while the fit is secure, it might feel slightly snug for wider feet, though the engineered mesh offers some adaptability.

FAQs

Are the Brooks Ghost 18 suitable for marathon running?

Yes, the Ghost 18 provides ample cushioning and comfort for marathon distances, especially for neutral runners who prioritize a soft ride.

How do I know if I need a neutral shoe like the Ghost 18?

Neutral shoes are for runners whose feet land on the outside edge or roll slightly inward but not excessively. If your arches are normal and you don't experience significant inward rolling of your foot after landing, a neutral shoe is likely suitable. Wet footprints can indicate a neutral arch.

What is the difference between the Ghost 18 and previous Ghost models?

The Ghost 18 features an updated engineered mesh upper for improved breathability and fit, along with a refined DNA LOFT v3 midsole for enhanced softness and responsiveness. The outsole also incorporates recycled silica.

Can I wear these shoes for trail running?

The Ghost 18 is primarily designed for road running. While the RoadTack outsole offers durable grip, it is not optimized for the varied terrain and technical demands of trail running. For trails, consider shoes with more aggressive traction and protective features.

How does the fit compare to other Brooks running shoes?

The Ghost 18 offers a secure, slightly snug fit that is true to size for most runners. It aims to accommodate a variety of foot shapes due to the adaptable engineered mesh. If you typically wear a wider size in other brands, you might find this fit snug.

How do I clean the shoes if they get muddy?

Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. Then, use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap and cold water to gently clean the affected areas. Rinse the cloth and wipe away any soap residue. Allow to air dry completely.

Is the "Black/Pink" colorway available in other sizes?

The specific 'Black/Pink' colorway is available in various UK sizes for women. Please check the product listing or retailer for the full range of available sizes.

What is the heel-to-toe drop on the Ghost 18?

The Brooks Ghost 18 has a heel-to-toe offset of 10mm.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or loose

Adjust the lacing pattern. For a tighter fit, use a runner's loop or add an extra eyelet. For a looser fit, ensure laces are not tied too tightly and consider skipping an eyelet.

Discomfort on the top of the foot

Ensure the flat-knit tongue is positioned correctly and not bunched up. Try a different lacing technique or adjust the tightness around the ankle and midfoot.

Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time

This is normal wear and tear. The DNA LOFT v3 cushioning, while durable, will eventually compress. Consider replacing the shoes after approximately 300-500 miles (480-800 km) of use, or when you notice a significant loss in comfort and support.

Slipping on wet surfaces

While the RoadTack outsole provides good grip, extremely wet or slick surfaces may still pose a risk. Exercise caution and reduce speed in such conditions. The outsole is designed for road use, not for highly technical or slippery trails.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional softness and smooth ride for everyday comfort.
  • Lightweight and responsive cushioning through DNA LOFT v3.
  • Breathable upper enhances comfort during runs.
  • Durable outsole with a sustainable material component.
  • Versatile for various activities beyond just running.

Cons

  • May feel slightly snug for runners with very wide feet.
  • Primarily designed for road running, less ideal for technical trails.
  • While durable, high-mileage runners might wear down the cushioning over extended periods.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

No specific setup is required for the Brooks Ghost 18 trainers. They are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have tied the laces appropriately for a secure fit before your first run or activity.

Compatibility:

These trainers are designed as neutral running shoes, making them compatible with most runners who have a neutral gait or supinate (outward rolling foot). They are not specifically designed for runners who overpronate (inward rolling foot).

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Spot clean with a mild detergent and cold water using a soft brush or cloth. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water, as this can damage the materials and cushioning.
  • Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or dryers, which can warp the shape and materials.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
  • Rotation: For optimal lifespan and performance, consider rotating between multiple pairs of running shoes if you run frequently.
