FAQs
Is the Ghost 18 suitable for flat feet?
The Ghost 18 is a neutral shoe that offers inherent stability; however, if you require significant arch support for flat feet, you may wish to pair them with custom orthotics.
Can I use these for marathon training?
Yes, the Ghost 18 is specifically designed as a high-mileage road trainer capable of handling the volume required for marathon preparation.
How often should I replace my Ghost 18s?
Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and body weight.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the Ghost 18 features a breathable mesh upper, meaning they are not waterproof and will absorb water in heavy rain.
Is the heel drop fixed at 10mm?
Yes, the shoe features a consistent 10mm midsole drop to provide reliable support and transition mechanics.
Troubleshooting
Heel slipping while walking or running
Try using the extra eyelet at the top of the lacing system to create a 'runner's loop' or heel lock to secure the ankle.
Midsole foam feels stiff
New trainers often require a break-in period of 20-30 miles to allow the midsole materials to soften and adapt to your unique stride.
Pros and Cons
Pros

- High-traction outsole performs well on pavement
- Soft, comfortable tongue and liner design
- Excellent inherent stability for neutral runners
Cons
- Not intended for technical trail running
- 10.2oz weight is mid-range rather than ultra-light
- Traditional design may lack modern 'propulsive' features
Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best fit, ensure you are wearing the performance socks you intend to use for your runs when sizing the Ghost 18. Since this model features a secure heel, ensure the laces are snug but not tight across the bridge to allow for natural foot swelling during exercise. To maintain the life of the shoes, avoid machine washing or drying; instead, remove the sockliner and air dry in a cool, shaded area if they become wet. Rotate your shoes if you run daily, as this allows the midsole cushioning foam to decompress fully between sessions.
