FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for trails?

How often should I replace my Ghost 18 trainers?

Does the mesh upper provide water resistance?
No, the breathable mesh is designed for ventilation rather than waterproofing.
Is this shoe intended for neutral runners?

Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure points on the top of the foot
Adjust the lacing pattern to a wider configuration, skipping eyelets where pressure is felt.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience, wear your standard athletic socks during your initial fitting to gauge the fit of the Ghost 18. Ensure the laces are tightened firmly but not restrictedly to keep the midfoot secure. For care, do not machine wash these trainers. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried mud or debris and wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the materials from warping or degrading.
