Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Brooks Ghost 18 remains in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in Period: While comfortable out of the box, allow for a few short walks to ensure the mesh upper settles into your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Remove surface dirt with a soft brush. Use a damp cloth with mild soap for localized stains; avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as this can degrade the cushioning materials.
- Storage: Keep your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the rubber compounds and mesh from prematurely aging.
- Replacement: Plan to assess the outsole and midsole compression after 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and intensity.
