Product Information
Full details
The Brooks Ghost 18 is a high-performance, neutral road trainer designed for adult runners and walkers who prioritize consistent comfort during daily training sessions. By utilizing advanced nitrogen-infused DNA LOFT v3 foam and a durable RoadTack outsole, this shoe offers a responsive, stable ride suitable for high-mileage users, though it may feel slightly firm for those strictly seeking maximum "plush" sensation.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathons?
Yes, the Ghost 18 is designed as a daily trainer that can handle the mileage required for marathon training, though race-day performance depends on individual preference.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
While excellent for treadmills and cardio, their neutral, cushioned design may feel too unstable for heavy weightlifting or lateral-movement-heavy sports.
How long should a pair of Ghost 18s last?
Typical lifespan is between 300 and 500 miles, depending on the running surface, user weight, and personal running mechanics.
Are these waterproof?
No, the upper is designed for breathability, meaning they are not waterproof and will absorb water if stepped in puddles.
Is this a stability shoe?
No, the Ghost 18 is a neutral shoe designed for runners who do not require extra arch support or pronation control.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of slippage in the heel area
Try the 'runner's loop' or 'lock lace' method to secure the ankle collar more firmly.
Outsole collecting pebbles or debris
The tread pattern is designed for road use; if debris persists, rinse the outsole with low-pressure water and brush out the grooves.
Foam feeling compressed after a long session
This is normal. Allow the shoes to sit in a dry, ventilated area for 24 hours to let the nitrogen-infused material return to its original structure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure maximum longevity of your Brooks Ghost 18, it is recommended to allow the foam to decompress for 24 hours between runs if you log heavy daily mileage. For cleaning, remove loose dirt using a soft-bristled brush, and wipe the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap; do not machine wash or dry, as high heat can degrade the nitrogen-infused foam. If you use custom orthotics, the internal sock liner is removable, allowing you to accommodate your specific inserts while maintaining a neutral fit profile.
