Full details

FAQs

What type of runner is the Brooks Ghost 18 best for?

The Brooks Ghost 18 is ideal for neutral runners seeking a comfortable, cushioned shoe for everyday training, recovery runs, and moderate-paced efforts. It's versatile enough for runners of all levels.

How does the Ghost 18 differ from previous Ghost models?

The Ghost 18 features updated cushioning for an even smoother ride and a refined engineered mesh upper for an improved adaptable fit. Specific cushioning compounds and upper constructions may vary slightly year to year, aiming for enhanced comfort and performance.

Can I use the Ghost 18 for long-distance running?

Yes, the Ghost 18 is well-suited for long-distance running due to its ample cushioning and comfort, which help reduce fatigue over many miles.

Is this shoe suitable for someone who overpronates?

The Ghost 18 is a neutral shoe, meaning it does not have built-in stability features for overpronation. Runners who overpronate may need to consider a stability shoe from Brooks or another brand.

How should I clean my Brooks Ghost 18 trainers?

Clean them using a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can damage the shoe's materials and structure. Allow them to air dry naturally.

What is the expected lifespan of the Brooks Ghost 18?

With proper care, the Brooks Ghost 18 typically lasts between 300 to 500 miles of running. This can vary based on your running style, body weight, and the surfaces you run on.

Are these shoes good for walking or casual wear?

Yes, the comfort and cushioning make the Ghost 18 a great option for walking and everyday casual wear, providing support throughout the day.

Troubleshooting

Discomfort or rubbing during runs

Ensure you have the correct size and width. Check laces for proper tension. If the issue persists, consider a different sock type or consult a running shoe specialist.

Reduced cushioning feel over time

The cushioning in running shoes naturally degrades with mileage. If you have logged significant miles (typically 300-500 miles), it may be time to consider replacing the shoes.

Upper material feels too tight or loose

Adjust the lacing system to create a more personalized fit. Ensure the width of the shoe is appropriate for your foot.

Slipping on wet surfaces

The outsole is designed for road conditions. For very wet or slippery surfaces, exercise caution. The tread may offer limited grip in such conditions.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Consistently comfortable cushioning for everyday runs.
  • Smooth transitions from heel to toe enhance ride quality.

Cons

  • Primarily designed for neutral pronation; may lack sufficient support for overpronators.
  • The cushioning might feel too soft for runners who prefer a firmer, more responsive feel.

  • Color options can be specific and may not suit all aesthetic preferences.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for neutral runners and are suitable for road running and general fitness activities. They are not specifically designed for trail running or sports requiring aggressive lateral support.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: To clean, use a damp cloth with mild soap to spot clean any dirt or stains on the upper and midsole. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
  2. Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources. Do not machine dry.
  3. Laces: Remove laces and clean them separately if needed.
  4. Insoles: If removable, the insoles can be taken out for airing or cleaning.
