FAQs

Is the Ghost 18 a stability shoe?

No, the Ghost 18 is a neutral road running shoe designed for runners who do not require extra medial support.

Can I put these in the dryer?

No, you should never place your running shoes in a dryer, as the heat will damage the foam and upper materials.

What is the primary material used in the cushioning?

The Ghost 18 uses nitrogen-infused DNA LOFT v3 foam.

Are these shoes suitable for walking?

Yes, the comfort-focused design and smooth ride make them an excellent choice for walking and everyday wear.

How do I know if the Ghost 18 fits correctly?

You should have about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to allow for natural movement.

Does the Ghost 18 feature recycled materials?

Yes, the RoadTack rubber outsole incorporates recycled silica.

Troubleshooting

Feeling pressure on top of the foot

Try adjusting the lacing pattern to a 'window' or 'gap' lacing style to relieve tension over the bridge of the foot.

Outsole wearing down quickly

Ensure you are using the shoe primarily on roads or paths rather than abrasive surfaces like gravel or rocky trails.

Sockliner slipping

Remove the sockliner, ensure there is no debris in the footbed, and re-insert firmly, pressing down until it is flat.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptionally soft and smooth heel-to-toe transition
  • Breathable mesh upper adapts well to different foot shapes
  • Durable outsole suitable for high-mileage road training
  • Lightweight construction with eco-conscious material use
  • High-quality interior cushioning for immediate step-in comfort

Cons

  • Neutral platform may not be suitable for those needing significant arch support
  • Engineered mesh design favors flexibility over structured containment
  • Limited to road and hard surface performance

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Brooks Ghost 18, it is important to allow the shoe to air out between uses, especially after damp or sweaty runs. Keep the shoes away from direct high-heat sources like radiators, as excessive heat can degrade the cushioning foam over time. For cleaning, remove the sockliner and brush off loose dirt; use a damp cloth with mild soap for surface stains. Avoid submerging the shoes in a washing machine, as this can compromise the structural integrity of the mesh and the adhesive layers.
