Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Brooks Ghost 18, proper care is essential. When you first receive the shoes, ensure the lacing is adjusted to your specific foot volume to prevent slippage without creating pressure points. If you utilize custom orthotics, ensure they replace the stock insole for a proper fit.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Hand wash only using lukewarm water and a soft brush. Remove excess dirt after each run.
- Drying: Air dry only at room temperature. Never place shoes in a dryer or near a direct heat source like a radiator, as extreme heat can degrade the foam's integrity.
- Replacement: Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300-500 miles, depending on your running style and surface conditions.
