Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Brooks Ghost Trail trainers, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Break-in Period: Wear the shoes for shorter walks before attempting long-distance runs to allow the foam to adapt to your foot strike.
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush after trail runs. If the shoes are muddy, hand-wash them using warm water and mild soap; avoid using a washing machine or dryer as this can damage the foam and adhesives.
- Storage: Keep your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can degrade the rubber outsole and synthetic upper materials over time.
- Sizing: These shoes are sized in UK adult measurements. Ensure you have roughly a half-inch of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to account for foot swelling during exercise.
