Product Information

Full details

The Brooks Ghost 18 trainers are designed for adult female runners seeking a neutral, soft, and smooth ride for daily training, easy miles, walking, and general fitness. Their key benefit is the reliable comfort provided by nitrogen-infused DNA LOFT v3 cushioning and a redesigned engineered mesh upper that adapts to various foot shapes. A potential caveat is that while designed for a secure fit, some runners may prefer a wider toe box.

FAQs

Are the Brooks Ghost 18 suitable for marathon running?

Yes, the Ghost 18 is excellent for marathon training and racing due to its superior cushioning and comfortable ride, suitable for high mileage.

What is the main difference between the Ghost 18 and previous models?

The Ghost 18 features an updated engineered mesh upper for improved fit and breathability, along with nitrogen-infused DNA LOFT v3 cushioning for enhanced softness and responsiveness.

Can I use these shoes for trail running?

These shoes are designed for road running. While they might handle very light, well-groomed trails, they lack the aggressive tread and protection needed for technical or uneven trails.

How do I know if I need a neutral shoe like the Ghost 18?

Neutral shoes are best for runners with a neutral gait, meaning their foot doesn't excessively roll inward (pronate) or outward (supinate) upon landing. If you're unsure, consult a running specialist.

What does 'vegan friendly' mean for these shoes?

It means that no animal products were used in the manufacturing of the shoes.

How much do the Brooks Ghost 18 weigh?

The men's version typically weighs around 286g (10.1 oz) for a US size 9.

What is the heel-to-toe drop?

The Brooks Ghost 18 has a heel-to-toe drop of 10mm.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure laces are loosened before putting on. If still tight, consider trying a half-size up or exploring wider fit options if available. The mesh upper will offer some give over time.

Discomfort in the arch area

The OrthoLite sockliner provides some arch support. If discomfort persists, consider using an aftermarket insole tailored to your specific arch support needs.

Reduced cushioning feel over time

Cushioning can degrade with extensive use. Ensure the shoes are not overused beyond their intended lifespan (typically 300-500 miles). Regular cleaning and proper drying can also help maintain material integrity.

Poor traction on wet surfaces

The RoadTack outsole is designed for road grip. On very wet or slick surfaces, reduce speed and proceed with caution. For extreme wet conditions, consider shoes with specialized wet-traction outsoles.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Offers a consistently soft and smooth running experience.
  • Lightweight cushioning provides excellent shock absorption.
  • The updated upper provides a secure yet breathable fit.
  • Durable outsole suitable for various road running conditions.
  • Accommodates different foot shapes well due to adaptive upper.

Cons

  • May not offer enough structure for runners requiring stability.
  • The fit can feel slightly snug for those with very wide feet.
  • While durable, the outsole grip might be less effective on very wet or uneven surfaces compared to specialized trail shoes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Brooks Ghost 18 trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. There is no specific setup required; simply lace them up to your preferred tightness.

Fit: These shoes are designed to fit true to size. It is recommended to take your normal running shoe size. The engineered mesh upper adapts to a variety of foot shapes, offering a secure but comfortable fit.

Compatibility: Designed primarily for road running, they are compatible with most paved surfaces. They are suitable for various athletic activities and casual wear.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: To clean, use a mild soap and cold water. Gently scrub with a soft brush or cloth. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can damage the shoe's materials and structure.
  • Drying: Always air dry shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid extreme temperatures.
