Product Information
Full details
The Brooks Ghost Trail Trainers are designed for adult male runners who require a versatile hybrid shoe capable of transitioning seamlessly between paved roads and off-road trails. These trainers offer a high level of comfort and impact protection through advanced nitrogen-infused cushioning, though runners primarily focused on extremely muddy or loose terrain may find the 3mm lugs better suited for moderate trails rather than deep mud.

FAQs
Can I use these shoes exclusively on asphalt?
Yes, the Ghost Trail hybrid design is capable of handling road miles comfortably, though the outsole rubber is optimized for trail durability.
How do I determine the right size?
These shoes follow standard UK adult sizing. It is recommended to choose a size that allows for a thumb's width of space at the front of the toe box to prevent bruising on descents.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, they feature a breathable mesh upper designed to let moisture and heat escape, which is not waterproof.
What is the weight of the shoe?
The Brooks Ghost Trail Trainers weigh approximately 300g per shoe.
How often should I replace these trail shoes?
Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on the intensity of the trails and the wear on the outsole lugs.
Troubleshooting
Feeling debris inside the shoe during runs
Ensure the laces are tensioned properly around the midfoot and consider using gaiters if the trail is particularly dusty or contains small pebbles.
Loss of traction on steep, muddy slopes
The 3mm lug depth is designed for versatile use; for extreme mud conditions, choose a slower pace or avoid excessively saturated paths.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Brooks Ghost Trail trainers, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt after each run using a soft-bristled brush. Hand wash with mild soap and cold water if heavily soiled.
- Drying: Air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the cushioning foam.
- Compatibility: These trainers are standard road-to-trail hybrids. They are compatible with most standard orthotic insoles if you require additional arch support.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent material degradation.
