FAQs
Is the Ghost 18 suitable for trail running?
The Ghost 18 is primarily designed for road surfaces; while it may handle light gravel, it lacks the aggressive lugs required for technical trails.
What is the weight of the Ghost 18?
This model weighs approximately 289.2 g.
Does this shoe provide extra arch support?
The Ghost 18 is a neutral shoe, meaning it provides balanced support without extra medial posting for overpronation.
Can I use orthotic insoles with these trainers?
Yes, the sockliner is removable, making it compatible with most custom or aftermarket orthotic inserts.
What does the 10 mm drop mean?
The 10 mm drop refers to the difference in height between the heel and the forefoot, which helps promote a smooth transition through the gait cycle.
Troubleshooting
Foot feels tight during exercise
Adjust the lacing tension, specifically at the midfoot, to allow for natural foot swelling during runs.
Visible wear on the outsole
Monitor the tread patterns; if the rubber is worn down to the foam, the shoe has reached the end of its life.
Cushioning feels less responsive
Midsole foam compression is normal over time; if performance significantly drops, it is time for a replacement pair.
Pros and Cons
Pros

- Durable outsole performance on road surfaces
- Balanced support for neutral foot mechanics

- Breathable upper material
Cons
- 10 mm drop may be too steep for barefoot-style fans
- Limited to road-specific surfaces
- Design focuses on comfort over speed-oriented responsiveness
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance, verify your UK size (e.g., 7 UK for this variant) and ensure you wear the socks you intend to use for running while testing the fit. The shoe requires no complex 'break-in' period, though a few short walks before a long run are recommended to allow the upper to conform to your foot shape.
Care Instructions:
- Wipe down the upper with a damp cloth after muddy runs.
- Avoid using a washing machine, as this can degrade the foam integrity.
- Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to preserve the midsole's chemical structure.
- Replace your shoes every 400-500 miles to ensure the cushioning remains effective.
