FAQs

Are the Ghost 18s suitable for flat feet?

The Ghost 18 is a neutral shoe. If you have severe overpronation, you may require additional arch support via custom orthotics.

Can I use these for gym workouts?

Yes, their stable design is suitable for general gym use, though they are primarily optimized for linear running movements.

How often should I replace these trainers?

It is recommended to replace them every 300-500 miles, depending on your running surface and body weight.

Are they waterproof?

No, the engineered mesh upper is designed for maximum breathability and will not repel water.

How does the sizing compare to other brands?

Brooks generally follows standard UK sizing conventions. We recommend using the provided UK size guide for your specific foot measurements.

Troubleshooting

Feeling pressure points on the top of the foot

Adjust the lacing pattern to a 'window lacing' style to relieve pressure while maintaining overall stability.

Slipping inside the shoe during exercise

Ensure the heel is securely seated and utilize the extra eyelet for a 'runner's loop' lacing technique to lock the ankle in place.

Outer sole wearing down faster than expected

Monitor your running gait for heavy heel striking or dragging and ensure you are only using the shoes on appropriate road surfaces.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent cushioning for daily road running
  • Highly breathable mesh upper for thermal comfort
  • Durable rubber outsole suitable for long-distance training
  • Versatile design transitions well from running to casual daily use
  • Consistent and reliable fit across the Ghost series

Cons

  • Primarily designed for road use, not rugged trails
  • May feel too firm for those seeking extreme 'bouncy' foam
  • Limited to neutral support profiles

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Ghost 18s, follow these guidelines:

  1. Break-in Period: While comfortable out of the box, allow 15-20 miles for the materials to fully conform to your foot shape.
  2. Cleaning: Remove surface dirt with a soft brush and clean with mild soap and water. Never submerge in water or use a washing machine, as this can degrade the internal adhesive and foam structure.
  3. Drying: Air dry only in a cool, ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the materials.
  4. Rotation: If training daily, consider rotating with another pair of shoes to allow the cushioning foam 24-48 hours to fully recover its bounce.
