Product Information
Full details
The Brooks Ghost 18 is a premier neutral road running shoe designed for runners and walkers seeking a consistent, soft, and reliable platform for daily mileage. Featuring nitrogen-infused DNA LOFT v3 cushioning and a refreshed engineered mesh upper, it offers exceptional shock absorption and a secure, breathable fit for a wide variety of foot shapes. While highly versatile for both training and everyday wear, the shoe is specifically optimized for road surfaces, meaning it may lack the aggressive traction needed for technical trail running.

FAQs
Is the Brooks Ghost 18 suitable for flat feet?
The Ghost 18 is a neutral shoe. If you have flat feet, you may still wear them if you do not require extra stability or motion control, but consult with a podiatrist if you use custom orthotics.
Can these be used for gym workouts?
Yes, they are suitable for treadmill running and general gym activities, though the high-stack cushioning may feel less stable for heavy weightlifting.
How many miles can I expect from these shoes?
Most runners find that the Ghost series lasts between 300 to 500 miles depending on running surface, weight, and stride mechanics.
Are they water-resistant?
The Ghost 18 features a breathable engineered mesh which is not waterproof. They will get wet in heavy rain.
What is the primary difference between the Ghost 18 and previous models?
The Ghost 18 features an updated upper for better fit and a refined RoadTack rubber outsole for improved durability compared to previous iterations.
Troubleshooting
Foot slippage inside the shoe
Try the 'runner's loop' lacing technique using the additional eyelet at the top to lock the heel in place.
Feeling pressure on the top of the foot
Loosen the laces significantly and re-lace using a parallel lacing method to reduce downward pressure from the tongue.
Sole feeling 'dead' or less bouncy
Ensure the shoe is fully dry after use; moisture can temporarily impact the responsiveness of the DNA LOFT v3 foam.
Pros and Cons

- Highly breathable upper design

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Ghost 18 trainers, ensure the lacing is adjusted to your preferred tension without overtightening the top eyelet to maintain circulation. The mesh upper is machine-washable safe, though hand-washing with mild soap and air-drying away from direct heat is strongly recommended to preserve the integrity of the foam cushioning and adhesive. To maintain the life of the RoadTack rubber, avoid wearing the shoes in extreme heat, such as inside a locked car during summer, as high temperatures can degrade the midsole compound prematurely. Regularly inspect the outsole for small pebbles or debris trapped in the tread patterns to maintain optimal traction.
