Product Information

Full details

The Brooks Ghost 18 is designed for adult male runners and walkers who prioritize consistent cushioning and a smooth ride for their daily miles. These trainers offer a reliable, balanced feel with an engineered mesh upper for breathability, though the 10mm drop may feel too traditional for those accustomed to minimal or zero-drop footwear.

FAQs

Is the Brooks Ghost 18 suitable for flat feet?

Yes, the Ghost 18 offers balanced cushioning and support that works well for many foot types, including those with neutral to slight overpronation.

How often should I replace my Brooks Ghost 18?

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

Can I use these for speed training?

While these are designed for daily mileage, they are versatile enough for moderate paces; however, runners seeking speed may prefer a lighter, firmer shoe.

Are these shoes waterproof?

No, they feature an engineered mesh upper designed for maximum breathability, which allows water to pass through.

How do I ensure I have the right size?

Ensure your UK size is consistent with your previous Brooks models, and verify that there is enough room for your toes to splay naturally.

Are the sockliners removable?

Yes, the sockliners in the Ghost 18 are removable if you need to insert your own custom orthotics.

Troubleshooting

Feeling discomfort or pressure on the top of the foot

Try adjusting the lacing pattern to a 'window lacing' style to relieve pressure on the area covered by the tongue.

Slippage in the heel area

Use the extra eyelet at the top of the lacing system to perform a 'runner's loop' or heel lock knot to secure the fit.

Outsole collecting pebbles

The RoadTack pattern is designed for road use; if you traverse light gravel, use a blunt object to gently clear debris from the grooves after your run.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Consistent and reliable cushioning for everyday use
  • Breathable mesh upper keeps feet cool
  • RoadTack outsole provides excellent road grip
  • Improved tongue and sockliner enhance step-in comfort
  • Stable platform suitable for both running and walking

Cons

  • 10mm drop may not suit runners looking for minimal ground feel
  • Weight of 10.2oz is moderate, not ultra-light
  • Design is focused on stability rather than speed-specific performance

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Brooks Ghost 18 trainers perform optimally, start by ensuring a proper fit; there should be a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe. If you use custom orthotics, the internal space is generally generous enough to accommodate most standard inserts. For care, avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can degrade the foam integrity and glue bonds. Instead, remove loose dirt with a soft brush and clean the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. If the shoes become soaked, remove the sockliner and air dry them away from direct heat sources like radiators.
