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.

Yes, the Ghost 18 offers balanced cushioning and support that works well for many foot types, including those with neutral to slight overpronation.
It is generally recommended to replace trainers every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and body weight.
While these are designed for daily mileage, they are versatile enough for moderate paces; however, runners seeking speed may prefer a lighter, firmer shoe.
No, they feature an engineered mesh upper designed for maximum breathability, which allows water to pass through.
Ensure your UK size is consistent with your previous Brooks models, and verify that there is enough room for your toes to splay naturally.
Yes, the sockliners in the Ghost 18 are removable if you need to insert your own custom orthotics.
Try adjusting the lacing pattern to a 'window lacing' style to relieve pressure on the area covered by the tongue.
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.
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.
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.
