FAQs

What type of runner is the Brooks Ghost 18 best suited for?

The Ghost 18 is ideal for neutral runners who need a reliable daily trainer that offers a soft, balanced cushioning and smooth ride. It works well for runners of all levels, from beginners to experienced marathoners, for everyday mileage.

How often should I replace my Brooks Ghost 18 shoes?

It is generally recommended to replace running shoes every 300-500 miles (500-800 kilometers), or when you notice a significant decrease in cushioning or support. This can vary depending on your running style, weight, and the surfaces you run on.

Can I use the Ghost 18 for trail running?

While the durable outsole offers some grip, the Ghost 18 is primarily designed for road running. It may not provide sufficient traction or protection for technical or muddy trail surfaces.

What is the main difference between the Ghost 18 and previous versions?

The Ghost 18 features updated details for enhanced comfort, particularly around the ankle and heel, while maintaining the signature soft cushioning and balanced support that the series is known for.

Are these shoes good for people with wide feet?

Brooks often offers various width options for their popular models. Check for 'Wide' (2E) or 'Extra Wide' (4E) sizing if you have wider feet, although specific availability may vary.

How do I clean my Brooks Ghost 18 trainers?

Clean them by hand using a soft brush or damp cloth with mild soap and cold water. Allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or loose

Adjust the lacing system. Ensure you are using the correct size. If persistent, consider if the lacing technique needs modification for your foot shape.

Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time

Cushioning naturally degrades with mileage. Consider replacing your shoes after approximately 300-500 miles (500-800 km) of use.

Soles showing excessive wear

This can indicate your gait or that you are running on abrasive surfaces. Ensure the shoes are used primarily for road running as intended.

Discomfort or blisters during runs

Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks. Check for any friction points and adjust lacing. Break in the shoes gradually if they are new.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional all-day comfort for various activities.
  • Smooth transitions from heel to toe.
  • Breathable and accommodating upper fit.
  • Durable construction for long-term use.
  • Reliable traction on road surfaces.

Cons

  • May lack aggressive responsiveness for speedwork.
  • Not designed for highly technical trail running.
  • Neutral support may not suffice for severe overpronation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Brooks Ghost 18 is ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for a comfortable fit. For optimal fit, wear them with your preferred running socks.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for road running. They are compatible with most GPS running watches and fitness trackers for performance monitoring.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to remove loose dirt from the upper and midsole. For deeper cleaning, hand wash with mild soap and cold water. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can damage the shoe's materials and structure.
  2. Drying: Always air dry your shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape during the drying process.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.
