Product Information
Full details
The Brooks Ghost 18 is a premier neutral road running shoe designed for adult runners and walkers who prioritize consistent comfort and a smooth, reliable ride. Featuring nitrogen-infused DNA LOFT v3 cushioning, it provides exceptional shock absorption for daily mileage or casual wear, though its neutral design may not provide the targeted arch support required by those with severe overpronation. With its updated engineered mesh upper and durable RoadTack rubber outsole, this trainer balances modern breathability with long-lasting performance.

FAQs
Is the Brooks Ghost 18 suitable for flat feet?
The Ghost 18 is a neutral shoe. If you have flat feet but do not require corrective stability features, it is generally suitable, but consult a podiatrist for specific medical needs.
How long do these shoes typically last?
Most runners find that the cushioning and outsole remain effective for approximately 300 to 500 miles, depending on gait and surface.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended. Hand washing with mild soap is preferred to protect the foam technology and adhesive layers.
Does the Ghost 18 come in different widths?
Brooks offers various widths for many models; check local availability for your specific size requirements.
What is the primary surface intended for this shoe?
The Ghost 18 is designed as a road running shoe and performs best on hard, paved surfaces like asphalt or concrete.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure on the top of the foot
Loosen the laces across the midfoot and ensure the flat-knit tongue is lying perfectly flat before tightening.
Slippage in the heel area
Try the 'runner's loop' or heel-lock lacing method to secure the ankle more firmly.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent shock absorption for reduced impact on joints
- Breathable and adaptive upper fits a wide range of foot shapes
- Durable outsole material maintains grip over many miles

Cons
- Neutral platform may not suit runners needing significant stability control
- Primarily designed for road use, not ideal for technical trails
- Requires proper sizing check as fit may vary slightly from previous Ghost versions
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance from your Brooks Ghost 18 trainers, ensure the lacing system is adjusted to accommodate your specific foot volume without creating pressure points on the midfoot. For cleaning, remove mud or debris with a soft brush; if the shoes become heavily soiled, hand wash them with mild soap and cold water. Always air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can degrade the cushioning foam. To maintain the integrity of the OrthoLite sockliner, remove it periodically to allow it to dry out fully after intense use.
