Can I remove the insoles to use my own orthotics?

Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure on the top of the foot
Try adjusting your lacing style to a 'window lacing' pattern to relieve tension across the bridge.
Slipping at the heel during walking or running
Use the extra eyelet at the top of the shoe to perform a runner's loop, which secures the heel more firmly.
Outsole losing grip on wet surfaces
Check the tread for debris or small stones wedged in the rubber; clean the outsole to restore surface contact.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Brooks Ghost 18 trainers remain in top condition, follow these care and setup guidelines:
- Fit Check: Ensure you have a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to prevent discomfort during swelling on long runs.
- Cleaning: Hand wash your shoes using a mild soap, warm water, and a soft-bristled brush. Remove the OrthoLite sockliner to wash separately if needed.
- Drying: Air dry only. Avoid placing the shoes near heaters or in the dryer, as extreme heat can warp the cushioning foam and damage the mesh fibers.
- Rotation: If you run every day, consider rotating between two pairs of shoes to allow the foam compression to fully recover between uses, which extends the lifespan of the midsole.
