FAQs
Is the Ghost 18 a stability shoe?
No, the Ghost 18 is classified as a neutral running shoe designed for runners who do not require specific pronation control.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, it is recommended to clean them manually with a damp cloth and mild soap to prevent damage to the upper and cushioning materials.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The engineered mesh upper is designed to be highly adaptive to various foot shapes, though fit remains a personal preference.
How long should I expect these shoes to last?
Generally, running shoes like the Ghost 18 are expected to provide optimal cushioning for 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and gait.
Can I use these for trail running?
The Ghost 18 is designed specifically for road surfaces. For trails, Brooks offers specialized models with deeper lugs and more robust uppers.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure on top of the foot
Adjust the laces to a looser tension or try a different lacing technique, such as the window lacing method, to alleviate pressure on the bridge.
Slipping at the heel during runs
Use the extra eyelet at the top of the shoe to create a runner's loop (heel lock), which secures the ankle more firmly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Brooks Ghost 18 trainers remain in peak condition, follow these guidelines:
- Fit Check: Ensure your toes have about a thumb's width of space to allow for natural foot swelling during runs.
- Lacing: Use the flat-knit tongue to distribute pressure evenly across the top of your foot; avoid overtightening to maintain circulation.
- Cleaning: Wipe down the engineered mesh with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can break down the integrity of the foam cushioning.
- Rotation: If running daily, consider rotating with another pair of shoes to allow the foam to decompress fully between sessions, which extends the life of the cushioning.
