Product Information
Full details
The Brooks Ghost 18 trainers are designed for adult runners who prioritize long-lasting comfort and reliable cushioning during their daily workouts. These trainers excel at providing a smooth ride through advanced midsole technology and a breathable upper, though runners seeking a highly specialized racing shoe may find them better suited for training than competitive speed trials. They offer an ergonomic fit that adapts to the foot's natural movement, supported by a durable outsole that performs well across multiple road and path surfaces.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for flat feet?
The ergonomic design of the Ghost 18 adapts well to many foot shapes, though it is a neutral trainer. If you require specific arch support, consider using a custom insole.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the structural integrity of the foam and the mesh materials. Always clean by hand.
How long should a pair of Ghost 18s last?
Typically, these trainers perform best for 300-500 miles, depending on your running surface and body weight.
Are the laces replaceable?
Yes, you can easily replace the standard laces with any performance running lace if you prefer a different length or tension.
Does the Ghost 18 come in different widths?
Brooks often offers various width options for the Ghost series; check your specific MPN code to confirm the width profile of your model.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure or discomfort on the top of the foot
Try the 'window lacing' technique to relieve pressure on the midfoot area.
Heel slipping while running
Use the extra eyelet at the top of the lacing system to create a 'runner's loop' or heel lock for a more secure fit.
Outsole collecting small debris
Use a small, stiff brush to clear out the tread patterns after running on trails or loose gravel to maintain optimal traction.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High level of underfoot cushioning
- Breathable material keeps feet cool
- Versatile traction suitable for various terrains
- Adaptable ergonomic shape for diverse foot types
- Reliable construction for daily training durability
Cons
- Not intended for high-speed track racing

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience, start by wearing your Ghost 18s with technical running socks to maximize the benefits of the breathable upper. The lace-up system should be adjusted to be snug across the midfoot without being overtightened, ensuring blood flow and comfort remain consistent.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe away dirt with a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents.
- Drying: Air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can degrade the midsole foam and adhesive.
- Rotation: If you run daily, consider rotating with another pair of shoes to allow the foam cushioning to recover its shape fully between uses.
