FAQs
Is the Ghost 18 a stability shoe?
No, the Ghost 18 is a neutral road running shoe designed for runners who do not require extra arch support or stability features.
Can I use these for marathon training?
Yes, the Ghost 18 is built for high-mileage training and offers the comfort and durability needed for marathon preparation.
How do I clean my Brooks Ghost 18?
Hand wash with mild soap and cold water. Do not machine wash or dry, as this can damage the foam and adhesive materials.
Does the mesh upper stretch over time?
The engineered mesh is designed to adapt to your foot, but it maintains its structural integrity to ensure a secure fit throughout the life of the shoe.
What is the primary difference in the 18 model?
The Ghost 18 features updates to the upper and outsole, providing improved breathability, fit, and better durability compared to previous versions.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure on top of the foot
Adjust your lacing pattern to 'window lacing' to relieve tension across the bridge of the foot.
Premature wear on the outsole
Ensure you are using the shoes primarily on road surfaces and not on abrasive terrain like rocky trails.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance, ensure you have the correct fit; the engineered mesh upper should feel snug without creating hot spots. For care, keep the shoes away from extreme heat sources, such as radiators, which can degrade the midsole foam. If the trainers become wet, remove the OrthoLite sockliner and allow them to air dry naturally by stuffing them with paper towels. Periodically wipe the RoadTack rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove debris and maintain maximum grip performance.
