Product Information
Full details
The Brooks Ghost 18 is a premier neutral trainer designed for adult runners and walkers who prioritize consistent comfort and balanced support for daily training. Featuring the innovative nitrogen-infused DNA LOFT v3 cushioning, it provides a smooth, responsive ride on road surfaces, though its performance is specifically optimized for neutral gaits rather than those requiring high-level stability correction.

FAQs
Is the Brooks Ghost 18 a stability shoe?
No, the Ghost 18 is a neutral trainer designed for runners who do not require extra stability or motion control features.
Can I use these for marathon training?
Yes, the Ghost 18 is highly regarded as a daily trainer suitable for high-mileage runs, including marathon preparation.
What is the weight of the shoe?
The weight of the Ghost 18 is approximately 289.2 grams.
What is the heel-to-toe drop?
The shoe features a 10mm drop, which is standard for a smooth, natural transition.
Is this shoe suitable for trail running?
The Ghost 18 is designed specifically for road surfaces and may not provide the necessary grip or protection for technical trails.
How often should I replace my Ghost 18s?
General recommendation is to replace your running shoes every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running style and surface conditions.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of discomfort or pressure points during the first few runs
Ensure the laces are not tied too tightly across the bridge of the foot, and allow for a break-in period of 20-30 miles.
Slippage in the heel area
Try a runner's loop (also known as a heel lock) lacing technique to secure the ankle collar against your heel.
Outsole wearing down prematurely
Check your running surface; the RoadTack outsole is intended for roads, so avoid using them on abrasive or non-paved surfaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Brooks Ghost 18 lasts as long as possible, remove any debris like small stones or mud from the tread after each run. If the trainers become wet, air dry them naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can degrade the cushioning foam. For cleaning, use a soft-bristle brush, mild soap, and cold water; avoid machine washing or tumble drying. Ensure you have the correct size—this model features a 13.5 UK fit—to allow for natural foot swelling during exercise.
