Product Information
Full details
The Brooks Ghost 18 is a premier neutral daily trainer designed for adult runners who prioritize consistent comfort and reliable support for road running. Featuring advanced nitrogen-infused DNA LOFT v3 cushioning, this shoe delivers a plush yet responsive ride that accommodates both casual walkers and dedicated long-distance trainees, though its specialized focus on neutral road performance may not satisfy runners who require heavy overpronation stability control.

FAQs
Is the Brooks Ghost 18 suitable for flat feet?
The Ghost 18 is a neutral shoe. If you have flat feet and require significant stability or orthotic intervention, consult with a professional to see if a neutral shoe matches your biomechanical needs.
Can I use these for trail running?
These shoes are specifically designed for road and paved surfaces. They lack the aggressive lugs and protective rock plates required for technical trail terrain.
What is the weight of the Ghost 18?
The shoe weighs approximately 289.2 grams.
How do I know if I need a neutral shoe?
Neutral shoes are designed for runners who do not pronate excessively (rolling inward) or supinate excessively (rolling outward). A gait analysis at a running store is the best way to determine your shoe type.
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the structural integrity and cushioning properties of the foam. Always clean them by hand.
Troubleshooting
Foot slipping inside the shoe
Try the 'runner's loop' lacing technique to create a more secure heel lock.
Foam feeling compressed after a short period
Ensure you are giving the shoes at least 24 hours between runs to allow the midsole materials to recover.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Brooks Ghost 18 trainers, follow these guidelines:
- Breaking In: While comfortable out of the box, wear them for short walks before embarking on long runs to allow the foam to adapt to your foot.
- Cleaning: Hand wash only using warm water and a mild soap. Remove the insoles and wash them separately. Air dry in a cool, shaded area.
- Avoid Heat: Never place your shoes in a dryer or near a radiator, as excessive heat can break down the adhesives and degrade the nitrogen-infused foam properties.
- Rotation: To extend the life of the cushioning, rotate these with another pair of shoes to allow the foam cells time to decompress between runs.
