They offer exceptional comfort for daily training, easy miles, walking, and general fitness, with a key benefit of advanced cushioning and a secure, breathable fit.

FAQs

Are the Brooks Ghost 18 suitable for marathon running?

Yes, the ample cushioning and smooth ride make the Ghost 18 well-suited for marathon distances, particularly for runners prioritizing comfort and support on long runs.

What is the difference between the Ghost 18 and previous versions?

The Ghost 18 features an updated engineered mesh upper for improved fit and breathability, and a refreshed outsole for durable traction, while maintaining the core DNA LOFT v3 cushioning.

Can I wear these shoes for walking?

Absolutely. The soft cushioning and comfortable fit make them an excellent choice for everyday walking and general fitness activities.

Are these shoes waterproof?

No, the Brooks Ghost 18 are not waterproof. They are designed with breathable mesh uppers, which means they are not intended for wet conditions and will not keep your feet dry in rain or puddles.

How do I know if I need a neutral shoe?

Neutral shoes are for runners whose feet land on the outside or middle of the foot and don't roll inward excessively (pronate). If you have a neutral arch and gait, this shoe should be suitable.

What does 'offset' mean in the tech details?

The offset (or heel-to-toe drop) is the difference in height between the heel and the forefoot of the shoe. A 10mm offset means the heel is 10mm higher than the forefoot, which is a common measurement for many running shoes.

Are the materials used sustainable?

The Ghost 18 outsole is made using recycled silica, contributing to a more sustainable manufacturing process. The construction is also vegan-friendly.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or restrictive

Loosen the laces, especially around the midfoot. Ensure you are using the correct lacing technique for your foot shape. If the issue persists, consider if this is the right size or model for your foot.

Discomfort on the top of the foot

The flat-knit tongue is designed to reduce pressure. Ensure laces are not overtightened across the instep. If a lace causes irritation, adjust its position.

Reduced grip on wet surfaces

While the RoadTack outsole provides good grip, extreme wet conditions can challenge any outsole. Ensure the outsole is clean of debris. For very slick surfaces, reduce speed and stride length.

Cushioning feels too soft for faster runs

The Ghost 18 is designed for comfort and softer landings. For faster-paced workouts or races, consider a more responsive or firmer shoe model.

Exceptional comfort for daily runs and walking.

Cons

The specific 'Black/Pink' colorway and other available options may vary in stock.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Brooks Ghost 18 requires no specific setup. Simply lace them up and go. Ensure they fit snugly but comfortably before your first run.

Compatibility: These are neutral road running shoes, best suited for road surfaces, treadmills, and light trails. They are designed for adult runners and are ideal for those with a neutral gait or who use custom orthotics.

Care:

Cleaning: Use a damp cloth or a soft brush to remove dirt from the upper and outsole. Avoid machine washing, as it can damage the shoe's structure and materials.
Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures for extended periods.
