FAQs
Can I use these for road running?
Yes, they are designed as a hybrid and perform very well on roads, though they are optimized for off-road durability.
Are these waterproof?
They are not waterproof, but the mesh is designed to be breathable and the mudguard helps shed moisture.
How often should I replace these?
It is generally recommended to replace running shoes every 300-500 miles, depending on the intensity of your terrain.
Are they suitable for high-arched feet?
The shoe provides neutral support, which is generally accommodating for many foot shapes, though orthotics can be added for specific needs.
How do I clean the mesh upper?
Use a soft brush and warm water with mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the fabric.
Troubleshooting
Feeling instability on uneven ground
Ensure the laces are tightened using the eyelets properly to lock the heel in place, preventing interior movement.
Accumulation of debris inside the shoe
Check the fit of the padded collar; using a gaiter can prevent trail debris from entering during technical runs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance from your Brooks Ghost Trail Trainers, ensure your lacing is snug but not tight over the bridge of the foot to allow for natural swelling during runs. These shoes are compatible with standard running orthotics if extra arch support is needed. For care, avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can degrade the foam integrity. Instead, remove the insole and allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. If they become heavily muddied, wait for the mud to dry, brush it off with a soft-bristle brush, and use a damp cloth to wipe the mesh upper.
