Product Information
Full details
The Brooks Ghost 18 is designed for neutral runners and walkers seeking a reliable, cushioned, and versatile shoe for daily miles. It features the nitrogen-infused DNA LOFT v3 midsole to ensure soft landings and smooth transitions, making it an excellent choice for both training and everyday wear. While it excels at providing consistent comfort across various foot shapes, those requiring significant stability for overpronation may find the neutral support profile insufficient for their specific needs.

FAQs
Is the Brooks Ghost 18 a stability shoe?
No, the Ghost 18 is a neutral running shoe designed for runners who do not require specific stability or motion control features.
Can I put my Ghost 18 trainers in the washing machine?
It is recommended to hand wash your trainers. Machine washing can damage the materials and the structural integrity of the cushioning foam.
What is the primary difference between the Ghost 18 and previous models?
The Ghost 18 features a refined engineered mesh upper for better adaptability and an updated RoadTack outsole for improved durability.
How many miles should I expect from these trainers?
Typically, road running shoes last between 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running style, weight, and the surfaces you frequent.
Is the OrthoLite sockliner removable?
Yes, the sockliner can be removed if you need to insert your own custom orthotics or medical insoles.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure on top of the foot
Try adjusting the lacing pattern to a 'window lacing' or 'parallel' style to alleviate pressure under the flat-knit tongue.
Outsole losing grip on wet surfaces
Check the outsole for debris or grit trapped in the grooves; clean with a brush to restore the rubber's contact surface.
Foot slipping inside the shoe
Ensure the heel lock lacing technique is applied through the top eyelet to secure the heel in place.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Brooks Ghost 18, follow these guidelines:
- Fit Check: Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to accommodate natural foot swelling during exercise.
- Break-in Period: While these are comfortable out of the box, perform a few short walks before committing to long-distance runs to allow the foam to conform to your foot.
- Cleaning: Hand wash your trainers using mild soap, warm water, and a soft brush. Remove the sockliner to clean separately.
- Drying: Air dry only. Do not place shoes in a dryer or near direct heat sources like radiators, as high heat can damage the foam and adhesives.
