Product Information
Full details
The Brooks Ghost 18 is a premier daily training trainer designed for adult female runners and walkers who prioritize consistent cushioning and a smooth, reliable ride. Featuring an updated engineered mesh upper and RoadTack rubber outsole, this shoe excels at everyday road running and walking; however, those seeking a lightweight racing-specific shoe may find the added stability and cushioning slightly bulkier than specialized competitive models.

FAQs
Is the Brooks Ghost 18 suitable for flat feet?
The Ghost 18 provides neutral, inherent stability which is suitable for many foot types, though individual needs vary; consult a professional gait analysis if you require specific arch support.
Can I use these for trail running?
While durable, the Ghost 18 is optimized for road running and hard surfaces. Traction may be insufficient on loose or technical trail terrain.
How long should a pair last?
Generally, running shoes like the Ghost 18 remain effective for 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and body weight.
Does the mesh upper stretch out over time?
The engineered mesh is designed to be adaptable but durable; it should maintain its form well, though minimal loosening is normal after significant wear.
Are these shoes machine washable?
No. Machine washing can compromise the structural integrity of the foam and adhesives. Always use hand-cleaning methods.
Troubleshooting
Hot spots or friction during runs
Adjust the lace tension to be slightly looser across the midfoot and ensure the tongue is centered.
Reduced traction on slippery surfaces
Check the outsole for embedded pebbles or grit, and clean the RoadTack rubber with a damp brush.
Midsole feeling less responsive after many miles
Foam cushioning has a natural lifespan; consider rotating with a second pair to allow the midsole material to decompress fully between sessions.
Pros and Cons
Pros

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Brooks Ghost 18 performs optimally, ensure you have the correct size fit; for UK sizing, always allow for a thumb-width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Remove surface dirt with a soft brush and clean with mild soap and a damp cloth. Do not submerge the shoes in water.
- Drying: Air dry only in a well-ventilated area. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators, as these can warp the midsole foam.
- Maintenance: Periodically check the outsole for embedded debris to maintain the integrity of the traction patterns.
