FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon training?
Yes, the Ghost 18 is designed as a high-mileage neutral trainer capable of handling the demands of marathon training.
Can I use these for trail running?
These are designed for road use; while they may handle light, groomed paths, they lack the aggressive lugs needed for technical trails.
How do I know if I need a neutral shoe?
Neutral shoes are ideal for runners who do not experience excessive inward rolling of the foot (overpronation).
Are the sockliners removable?
Yes, the OrthoLite sockliners can be removed if you need to insert custom orthotics.
How often should I replace the Ghost 18?
Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300-500 miles, depending on your running surface and weight.
Troubleshooting
Foot discomfort or pressure on the top of the foot
Adjust the lacing system; try a different lacing pattern to reduce tension across the flat-knit tongue.
Slipping inside the shoe during runs
Ensure the shoes are tied securely and consider using the extra eyelet for a 'runner's loop' to lock the heel in place.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Extremely smooth heel-to-toe transition
- Soft, nitrogen-infused cushioning for high comfort
- Adaptable fit suitable for various foot shapes
- Durable outsole performance on road surfaces
Cons
- Best suited for road use, not rugged trails
- Not a dedicated high-speed racing shoe
- Neutral support may not suit severe overpronators
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience, wear the shoes with moisture-wicking running socks to prevent blisters and manage sweat. The neutral design is highly versatile and fits most standard foot types. When cleaning, avoid the washing machine or tumble dryer, as these can break down the adhesives and cushion integrity. Instead, gently remove mud and debris with a soft-bristled brush. If the shoes become soaked, remove the sockliner and stuff them with newspaper to air-dry naturally in a cool, shaded area away from direct heat sources.
