FAQs
Is the Brooks Ghost 18 a stability shoe?
No, the Ghost 18 is a neutral trainer, meaning it does not feature extra mechanical support for overpronation.
Can I use these for trail running?
These shoes are designed for road running. While they may perform on smooth, hard-packed dirt, the outsole is not designed for technical, uneven trail terrain.
What is the weight of the shoe?
The shoe weighs approximately 289.2 grams.
How long should these shoes last?
Generally, running shoes like the Ghost 18 should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running style and surface conditions.
What is the heel-to-toe drop?
The Brooks Ghost 18 has a 10 mm heel-to-toe drop.
Can I remove the insole to use custom orthotics?
Yes, the internal footbed is removable, making it compatible with most standard aftermarket orthotics.
Troubleshooting
Foot feels tight or pressured during long runs
Try adjusting the lacing pattern to a 'window' or 'gap' lacing technique to relieve pressure on the top of the foot.
Visible wear on the outsole after a short period
Ensure you are using the shoes primarily on road surfaces; high-friction synthetic track surfaces or gravel can accelerate wear.
Increased sweating or moisture accumulation
Ensure your socks are made of moisture-wicking synthetic materials; avoid cotton socks which trap moisture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Brooks Ghost 18, follow these guidelines:
- Fit: Ensure you have a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to allow for foot swelling during exercise.
- Break-in: While these shoes feel comfortable out of the box, perform short walks or light jogs for the first few outings to allow the materials to settle.
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush after runs. Use a damp cloth with mild soap for surface cleaning. Never machine wash or machine dry, as high heat can degrade the cushioning foam.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the upper mesh to fade or the adhesives to weaken over time.
