Product Information
Full details
The Brooks Ghost Trail trainers are designed for adult female runners who need a versatile shoe capable of transitioning seamlessly from urban road running to off-road trail adventures. Featuring advanced cushioning technology, these trainers provide exceptional comfort and responsiveness; however, users should note that while they handle debris well, they are specialized for moderate trail use rather than extreme technical mountaineering.

FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Brooks Ghost Trail features a protective mudguard for debris and splash protection, but they are not fully waterproof or GORE-TEX lined.
Can I use these for road running?
Yes, the DNA LOFT v3 midsole is designed to be comfortable and responsive on road surfaces as well as light trails.
How do I know if the UK 6 fits correctly?
You should have approximately a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to allow for foot swelling during runs.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the internal insoles are removable, which is helpful if you need to insert your own custom orthotics.
How often should I replace these trail runners?
Typically, trail running shoes should be replaced every 300-500 miles, depending on the intensity of the trails and your running style.
Do these shoes offer arch support?
The Ghost series is designed as a neutral shoe, providing balanced support suitable for most arch types.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pebbles or debris inside the shoe
Ensure the laces are tightened adequately across the instep and consider pairing with gaiters if running in high-debris environments.
Slipping on very slick, mossy rocks
While the TrailTack rubber is highly efficient, exercise caution on moss-covered or non-porous surfaces as no rubber compound guarantees 100% grip in those specific conditions.
Foam feels 'dead' or less responsive after long use
Rotate your running shoes to allow the foam to fully decompress for 24-48 hours between runs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Brooks Ghost Trail trainers, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in Period: Wear them for short walks or light runs before committing to long-distance trail sessions to allow the nitrogen-infused foam to adapt to your stride.
- Cleaning: Hand wash only using a soft brush, mild soap, and warm water. Avoid using a washing machine or dryer, as the heat can compromise the integrity of the foam and the mesh adhesive.
- Air Drying: Remove the insoles and allow the shoes to air dry away from direct sunlight or heat sources (like radiators) to prevent material warping.
- Surface Care: After muddy runs, use a damp cloth to wipe down the mudguard and outsole to prevent grime buildup in the multi-directional lugs.
