FAQs
Is the Brooks Ghost 18 good for high arches?
Yes, the neutral cushioning of the Ghost 18 is generally well-suited for runners with high or neutral arches who do not require extra arch support.
Can I use these for trail running?
These shoes are optimized for road and paved surfaces. They may lack the underfoot protection and deep lug depth required for technical trail running.
How long should the cushioning last?
Typically, the cushioning in the Ghost 18 is designed to provide optimal support for 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running style and surface.
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the adhesive and the DNA LOFT foam. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth is recommended.
Is this a stability shoe?
No, the Ghost 18 is a neutral shoe, meaning it is designed for runners who do not experience excessive inward rolling (pronation) of the foot.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure on the top of the foot
Try adjusting the lacing pattern to a 'window lacing' or 'parallel lacing' style to relieve pressure while maintaining a secure hold.
Excessive debris inside the shoe
Ensure the flat-knit tongue is centered correctly and pulled slightly taut when tying your laces to create a better seal.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience with your Brooks Ghost 18, consider these usage tips:
- Sizing: These shoes are true to size; ensure you have about a thumb's width of space at the front of the toe box for natural foot swelling during exercise.
- Break-in: While they offer comfort out of the box, a few short walks or light runs will allow the foam to adapt to your unique stride.
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap. Avoid washing machines or dryers, as heat can compromise the foam cushioning.
- Storage: Keep your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent rubber and fabric degradation.
