Product Information
Full details
The Brooks Ghost 18 is a premier neutral road running shoe designed for runners and walkers seeking a soft, dependable, and consistent ride for daily mileage. Featuring the advanced DNA LOFT v3 cushioning, it offers excellent shock absorption and a smooth heel-to-toe transition; however, its specialized design for neutral foot strikes may not provide the stability required for severe overpronation.

FAQs
Is the Ghost 18 suitable for trail running?
The Ghost 18 is specifically designed as a road running shoe. While it can handle light gravel paths, it lacks the protective features and aggressive lug patterns required for technical trails.
How often should I replace these shoes?
Generally, running shoes like the Ghost 18 should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and individual gait.
Are these shoes water-resistant?
No, the engineered mesh is designed for maximum breathability rather than water resistance. They will get wet if used in heavy rain.
Does this model accommodate orthotics?
Yes, the provided sockliner is removable, allowing you to insert custom-molded orthotics if needed.
Is the Ghost 18 a stability shoe?
No, it is categorized as a neutral trainer. If you require significant arch support or stability for overpronation, consider a dedicated stability series.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure on the top of the foot
Loosen the laces in the midfoot area or try a different lacing pattern to reduce vertical tension.
Outsole debris accumulation
Use a small pick or bristle brush to clear stones or mud from the tread patterns to maintain optimal grip.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Consistent and reliable neutral ride
- Soft, nitrogen-infused cushioning for high impact absorption
- Highly breathable engineered mesh upper
- Durable outsole material

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Brooks Ghost 18 trainers:
- Lacing: Use the eyelets to customize your lockdown; the adaptive mesh is designed to work with various lacing techniques.
- Compatibility: Best paired with standard neutral running socks to maximize the benefits of the internal lining.
- Care: Clean the shoes by removing loose dirt with a soft brush. Hand wash with mild soap and cold water if necessary. Never put your running shoes in a washing machine or dryer, as high heat can damage the nitrogen-infused foam and adhesive bonds.
