Product Information
Full details
The Brooks Ghost 18 is a high-performance, neutral road running shoe designed for adult male runners seeking a reliable, daily training companion. It excels by providing a perfect balance of soft, nitrogen-infused cushioning and a stable, responsive ride suitable for both casual walking and high-mileage runs; however, runners who require significant stability support for overpronation may find its neutral design less suitable for their specific gait needs.

FAQs
Is the Brooks Ghost 18 suitable for flat feet?
The Ghost 18 is a neutral shoe. If you have flat feet and require significant arch support or stability, you may want to consult with a professional to see if this fits your biomechanical needs.
Can I use these for trail running?
These are optimized for road surfaces. The outsole is not designed for the grip needed for loose rock or technical trail terrain.
How long should these shoes last?
Typically, running shoes last between 300 to 500 miles depending on your weight, running style, and the surfaces you run on.
Does the Ghost 18 come in different widths?
Brooks often produces various widths, but please check specific stock availability for your local region.
What is the heel-to-toe drop?
The Ghost 18 features a 10mm drop.
Troubleshooting
Sensation of heel slippage
Try using the 'runner's loop' or heel-lock lacing technique to secure the ankle collar more firmly.
Visible dirt accumulation on the white upper
Spot clean with a dedicated sneaker cleaner or mild soap and a soft cloth immediately after running to prevent stains from setting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Brooks Ghost 18 trainers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Sizing: Ensure a thumbnail-width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe.
- Breaking-In: While comfortable out of the box, give them a few short runs to allow the foam to compress and adapt to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: To maintain the white aesthetic, use a soft-bristled brush, warm water, and mild soap. Never put trainers in a washing machine, as this can degrade the foam and glue integrity.
- Drying: Air dry only. Remove the insoles and stuff the shoes with newspaper to absorb moisture, keeping them away from direct heat sources like radiators.
