Full details
The Brooks Ghost 18 is a premier neutral road running shoe designed for adult male runners seeking a reliable, comfortable, and smooth experience for daily mileage, walking, or casual wear. Featuring nitrogen-infused DNA LOFT v3 cushioning, it delivers exceptional shock absorption and soft landings; however, its primary design focus is on stability and comfort for neutral strides rather than aggressive speed or trail performance.

FAQs
Are the Ghost 18 shoes suitable for wide feet?
The engineered mesh upper is designed to adapt to various foot shapes, though it is categorized as a standard fit for most adult male users.
Can I put the Brooks Ghost 18 in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the structural integrity and the nitrogen-infused cushioning. Hand cleaning is recommended.
What is the primary difference in the Ghost 18 compared to older versions?
The 18 features an updated engineered mesh upper and an improved RoadTack rubber outsole for better durability and breathability.
Is this shoe good for a marathon?
Yes, many runners find the Ghost series comfortable for long-distance efforts due to the consistent cushioning provided by the DNA LOFT v3.
Does the Ghost 18 come with an OrthoLite insole?
Yes, it includes an upgraded OrthoLite sockliner specifically intended to enhance step-in comfort.
Are these shoes vegan-friendly?
Brooks uses various materials; however, the Ghost 18 is made using a more considered approach to materials, including recycled silica in the outsole.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of pressure on the top of the foot
Adjust the lace tightness to accommodate the flat-knit tongue and ensure the eyelets are fully centered.
Outer sole shows uneven wear
Check your gait alignment at a local running store; if extreme, you may require a shoe with different stability features.
Shoe feels damp or retains odor
Remove the OrthoLite sockliner after runs and let both the shoe and insert air out completely in a well-ventilated area.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance from your Brooks Ghost 18, start by wearing them for short walks to allow the foam and mesh to contour to your foot shape.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe away surface dirt with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents.
- Drying: Air dry only in a cool, shaded area. Do not place near heaters or in direct sunlight, as high heat can degrade the cushioning properties of the foam.
- Replacement: Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on the intensity of your usage and the wear pattern of the RoadTack rubber outsole.
