FAQs

Are the Brooks Ghost 18 suitable for marathon running?

Yes, the Ghost 18 is suitable for marathon running due to its comfortable, cushioned, and reliable ride, especially for neutral runners. They are designed for daily training and logging significant mileage.

What is the difference between the Ghost 18 and previous models?

The Ghost 18 features an updated engineered mesh upper for improved fit and breathability, a refreshed outsole for durability and traction, and continues to use the nitrogen-infused DNA LOFT v3 cushioning for a soft and responsive feel.

Can I use these shoes for trail running?

These are specifically designed as road running shoes. The RoadTack rubber outsole provides traction on pavement, but it is not optimized for the varied and technical terrain of trail running.

How do I know if the 'slightly snug' fit is right for me?

A slightly snug fit ensures the foot is held securely without excessive movement, which is beneficial for running efficiency. If you prefer a very loose feel, consider if this shoe is the best match for your preference.

Is the RoadTack rubber outsole environmentally friendly?

Yes, the RoadTack rubber outsole is made using recycled silica, contributing to a more sustainable manufacturing process compared to traditional outsole materials.

How often should I replace my Brooks Ghost 18 trainers?

Typically, running shoes should be replaced every 300-500 miles (480-800 km), or when you notice a significant decrease in cushioning or signs of wear on the outsole and upper.

Are these shoes waterproof?

No, the Ghost 18 trainers are not waterproof. They are designed with breathable mesh for ventilation, which means they will allow water ingress if exposed to significant moisture.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or restrictive.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. The engineered mesh upper is designed for a secure fit, which can feel snug initially. Try wearing them with thinner socks or re-lacing them to allow more room around the forefoot.

Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time.

The DNA LOFT v3 cushioning is designed for durability, but like all cushioning, it will compress with extensive use. Clean the shoes according to care instructions and ensure no debris is lodged in the outsole grooves, which can affect feel.

Slipping on wet surfaces.

While the RoadTack rubber outsole offers good grip, any rubber compound may have reduced traction on very wet or slick surfaces. Exercise caution in such conditions.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Delivers a consistently soft and smooth ride.
  • Improved upper design enhances breathability and fit.
  • Responsive cushioning absorbs impact effectively.
  • Durable outsole provides reliable traction on roads.
  • Comfortable for a variety of activities beyond running.

Cons

  • The fit is described as slightly snug.
  • May not be suitable for runners needing significant stability.
  • Outsole material, while sustainable, may wear faster than traditional rubber on varied terrain.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Brooks Ghost 18 trainers are ready to wear right out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size, which is generally true to size; consult a sizing chart if unsure. They are designed for immediate use without any break-in period required.

Compatibility: These are road running shoes, optimized for pavement and other hard, relatively smooth surfaces. They are compatible with most standard athletic socks.

Care: To maintain the shoes' performance and longevity:

  1. Cleaning: Spot clean with a mild detergent and cold water. Use a soft brush or cloth to remove dirt. Avoid machine washing or using harsh chemicals, as this can damage the materials.
  2. Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources. Stuffing them with paper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape during drying.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
