Product Information
Full details
The Brooks Ghost 18 is a premier neutral road running shoe designed for runners and walkers seeking a dependable, soft, and smooth ride for daily mileage or general comfort. Featuring advanced nitrogen-infused DNA LOFT v3 cushioning, it provides excellent shock absorption, though the neutral support profile may not be suitable for those requiring significant overpronation correction. This iteration improves upon the classic series with a refreshed engineered mesh upper and a sustainable, durable RoadTack rubber outsole.

FAQs
Is the Brooks Ghost 18 a stability shoe?
No, the Ghost 18 is a neutral road running shoe designed for runners who do not require extra arch support or overpronation correction.
Can I use these for trail running?
While the RoadTack rubber provides good grip, these are optimized for roads. They may lack the underfoot protection and aggressive lug pattern needed for technical trails.
Does the shoe require a break-in period?
Most users find the Ghost 18 comfortable immediately due to the OrthoLite sockliner and adaptable mesh, though individual comfort may vary.
How should I clean the mesh upper?
Use a soft brush to remove dry debris and wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Never submerge the shoes in water or use a washing machine.
What is the primary material in the midsole?
The midsole uses nitrogen-infused DNA LOFT v3 cushioning, designed for a balance of softness and energy return.
Are these shoes suitable for walking?
Yes, their soft cushioning and smooth transition make them an excellent choice for walking as well as running.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of slipping at the heel
Try a 'runner's loop' or 'lock lacing' technique to secure the heel cup more firmly against your ankle.
Foot discomfort or numbness
Loosen the laces across the midfoot to reduce pressure; the engineered mesh should provide enough hold without needing to be tied tightly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The Ghost 18 is ready to wear immediately out of the box with no specific technical setup required. To ensure maximum longevity and comfort, verify your size using the UK standard sizing provided for the specific MPN. Care instructions include:
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush and clean with a mild soap and a damp cloth; avoid machine washing or drying.
- Drying: Air dry only in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators to preserve the foam's integrity.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture buildup within the mesh.
- Rotation: If running daily, consider rotating with another pair to allow the cushioning foam to recover fully between uses.
