Product Information
Full details
The Brooks Ghost Trail is a versatile hybrid running shoe designed for adult women who want a seamless transition between road running and off-road trails. Its primary benefit is the nitrogen-infused DNA LOFT v3 midsole, which provides superior impact absorption and comfort, though users should note that as a hybrid, it may not offer the extreme technical grip required for highly technical mountain scrambling.

FAQs
Can I use these shoes for road running?
Yes, the Ghost Trail is designed as a hybrid shoe, making it perfectly suitable for road running as well as trail terrain.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The shoes feature a moisture-shedding mudguard, but they are not fully waterproof. They are designed to be breathable and will allow water to drain if submerged.
What is the primary difference between the Ghost Trail and a standard road shoe?
The primary differences are the inclusion of a protective 3D toe cap, a specialized high-traction TrailTack outsole, and a mudguard for durability.
How should I clean my shoes after a muddy trail run?
Rinse off excess mud with water and a soft brush. Wipe the upper with a damp cloth and allow them to air dry away from heat sources.
Does the DNA LOFT v3 cushioning feel soft or firm?
The nitrogen-infused DNA LOFT v3 is engineered to provide a balanced 'plush' feel that is soft upon impact but provides a responsive energy return.
Troubleshooting
Feeling debris inside the shoe during runs
Ensure your laces are tightened securely to keep the collar snug, and consider using gaiters if you are frequently running in loose sand or heavy grit.
Outsole losing traction in mud
Clean the mud from between the lugs using a soft brush. Thick mud build-up can cover the traction patterns, temporarily reducing grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Brooks Ghost Trail shoes, it is recommended to keep them clean by wiping away mud with a damp cloth after each trail use. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can damage the integrity of the foam cushioning and adhesives. If the shoes become soaked, remove the insoles and allow them to air dry at room temperature away from direct sunlight or heaters. For optimal performance, check the lugs on the outsole periodically to ensure they remain free of debris that could impact grip.
