The Ghost 18 is a neutral shoe and does not contain extra support features for overpronation. If you require stability, you may want to look at Brooks models with 'GTS' or 'GuideRails' technology.

No, it is not recommended to machine wash your running shoes as it can damage the cushioning materials and adhesives. Use a damp cloth and mild soap instead.

The Ghost 18 uses DNA LOFT v3, which is nitrogen-infused for a lighter, softer, and more durable cushioning experience compared to previous iterations.

Most users find the Ghost 18 to be true to size, though the engineered mesh allows for a bit more flexibility in the toe box compared to stiffer predecessors.

Typically, road running shoes like the Ghost 18 should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface, weight, and running style.

These are road running shoes. While they can handle light gravel paths, they lack the aggressive lugs and protection needed for technical trail running.

Try using the 'runner's loop' or heel-lock lacing technique with the top eyelet to secure the fit around your ankle.

Ensure the lace-through loop located on the center of the tongue is threaded correctly to keep it centered across the bridge of your foot.

Check your running gait; excessive wear on specific areas may indicate an underlying biomechanical issue that requires a professional gait analysis.
