Product Information

Full details

The Brooks Ghost 18 trainers are designed for adult males seeking a soft, smooth, and dependable neutral road running shoe for daily training, easy miles, walking, and general fitness. Its key benefit lies in the nitrogen-infused DNA LOFT v3 cushioning, which provides excellent shock absorption and a natural feel. A potential caveat is that while accommodating, the fit is described as slightly snug, so true-to-size fit is recommended.

FAQs

What is the main difference between the Ghost 18 and previous versions?

The Ghost 18 features an updated engineered mesh upper for improved fit and breathability, and a refreshed outsole. The core DNA LOFT v3 cushioning remains for its signature soft and smooth ride.

Is the Brooks Ghost 18 suitable for marathon training?

Yes, the Ghost 18 is excellent for marathon training due to its soft and protective cushioning, which helps reduce fatigue over long distances. Its neutral support is suitable for runners with a neutral gait.

Can I use these shoes for trail running?

The Ghost 18 is primarily designed for road running. While it has durable grip, it lacks the aggressive tread and protective features typically needed for challenging trail terrain.

How do I know if the fit is right?

The shoe should feel secure but not constricting. There should be about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. The heel should feel locked in without slipping, and the midfoot should feel comfortably cradled.

Are these shoes vegan-friendly?

Yes, the Brooks Ghost 18 construction is vegan-friendly, meaning no animal-derived materials are used in its production.

What is the weight of the shoe?

The Brooks Ghost 18 weighs approximately 286 grams (based on a men's size).

What is the heel-to-toe drop?

The heel-to-toe drop for the Ghost 18 is 10mm.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight or restrictive.

Ensure laces are not tied too tightly. Try lacing techniques that offer more volume or less pressure across the midfoot. If the shoe is consistently too small, consider trying a half-size up.

Reduced cushioning or responsiveness after significant use.

Running shoes have a lifespan. The DNA LOFT v3 cushioning will naturally degrade over many miles. Consider replacing the shoes after approximately 300-500 miles of running, or when you notice a significant loss in comfort and support.

Poor traction on wet surfaces.

The RoadTack rubber outsole is designed for durability and grip. On very wet or slick surfaces, slow down and take care. Ensure the outsole is clean of debris, which can also affect grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

The Brooks Ghost 18 is ready to wear straight out of the box; no specific setup is required. As a neutral road running shoe, it is compatible with most running surfaces, particularly roads and paved paths.

Care Instructions:

Cleaning: To clean, use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt. For interior cleaning, remove the sockliner and hand wash with mild soap and cold water. Allow both to air dry completely away from direct heat.
Drying: Never place shoes in a washing machine or dryer. Always air dry.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Rotation: For longevity, consider rotating your running shoes with another pair, allowing them to dry out and recover their cushioning between runs.
