FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for flat feet?
The Ghost series is a neutral trainer. If you require specific arch support, you may consider using custom orthotic inserts.
How often should I replace my Brooks Ghost 18?
Typically, these trainers provide optimal performance for 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running style and surface.
Can I use these for trail running?
While durable, these are designed as road trainers. They may lack the aggressive lug patterns required for technical trail grip.
What is the best way to clean the mesh?
Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry mud, followed by a light wipe with a damp, soapy cloth.
Does the sizing run true?
Brooks generally follows standard UK sizing conventions, but we recommend measuring your feet while wearing your running socks.
Are these trainers machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the adhesives and the integrity of the cushioning foam.
Troubleshooting
Heel slippage while running
Try the 'runner's loop' or 'lock lace' lacing technique to secure the ankle collar more firmly against your heel.
Upper material showing early fraying
Ensure you are using the correct size; if the shoe is too small, the toes may create excessive tension on the fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Brooks Ghost 18 trainers, proper maintenance is essential. Always untie your laces before removing the shoes to protect the heel counter from crushing. If the shoes become wet, air-dry them naturally at room temperature, keeping them away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can deform the foam. For cleaning, remove loose dirt with a soft brush and wipe the mesh upper with a damp cloth and mild soap; do not submerge them in a washing machine.
