Full details
The Brooks Ghost 18 is a premier neutral road running shoe designed for adult runners who prioritize a soft, smooth, and dependable ride. Whether you are logging daily miles, walking, or standing for long periods, its nitrogen-infused cushioning provides excellent shock absorption and comfort; however, those requiring high-level stability support for overpronation may find the neutral platform less suited to their specific biomechanical needs.

FAQs
Is the Brooks Ghost 18 good for flat feet?
The Ghost 18 is a neutral shoe. If you have flat feet but do not overpronate, they may be suitable, but those who require arch support should consult a specialist.
Can I use these for marathon training?
Yes, the Ghost 18 is designed as a reliable high-mileage trainer, making it a great candidate for marathon preparation.
How often should I replace my Ghost 18 trainers?
General industry standards suggest replacing running shoes every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and weight.
Are these waterproof?
No, the engineered mesh upper is designed for breathability and will allow water to pass through if exposed to heavy rain.
Does the sizing run true?
Brooks generally follows standard athletic sizing; the Ghost 18 has an adaptable fit that works well for most standard foot widths.
Troubleshooting
Foot feels slightly loose in the heel
Try the 'runner's loop' or 'heel lock' lacing technique using the top-most eyelet to secure the fit around your ankle.
Visible dirt or debris in the mesh
Once the shoe is dry, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dust from the knit upper to maintain breathability.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Ghost 18 trainers, proper maintenance is essential.
- Break-in: While comfortable out of the box, wear them for shorter periods during the first two days to let the upper conform to your foot.
- Cleaning: Hand wash using a soft brush, mild soap, and warm water. Never place running shoes in a washing machine or dryer as the heat can degrade the cushioning foam and adhesive.
- Drying: Air dry only. Remove the sockliner to speed up the drying process and keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators.
- Rotation: If running daily, consider rotating with a second pair to allow the foam to fully decompress between sessions, which extends the overall life of the midsole.
