Full details
The Brooks Ghost 18 is a premier neutral trainer designed for adult road runners and walkers seeking a perfect blend of soft cushioning and reliable stability for their daily miles. By incorporating nitrogen-infused DNA LOFT v3 foam and a durable RoadTack outsole, this shoe provides an exceptionally smooth ride, though its specialized focus on neutral foot mechanics means it may not be suitable for those requiring significant motion-control support.

FAQs
Is the Brooks Ghost 18 good for marathons?
Yes, its combination of soft DNA LOFT v3 cushioning and durability makes it an excellent choice for daily training and long-distance road events.
Can I use these for trail running?
These shoes are designed specifically for road running and may lack the necessary protection and deep lugs required for technical trail terrain.
How often should I replace my Ghost 18s?
Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running style, weight, and the surfaces you frequent.
Are these shoes stable for flat feet?
The Ghost 18 is a neutral shoe. If you have flat feet and require significant arch support or motion control, you may want to consult a podiatrist for insoles or consider a dedicated stability model.
What is the heel-to-toe drop?
The Ghost 18 features a 10mm drop, providing a traditional feel that aids in smooth heel-to-toe transitions.
Troubleshooting
Foot slipping inside the shoe
Try the 'runner's loop' or 'lock lacing' technique to secure the heel more firmly.
Foam feeling firm in cold weather
This is normal for many foams; allow the shoe to reach room temperature before your run to regain maximum softness.
Outsole collecting debris
Use a soft brush to remove small stones or debris trapped in the outsole tread to maintain traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance, ensure you are wearing the correct size; the Ghost 18 runs true to standard UK athletic sizing. When setting up for your first run, ensure the laces are snug but not tight enough to constrict blood flow across the top of the foot. Compatibility is best with flat to moderate road surfaces. For care, avoid machine washing or drying, which can degrade the foam integrity and glue bonds. Instead, remove surface dirt with a soft brush and clean the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally in a cool place away from direct sunlight or artificial heat sources.
