Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance, ensure you select your correct UK size, as the engineered mesh upper provides a structured fit that should not feel overly tight. If you wear custom orthotics, the internal space is sufficient to accommodate standard-thickness inserts by removing the provided sockliner. To care for your Ghost 18s, avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can damage the foam and adhesives. Instead, clean the upper with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. If the shoes become wet, remove the insoles and stuff the shoes with newspaper to air dry naturally away from direct sunlight or heat sources to maintain the integrity of the cushioning.
