Product Information

Full details

The Brooks Ghost 18 is designed for neutral road runners seeking a reliable, soft, and smooth daily trainer that excels in versatility and comfort. It leverages nitrogen-infused DNA LOFT v3 cushioning to provide superior shock absorption and a seamless heel-to-toe transition, making it an excellent choice for both casual joggers and high-mileage road runners. While the shoe offers exceptional step-in comfort and a secure fit for most foot shapes, runners requiring specialized stability features for severe overpronation may find the neutral platform less supportive than dedicated stability models.

FAQs

Is the Brooks Ghost 18 a stability shoe?

No, the Ghost 18 is a neutral running shoe designed for runners who do not require extra arch support or medial posting.

Can I use these for gym workouts?

While excellent for running and light cardio, the high stack height is better suited for forward-motion activities rather than heavy lateral-motion gym work.

What is the drop of the Ghost 18?

The Ghost 18 maintains the classic Ghost feel with a standard 12mm heel-to-toe drop.

How long should these shoes last?

Typically, you can expect between 300 to 500 miles depending on your running surface and personal gait.

Are the laces replaceable?

Yes, you can easily replace the provided laces with any standard athletic shoelaces if you prefer a different length or type.

Is the upper waterproof?

No, the engineered mesh is designed for maximum breathability and will allow water to pass through if you step in a puddle.

Troubleshooting

Feeling pressure on the top of the foot

Try adjusting the lacing technique to a 'window lacing' style to relieve pressure while maintaining a secure hold.

Reduced grip on wet surfaces

Clean the outsole with a damp cloth to remove grit and debris that may be obstructing the rubber's contact with the ground.

Rapid foam compression

Ensure you are rotating your shoes to allow the foam to decompress for 24 hours between long runs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best performance from your Brooks Ghost 18, follow these guidelines:

  1. Sizing: These shoes are true to size; ensure you have about a thumb's width of space at the front of the toe box.
  2. Break-in: While comfortable out of the box, perform a few short walks or light jogs to allow the foam to adapt to your specific foot pressure.
  3. Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush after runs. Use a damp cloth with mild soap for localized cleaning. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using a washing machine, as high heat and heavy agitation can damage the foam and adhesives.
  4. Air Dry: Always air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the materials.
