Product Information
Full details
The Brooks Ghost 18 is designed for adult neutral runners seeking a dependable, daily training shoe that balances soft cushioning with a smooth, responsive ride. By leveraging a nitrogen-infused DNA LOFT v3 midsole and a breathable engineered mesh upper, these trainers provide excellent shock absorption and comfort for high-mileage road running. While the shoe excels in providing a consistent and durable experience, it is primarily optimized for neutral gaits, meaning those requiring significant pronation support may need a different model.

FAQs
Is the Ghost 18 good for high arch feet?
Yes, as a neutral trainer, the Ghost 18 is generally well-suited for runners with high arches who do not need extra medial support.
Can I use these for trail running?
While the RoadTack outsole provides good grip, these are optimized for paved, flat road surfaces and may lack the necessary protection for rocky, technical trails.
How long should these shoes last?
Typically, the midsole foam and outsole rubber provide optimal cushioning for 300 to 500 miles, depending on your weight, running surface, and intensity.
Does the mesh upper hold up to winter conditions?
The engineered mesh is designed for breathability. While it works well in most conditions, it is not waterproof, so your feet may get wet in heavy rain.
Are the sockliners removable?
Yes, the OrthoLite X-60 sockliner can be removed if you prefer to use your own custom orthotic inserts.
Troubleshooting
Upper feels too tight or constricting
Adjust the lacing pattern to 'runner's loop' or loosen the laces near the midfoot to allow for more volume.
Slipping at the heel while running
Use the extra eyelet at the top of the shoe to create a lockdown lacing knot to secure the heel cup.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Brooks Ghost 18 trainers, avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can compromise the foam integrity and glue bonds. Instead, remove the sockliner and clean the exterior with a soft brush and mild soap, then air dry away from direct sunlight. Ensure you have the correct size for your foot shape, as proper alignment is critical for the neutral cushioning system to perform as intended. If you use custom orthotics, the factory OrthoLite X-60 sockliner is removable to allow for a better fit.
