Product Information

Full details

The Brooks Ghost 18 Trainers are designed for adult female runners seeking a soft, smooth, and reliable neutral road running experience for daily training, easy miles, or general fitness. Their key benefit lies in the nitrogen-infused DNA LOFT v3 cushioning, which offers exceptional comfort and shock absorption. A potential caveat is that while the fit is accommodating, it offers a slightly snug feel, so runners with wider feet may want to try them on first.

FAQs

What type of runner is the Brooks Ghost 18 best for?

The Ghost 18 is ideal for neutral runners who need a soft, smooth, and reliable shoe for road running, daily training, easy miles, walking, and general fitness.

How does the cushioning feel?

The shoe features nitrogen-infused DNA LOFT v3 cushioning, which provides a lightweight, soft, and responsive feel with excellent shock absorption for comfortable landings.

Is the fit true to size?

Yes, the Brooks Ghost 18 is generally considered true to size. It offers a secure, slightly snug fit that accommodates a range of foot shapes.

Are these shoes suitable for marathon training?

Yes, the ample cushioning and smooth ride make the Ghost 18 a great option for marathon training, especially for daily runs and long runs where comfort is prioritized.

What is the offset of the shoe?

The shoe has a heel-to-toe offset of 10mm.

What materials are used in the outsole?

The outsole is made of RoadTack rubber, which incorporates recycled silica for durable traction and a more sustainable manufacturing process.

Can I wash my Brooks Ghost 18 trainers?

Are these shoes vegan-friendly?

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or restrictive.

Ensure laces are not tied too tightly. Consider if your foot shape requires a wider fit, although the Ghost 18 is designed to accommodate various foot shapes, it offers a secure, slightly snug feel.

Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time.

This is normal wear. The midsole cushioning will naturally compress with mileage. Consider replacing the shoes after 300-500 miles, or when you notice a significant decrease in comfort and support.

Slipping on wet surfaces.

While the RoadTack outsole provides good grip, always exercise caution on extremely wet or slick surfaces. Ensure the outsole is free from debris.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional soft and smooth cushioning for all-day comfort.
  • Breathable and adaptive upper ensures a secure yet comfortable fit.
  • Durable outsole provides reliable traction on various road surfaces.
  • Suitable for a wide range of activities beyond running, including walking and daily wear.
  • Incorporates sustainable materials like recycled silica in the outsole.

Cons

  • May feel slightly snug for runners with very wide feet.
  • While durable, the focus is on comfort and softness rather than maximal responsiveness for speed.
  • The aesthetic may be considered standard by some users seeking bold designs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Brooks Ghost 18 comes ready to wear. It is recommended to try them on to ensure the fit is correct for your foot shape, as they offer a slightly snug feel. Ensure laces are tied to your preferred tightness for optimal security and comfort.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for neutral runners and are compatible with most running gaits. They are best suited for road running, treadmill use, walking, and general fitness activities.

Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your Brooks Ghost 18 trainers:

  1. Cleaning: Remove excess dirt with a soft brush. If washing is necessary, use a mild detergent and cold water. Hand wash or use a gentle cycle in a washing machine, then air dry away from direct heat.
  2. Drying: Never use a dryer or direct heat source, as this can damage the materials. Stuffing with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shoe shape during drying.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid leaving them in hot environments like car trunks.
  4. Rotation: If possible, rotate with another pair of shoes to allow them to fully dry out and recover their cushioning between uses.
