Product Information

Full details

The Brooks Ghost 18 is designed for adult male runners seeking a reliable, neutral road running shoe for daily training, easy miles, walking, and general fitness. Its key benefit is the consistent soft, smooth, and dependable ride, thanks to nitrogen-infused DNA LOFT v3 cushioning. A potential caveat for some users might be the slightly snug fit, which, while secure, accommodates a range of foot shapes but may feel restrictive for those preferring a very wide toe box.

FAQs

Are the Brooks Ghost 18 suitable for marathon running?

Yes, the Ghost 18's DNA LOFT v3 cushioning and smooth ride make them well-suited for marathon distances, especially for neutral runners prioritizing comfort and consistency.

How do I know if this is the right shoe for my foot type?

The Ghost 18 is a neutral shoe, best for runners who do not overpronate significantly. If you need more stability, consider Brooks' stability models. The fit is generally true to size, offering a secure yet accommodating feel.

What does 'nitrogen-infused' cushioning mean?

Nitrogen infusion creates a lighter, softer, and more responsive foam (DNA LOFT v3) compared to traditional EVA cushioning. It enhances shock absorption and provides a consistent feel over time.

Is the Ghost 18 a good shoe for walking?

Absolutely. The comfort, cushioning, and smooth transitions make the Ghost 18 an excellent choice for walking and everyday wear, providing support and reducing impact.

How does the new upper differ from previous models?

The updated upper features triple jacquard engineered mesh for a more secure fit and improved breathability. The flat-knit tongue also adds enhanced comfort and reduced pressure.

What is the benefit of the RoadTack rubber outsole?

The RoadTack rubber provides durable traction for road running. Additionally, its composition using recycled silica contributes to a more sustainable manufacturing process.

How much reflectivity is there on the shoe?

The Ghost 18 includes 3M reflectivity on the heel collar and lateral heel, enhancing visibility in low-light conditions.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight or restrictive.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. If the issue persists, consider if your foot shape requires a wider model, although the Ghost 18 is designed to accommodate various foot shapes.

Reduced cushioning or responsiveness.

Over time, cushioning naturally diminishes. For optimal performance, consider replacing shoes after approximately 300-500 miles of use, depending on running style and terrain.

Slipping on wet surfaces.

While the RoadTack outsole provides durable grip, performance on very wet or slick surfaces may be reduced. Exercise caution in such conditions.

Care Instructions:

Cleaning: To clean, use a damp cloth with mild soap to spot clean the upper and midsole. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water.
Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Outsole Maintenance: Periodically check the outsole for debris or wear. Small stones can be removed with a soft brush.
