FAQs
Is the Ghost 18 a stability shoe?
No, the Ghost 18 is categorized as a neutral running shoe designed for runners who do not require extra arch support or pronation control.
Can I use these for marathon training?
Yes, the Ghost 18 is widely used for marathon training due to its durability and focus on long-term comfort during high-mileage runs.
How long should these shoes last?
Generally, running shoes like the Ghost 18 should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and body weight.
Is the upper material waterproof?
No, the engineered mesh is designed for breathability rather than water resistance.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the OrthoLite sockliner is removable if you need to use custom orthotics.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure on the top of the foot
Loosen the laces across the midfoot or try a different lacing pattern, such as skipping the eyelets near the pressure point.
Outsole debris collection
Use a small pick or a sturdy brush to gently remove stones or gravel trapped in the tread of the RoadTack rubber outsole.
Reduced cushioning effectiveness
Ensure you are rotating your shoes; cushioning materials require time to 'decompress' after heavy usage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Brooks Ghost 18 trainers, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in Period: While comfortable out of the box, give the shoes a few short walks before taking them on long-distance runs to allow the mesh to adapt to your foot.
- Sizing: Ensure you are wearing your standard running shoe size; the adaptive mesh is designed to accommodate slight variations in width, but ensure there is adequate space in the toe box.
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush after runs. If they get muddy, wipe them down with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid putting them in the washing machine or dryer, as the heat can degrade the cushioning.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the rubber and cushioning materials from hardening or drying out.
