FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for trail running?
The Ghost 18 is primarily designed for road running. While they perform well on light, hard-packed trails, they are not intended for technical or muddy off-road terrain.
How should I clean my Brooks trainers?
Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and a damp cloth with mild soap for surface stains. Never put them in a washing machine or dryer.
Does the Ghost 18 offer arch support?
The shoe features an ergonomic fit that provides neutral support, suitable for most runner foot types.
Are these shoes true to size?
The Ghost 18 generally follows standard adult sizing. If you prefer extra room for thicker socks, consider a half-size up.
What is the primary material in the upper?
The upper is constructed from an engineered breathable mesh designed to optimize ventilation.
Can I use custom insoles with these trainers?
Yes, the standard insole is removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if required.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight during a run
Loosen the lace tension in the midfoot area and ensure you are wearing appropriate moisture-wicking running socks.
Reduced traction on wet surfaces
Wipe the outsole clean of any debris or caked-on mud; ensure the tread is not heavily worn down.
Discomfort or 'hot spots'
Check if the inner liner is smooth and free of debris; ensure the tongue is centered and not bunched under the laces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Brooks Ghost 18 trainers last as long as possible, start by adjusting the laces to match your foot shape—do not over-tighten, as the ergonomic design is meant to work with the shoe's natural structure. To clean, remove excess dirt with a soft brush after your run and use a damp cloth with mild soap for deeper stains. Always air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can degrade the cushioning foam and adhesive bonds.
