Full details
The Brooks Ghost 18 is a premier neutral road running shoe designed for runners and walkers seeking a reliable, comfortable, and smooth experience for daily mileage or casual wear. It features advanced nitrogen-infused cushioning to handle shock absorption, making it an excellent choice for those prioritizing joint comfort and a natural ride; however, those looking for a high-propulsion racing shoe may find this trainer better suited for training than speed-focused performance.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for flat feet?
The Ghost 18 is a neutral shoe. If you have flat feet and require significant arch support, you may want to consult a professional to see if an aftermarket insole is needed.
Can I use these for trail running?
While durable, the Ghost 18 is optimized for road and pavement surfaces. The outsole may not provide adequate grip on loose or technical trail terrain.
How long should the cushioning last?
Typically, the cushioning in the Ghost series remains effective for 300 to 500 miles, depending on your weight, running surface, and gait.
Does the mesh upper provide enough water protection?
The engineered mesh is designed for breathability rather than water resistance. It will likely let water through in heavy rain.
Are the laces replaceable?
Yes, you can replace the factory laces with any standard running shoe lace of the appropriate length if they become frayed.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure on the top of the foot
Loosen the lacing system, specifically through the midfoot eyelets, to accommodate the volume of your foot.
Outsole losing traction in wet conditions
Ensure the RoadTack rubber is free of debris; wipe the outsole with a damp cloth to remove any buildup that may interfere with surface contact.
Heel slippage while running
Try using the 'runner's loop' or 'heel lock' lacing technique to secure the ankle collar more firmly against your heel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Brooks Ghost 18, it is important to follow proper maintenance steps. For the initial fit, ensure you have approximately a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to allow for natural foot swelling during runs. For cleaning, remove surface dirt with a soft brush after use and wipe the upper with a damp cloth; do not submerge the shoes in water or put them in the washing machine, as this can degrade the foam and adhesive. To maintain the cushioning integrity, allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can harden the midsole foam.
