FAQs
Are the Brooks Ghost 18 suitable for overpronation?
The Ghost 18 is a neutral trainer and is not specifically designed with stability features for overpronation. Consult a podiatrist if you require specific arch support.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, it is recommended to spot clean with a damp cloth. Machine washing can damage the adhesive and the structural integrity of the foam.
What is the midsole drop of this shoe?
The Brooks Ghost 18 features a 10mm midsole drop.
Is this shoe good for walking?
Yes, the balanced cushioning and breathable upper make these an excellent choice for daily walking and general fitness.
Does the mesh upper provide enough water resistance?
The engineered mesh is designed for maximum breathability, meaning it is not water-resistant and will allow moisture to pass through in wet conditions.
How often should I replace my Ghost 18 trainers?
Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles depending on your usage, weight, and the surfaces you run on.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of slippage or loose heel fit
Try the 'runner's loop' lacing technique using the additional eyelet at the top of the shoe to lock the heel in place.
Discomfort or hot spots during long runs
Ensure your socks are moisture-wicking and seamless to prevent friction; check that the laces are not tightened unevenly.
Outsole debris buildup
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently clear small stones or pebbles from the grooves of the RoadTack rubber to maintain traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience with your Ghost 18 trainers, ensure you have selected your correct UK size, as the engineered mesh provides a snug but flexible fit. If you use custom orthotics, the removable sockliner can be replaced to accommodate your specific arch support needs.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe away dirt with a soft, damp cloth. Do not machine wash or dry, as high heat can degrade the cushioning foam.
- Drying: Air dry in a cool, well-ventilated space away from direct sunlight or artificial heat sources like heaters.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to maintain the integrity of the breathable mesh upper.
