FAQs

What type of runner is the Brooks Ghost 18 best suited for?

The Brooks Ghost 18 is ideal for neutral runners who need a reliable, comfortable shoe for daily training, long runs, and easy mileage. It works well for those seeking balanced cushioning and a smooth ride.

How often should I replace my Brooks Ghost 18 trainers?

Most running shoes, including the Ghost 18, are recommended to be replaced every 300-500 miles (480-800 km) or when you notice a significant decrease in cushioning or support.

Can I use the Ghost 18 for marathon training?

Yes, the Ghost 18 is an excellent choice for marathon training due to its consistent comfort and reliable cushioning for long distances.

Is the Ghost 18 suitable for runners with wider feet?

Brooks often offers their popular models, including the Ghost series, in wider widths (e.g., 2E for men, D for women). Check for available width options when purchasing.

How does the Ghost 18 differ from previous versions?

Each iteration of the Ghost series typically features updates to cushioning, the midsole, or the upper design to enhance comfort and ride. The Ghost 18 focuses on updated cushioning and a smoother heel-to-toe transition.

Are these shoes waterproof?

No, the standard Brooks Ghost 18 trainers are not waterproof. They are designed with breathable mesh for ventilation, which means they are not water-resistant.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable

Ensure you have the correct size and width. Try wearing them with your usual running socks. If discomfort persists, consider a different size or model.

Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time

The cushioning may naturally break down after significant mileage (typically 300-500 miles). Consider replacing the shoes when they no longer feel supportive or comfortable.

Upper material feels abrasive

This can sometimes occur with new shoes due to the materials settling. Wear them for shorter periods initially to allow them to break in. Ensure laces are not tied too tightly, which can cause pressure points.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional comfort for daily runs
  • Consistent and smooth ride experience
  • Breathable and secure upper fit
  • Durable construction for everyday use
  • Appeals to a broad spectrum of runners

Cons

  • May lack advanced features for elite performance
  • Cushioning might be too soft for runners preferring a firm feel
  • Design is focused on consistency, not aggressive speed training

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Brooks Ghost 18 trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size for a comfortable fit. It is recommended to try them on indoors before your first run to check for any pressure points or discomfort.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for road running and general athletic activities. They are not specifically designed for trail running or highly technical terrain.

Care: To maintain the performance and lifespan of your Brooks Ghost 18 trainers:

  1. Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and cold water with a soft cloth or brush. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing.
  2. 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.
  3. Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
