Full details
The Brooks Ghost 18 is a premier daily trainer designed for male runners seeking a reliable, balanced ride for everyday mileage.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for trails?
The Ghost 18 is primarily designed for road running. While it can handle light gravel paths, the outsole is optimized for paved surfaces.
How do I know if I have the right size?
You should have approximately a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to account for foot swelling during runs.
Can I replace the insoles with custom orthotics?
Yes, the stock sockliner is removable, allowing you to insert most standard custom orthotics.
How often should I replace the Ghost 18?
Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300-500 miles, depending on your running surface and individual gait.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the engineered mesh upper is designed for maximum breathability, meaning it is not waterproof.
What is the primary difference between this and the previous model?
The Ghost 18 features updated cushioning and a refined mesh tongue and sockliner system for improved comfort and weight distribution.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure or rubbing on the top of the foot
Try adjusting the lacing technique to a 'window lacing' style to relieve pressure on the midfoot.
Accumulation of dirt in the mesh upper
Use a soft-bristled toothbrush to gently agitate the mesh, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
Outsole loses traction over time
Check the tread for debris or small stones wedged in the grooves, which can hinder the rubber's contact with the road.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the lifespan of your Brooks Ghost 18, ensure the shoes are properly laced to utilize the adaptive fit of the engineered mesh upper. When not in use, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources to prevent material degradation. For cleaning, remove surface dirt with a soft brush and clean the mesh using mild soap and water; avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as this can damage the structural integrity of the cushioning foam. Always allow your shoes to air dry naturally with the insoles removed to prevent moisture buildup and odor.
