Setup, Compatibility & Care
The Brooks Ghost 18 comes ready to wear straight out of the box with no specific setup required. These are road-running shoes designed primarily for use on pavement, treadmills, and other hard, relatively smooth surfaces. Avoid using them on technical trails or in extremely muddy conditions, as the outsole is not designed for aggressive terrain.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: After runs, use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and debris. For more thorough cleaning, use a mild soap and cool water with a soft cloth or sponge. Do not machine wash or dry your shoes, as this can damage the materials and affect the fit.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Ensure they are completely dry before storing them long-term.
