FAQs
Is the Brooks Ghost 18 a stability shoe?
No, the Ghost 18 is classified as a neutral running shoe designed for runners who do not require specific arch support for overpronation.
Can I use these for trail running?
While the RoadTack rubber offers good grip, these are designed primarily for road surfaces. They may lack the protection and aggressive lugs needed for technical trails.
How many miles do these shoes typically last?
Generally, running shoes like the Ghost 18 offer optimal cushioning for 300 to 500 miles, depending on the running surface and your individual gait.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the OrthoLite sockliner is removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if required.
Does the engineered mesh upper stretch over time?
The upper is designed to adapt to your foot, but it is engineered to maintain its structure. You should select a size that feels comfortable immediately upon trying them on.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure on the top of the foot
Adjust the lacing system using the 'window' lacing technique to relieve tension on the area over the flat-knit tongue.
Slippage in the heel area
Utilize the extra eyelet at the top of the shoe to create a 'runner's loop' or heel lock to secure the fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Ghost 18 trainers, avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can degrade the foam and adhesives. If the shoes become dirty, gently scrub the outsole with a soft brush and use a mild soap with a damp cloth for the upper mesh. Ensure they air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. When sizing, note that the engineered mesh offers some flexibility, but ensure your toes have about a thumb's width of space at the front for optimal comfort during long-distance swelling.
