Product Information
Full details
The Brooks Ghost 18 is a premier neutral road running shoe designed for runners seeking a consistent, reliable, and soft ride for daily training. It excels by providing excellent shock absorption and a secure, adaptive fit, making it an ideal choice for both long-distance efforts and short recovery runs. However, while highly durable and comfortable, users prioritizing maximum speed or racing-specific performance may find its traditional trainer build slightly heavier than dedicated carbon-plated competition shoes.

FAQs
Is the Brooks Ghost 18 good for high arches?
Yes, the Ghost 18 is a neutral shoe that provides ample cushioning and support for runners with high arches who do not require significant stability control.
Can I replace the insole?
Yes, the OrthoLite sockliner is removable and can be replaced with your own custom orthotics if preferred.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, they feature an engineered mesh upper designed for maximum breathability, meaning they are not waterproof.
How many miles do these typically last?
Most runners find that the Ghost series provides excellent performance for 300 to 500 miles, depending on running surface and body weight.
Is this shoe suitable for flat feet?
While it is a neutral shoe, many runners with mild flat feet find the comfort of the DNA LOFT v3 to be sufficient, though those requiring significant arch support should consult a specialist.
Troubleshooting
Heel slippage while running
Try using the 'runner's loop' or heel-lock lacing method with the final eyelet to secure your heel in place.
Upper material showing signs of dirt
Wipe with a damp cloth and mild detergent immediately after runs; do not use harsh chemicals.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Brooks Ghost 18 shoes last, follow these guidelines:
- Fit Check: Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe.
- Break-in Period: While these feel great out of the box, give them a few short runs to allow the foam and mesh to adapt to your specific gait.
- Cleaning: Hand wash using a soft-bristled brush and mild soap. Avoid the washing machine, as the heat can compromise the cushioning foam.
- Drying: Air dry only in a cool, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight or heat sources, which can warp the materials.
- Rotation: If you run frequently, consider rotating these with another pair of shoes to allow the foam to decompress fully between sessions.
