Full details
The Brooks Ghost 18 is a premier neutral road running shoe designed for adult runners and walkers who prioritize a soft, smooth, and dependable ride during daily mileage or casual exercise. Featuring nitrogen-infused DNA LOFT v3 cushioning and a refreshed engineered mesh upper, these trainers offer an adaptive fit and superior shock absorption; however, they are primarily optimized for road surfaces and may lack the aggressive traction needed for technical trail running.

No, machine washing can damage the structural integrity of the foam and adhesives. Always clean by hand using a soft brush and mild soap.

The Ghost 18 features an updated engineered mesh upper for improved breathability and a revised RoadTack rubber outsole made with recycled materials.
Are these neutral or stability shoes?
The Brooks Ghost 18 is classified as a neutral road running shoe.
How long should a pair of Ghost 18s last?
Typically, running shoes provide optimal cushioning and support for 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running gait and the surfaces you frequent.
Does the Ghost 18 contain any animal products?
Brooks focuses on performance materials and the Ghost 18 uses synthetic mesh and rubber, making them generally vegan-friendly.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of slippage in the heel
Try using a runner's loop (or heel lock) lacing technique to better secure the heel collar against your foot.
Excessive wear on the outsole after short mileage
Ensure you are using the shoe primarily on roads; high-friction surfaces like concrete or gravel can accelerate wear on the rubber compound.
Tongue migrating to the side during runs
Ensure the lace is threaded through the center loop on the tongue to keep it properly anchored in place.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Brooks Ghost 18 trainers, begin by loosening the laces to achieve a personalized tension that secures the midfoot without restricting blood flow. These shoes are compatible with most standard orthotic inserts if additional arch support is required. For daily care, remove debris from the RoadTack rubber outsole after every run to maintain optimal traction. If the shoes become muddy or wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators or direct sunlight, which can compromise the foam integrity and upper adhesives. Hand-wash using mild soap and a soft brush; do not machine wash or tumble dry.
