FAQs

What is the primary use for the Brooks Ghost 18?

The Brooks Ghost 18 is a neutral road running shoe ideal for daily training, easy miles, walking, and general fitness activities.

How do I determine the correct size?

The Ghost 18 fits true to size. It is recommended to take your normal running shoe size. Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing.

Is this shoe suitable for trail running?

No, the Ghost 18 is designed specifically for road running. The outsole provides optimal traction on paved surfaces, but it is not designed for the demands of trail terrain.

How should I clean my Ghost 18 trainers?

Clean with a mild soap and cool water using a cloth or soft brush. Allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.

What is the main difference in cushioning compared to previous Ghost models?

The Ghost 18 features nitrogen-infused DNA LOFT v3 cushioning, which is designed to be lighter, softer, and more responsive than previous iterations, providing improved impact absorption and smoother transitions.

Does the shoe offer good support for pronation?

The Ghost 18 is a neutral shoe, meaning it does not incorporate specific stability features for overpronation. It is best suited for runners with a neutral foot strike or who use their own orthotics.

What is the material of the outsole?

The outsole is made of RoadTack rubber, which incorporates recycled silica for durable traction and a more sustainable manufacturing process.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or restrictive.

Ensure you are wearing your usual running socks. Try loosening the laces, especially around the midfoot and forefoot. If the issue persists, consider if a different size or width might be more suitable.

Reduced cushioning or responsiveness.

The midsole cushioning may feel different as it adapts to your foot over time. If performance significantly degrades, the shoe may have reached the end of its lifespan. Consider replacing them after approximately 300-500 miles of running.

Poor traction on wet surfaces.

While the RoadTack outsole offers good grip, extreme wet conditions can reduce traction. Ensure the outsole is clean of debris. For significantly wet conditions, run with caution.

Discomfort at the top of the foot (tongue area).

Adjust the lacing pattern to reduce pressure on the instep. Ensure the flat-knit tongue is positioned correctly and not bunched up.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Consistently soft and smooth ride for neutral runners.
  • Updated upper provides a secure yet breathable fit.
  • Lightweight and responsive cushioning enhances comfort over distance.
  • Durable outsole with good traction on road surfaces.
  • Reflective elements improve safety during low-light conditions.

Cons

  • Fit may be slightly snug for wider feet.
  • Primarily designed for road running, less ideal for trails.
  • Coloration might be specific and not suit all preferences.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Brooks Ghost 18 arrives ready to wear. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal comfort and performance. It is recommended to try them on with the type of socks you typically run in.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed primarily for road running and general fitness activities. They are compatible with most running surfaces, including pavement, sidewalks, and light gravel paths. They are not designed for technical trail running.

Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your Brooks Ghost 18 trainers:

  1. Cleaning: Remove excess dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and cool water with a cloth or soft brush. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
  2. Drying: Air dry the shoes at room temperature, away from direct heat sources. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
  4. Rotation: If possible, rotate between multiple pairs of running shoes to allow them to fully dry and recover between runs.
