Featuring nitrogen-infused DNA LOFT v3 cushioning, it is ideal for daily training, easy miles, and general fitness, offering a secure fit for a variety of foot shapes.

FAQs
Is the Brooks Ghost 18 suitable for flat feet?
As a neutral shoe, it is best for runners with normal arches. Those with flat feet may find it comfortable but should consult a specialist if they require motion control.
Can these be used for trail running?
While the RoadTack outsole is durable, these are optimized for road surfaces. They may lack the underfoot protection needed for rugged, technical trails.
How long should the cushioning last?
Generally, you can expect the Ghost 18 to maintain its integrity for 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and biomechanics.
Is the Ghost 18 a wide shoe?
The engineered mesh is designed to adapt to various foot shapes, but if you typically require wide-width footwear, ensure you check for availability in wide-specific sizing.
How do I clean the OrthoLite sockliner?
The sockliner can be removed and hand-washed with mild soap and cold water; air dry completely before reinserting.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure on the top of the foot
Loosen the laces at the midfoot and utilize the 'window lacing' technique to reduce pressure on the eyelets.
Slipping inside the heel
Use the extra eyelet at the top of the collar to perform a 'runner’s loop' (heel lock) to secure the ankle.
Excessive dirt buildup on the mesh
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dried mud before wiping with a damp cloth.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Exceptionally soft and smooth transition due to nitrogen-infused foam
- Highly breathable and adaptable engineered mesh upper
- Durable outsole provides reliable traction on varied road conditions
- Comfortable fit suitable for both intense training and casual walking
Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance from your Brooks Ghost 18, perform a proper lacing adjustment to customize the pressure across the midfoot. These shoes are compatible with standard aftermarket orthotics if additional arch support is required. To maintain the integrity of the shoe, avoid machine washing or drying. Clean the exterior by wiping with a damp cloth and mild soap, then allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Ensure you rotate your footwear to allow the foam compression to recover between sessions, which will extend the overall lifespan of the cushioning materials.
