Product Information
Full details
The Brooks Ghost 18 is designed for neutral runners and fitness enthusiasts seeking a reliable, smooth, and cushioned ride for daily training. Featuring nitrogen-infused DNA LOFT v3 technology, these trainers provide excellent shock absorption and soft landings for road running and general walking. While they offer exceptional comfort and a secure fit, runners looking for a high-speed racing shoe may find them slightly heavier than dedicated performance-racing models.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for overpronation?
The Ghost 18 is a neutral shoe and does not contain extra stability features for significant overpronation. It is best for runners with a natural gait.
Can I use these for marathon training?
Yes, many runners use the Ghost series for long-distance training due to their focus on comfort and durability over many miles.
How long should these shoes last?
Generally, running shoes like the Ghost 18 retain their cushioning properties for approximately 300 to 500 miles, depending on usage and body weight.
Are these waterproof?
No, these trainers use an engineered mesh upper designed for breathability, meaning they will allow water to pass through if you step in a deep puddle.
Does the Ghost 18 fit true to size?
Yes, the model generally fits true to standard UK sizing, though the updated upper provides a slightly more accommodating fit than previous versions.
Can I replace the insole?
Yes, the OrthoLite sockliner is removable and can be swapped for custom orthotics if necessary.
Troubleshooting
Heel slipping while walking or running
Try a 'runner's loop' or 'lock-down' lacing technique to secure the heel cup more tightly against your foot.
Outsole collecting small stones
Regularly inspect the tread after runs; the RoadTack rubber pattern is deep for grip and can occasionally trap debris.
Sockliner bunching up
Remove the liner, ensure no debris is trapped underneath, and firmly press it back into place ensuring it lays flat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Brooks Ghost 18 trainers remain in peak condition, follow these guidelines:
- Fit Check: Ensure you have a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to account for natural foot swelling.
- Break-in Period: While these shoes are comfortable out of the box, perform one or two shorter walks before committing to a long-distance run.
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid putting them in a washing machine, as the heat and agitation can damage the foam and adhesives.
- Drying: Air dry only. Remove the sockliner to speed up the process and avoid direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers to maintain the structural integrity of the midsole.
