Product Information

Full details

The Brooks Ghost 18 trainers are designed for adult runners and fitness enthusiasts seeking a smooth, balanced ride for daily training sessions. The standout benefit is the inclusion of nitrogen-infused DNA LOFT v3 cushioning, which delivers soft, responsive comfort underfoot. While they provide excellent support, prospective buyers should note that this specific model is optimized for neutral gaits, and the mesh upper is primarily focused on breathability, which may require thicker socks in colder climates.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for trail running?

The Ghost 18 is primarily designed for road running. While they perform well on light gravel, they lack the aggressive lugs needed for technical trails.

How long should these trainers last?

Generally, running shoes like the Ghost 18 are designed to provide optimal support for 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running style and surface.

Is the DNA LOFT v3 cushioning too soft?

It is designed to be 'balanced'—soft enough to provide comfort, but responsive enough that you don't feel like you are sinking into the ground.

Can I use my own orthotic insoles with these?

Yes, the factory sockliner is removable, allowing you to insert your custom orthotics if required.

Are these waterproof?

No, the mesh upper is designed for breathability, meaning water will pass through if you step in a puddle.

Troubleshooting

Feeling pressure points on the top of the foot

Try adjusting the lacing technique, such as using a window-lacing pattern to relieve pressure on the bridge.

Slipping in the heel area

Use the extra eyelet at the top of the lacing system to create a 'runner's loop' for a more secure heel lock.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior impact absorption from DNA LOFT v3
  • Highly breathable upper material for warm weather
  • Balanced design promotes a consistent running gait
  • Durable construction suitable for daily mileage

Cons

  • Not intended for stability-focused runners needing arch support
  • Mesh construction may feel breezy during winter use
  • Limited to road and hard-surface performance

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Brooks Ghost 18 trainers last as long as possible, follow these guidelines:

  • Sizing: Ensure you have checked your standard UK size; the Ghost 18 runs true to size, but always allow for a thumb's width of space at the front of the toe box for swelling during exercise.
  • Break-in: While comfortable out of the box, perform a few short 1-2 mile walks to allow the foam to adapt to your foot shape.
  • Cleaning: Hand wash only using lukewarm water and mild soap. Never machine wash or machine dry, as high heat can degrade the cushioning foam and the adhesive bonds in the upper.
  • Storage: Keep away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the materials. Allow them to air dry naturally in a well-ventilated area.
