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.
