Product Information
Full details
The Brooks Ghost 18 is a premier choice for neutral runners seeking a reliable, versatile trainer for daily road runs and walking. Engineered with nitrogen-infused DNA LOFT v3 foam, this shoe provides a signature soft feel paired with balanced support for a smooth transition during each stride, though its focus on high-mileage cushioning may feel slightly less responsive for those prioritizing aggressive speedwork.

FAQs
Is the Ghost 18 suitable for flat feet?
Yes, it is a neutral trainer, but if you require significant arch support, you may consider using custom orthotics with the removable insoles.
How do I determine the right size?
Ensure you have about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to accommodate foot swelling during exercise.
Can I use these for trail running?
While the RoadTack outsole is durable, these are primarily engineered for road and pavement; they may lack the aggressive lug depth required for technical trails.
What is the weight of the Ghost 18?
The shoe weighs approximately 289.2 grams, balancing lightweight materials with maximum cushioning.
How often should I replace them?
It is generally recommended to replace your trainers every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running style and surface conditions.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels stiff out of the box
The foam may require a short break-in period of 10-20 miles of walking or light jogging to fully adapt to your foot shape.
Heel slippage during runs
Try the 'runner's loop' lacing technique to better secure the ankle collar against your heel.
Pros and Cons

- Highly durable RoadTack outsole for road use

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Brooks Ghost 18 shoes last, rotate them with another pair to allow the foam to decompress between sessions. To clean, remove excess dirt with a soft brush and wash by hand using a mild detergent and lukewarm water; avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can damage the foam's nitrogen-infused structure. For optimal performance, check the outsole for significant wear patterns every 300 to 500 miles, which is the typical lifespan for this type of foam cushioning.
