Product Information

Full details

The Brooks Ghost 18 is a premier daily trainer designed for runners of all levels who prioritize a consistent, reliable, and smooth ride for their everyday miles. By combining soft cushioning with a balanced, neutral support system, these trainers help facilitate a natural heel-to-toe transition that minimizes fatigue during high-volume training. While the shoe offers exceptional comfort and a secure fit, potential users should note that its traditional, cushioned design may feel less responsive than specialized high-performance racing flats.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is the Brooks Ghost 18 suitable for flat feet?

The Ghost 18 is a neutral trainer, meaning it is designed for runners with neutral arches, though it accommodates a wide variety of foot types comfortably.

How often should I replace these trainers?

Generally, daily trainers should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running style and surface conditions.

Are these shoes waterproof?

No, the engineered mesh upper is designed for maximum breathability rather than water resistance.

Can I use orthotics with this shoe?

Yes, the standard sockliner is removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics if needed.

Are these suitable for gym use?

While primarily a running shoe, the stable platform makes them suitable for moderate gym training and treadmill work.

Troubleshooting

Upper mesh feels too tight during use

Adjust the lacing pattern to a 'window lacing' style to relieve pressure points over the top of the foot.

Inner heel wear occurs prematurely

Ensure your shoes are fully untied before removing them rather than kicking them off with the other foot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Brooks Ghost 18, it is important to allow the midsole foam to recover by rotating your trainers if you run daily. Ensure you choose the correct size based on your standard UK measurement, noting the secure fit of the engineered mesh upper. For cleaning, avoid the washing machine; instead, use a soft-bristled brush or a cloth with mild soap and lukewarm water to wipe away mud and debris. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally, keeping them away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, which can compromise the foam’s chemical composition.
