FAQs

What type of runner is the Brooks Ghost 18 best suited for?

The Brooks Ghost 18 is ideal for neutral runners looking for a blend of soft cushioning and balanced support for everyday road running and training.

How much cushioning does the Ghost 18 offer?

It offers a significant amount of soft cushioning designed to provide comfort and impact absorption for a smooth ride.

Can I use the Brooks Ghost 18 for trail running?

No, the Ghost 18 is designed specifically for road running. Its outsole provides optimal traction on paved surfaces and may not perform well or be durable enough for rough trails.

How do I know if I have a neutral foot strike?

Neutral runners typically have a normal arch and their feet land on the outside of the heel and then roll slightly inward to absorb shock. Observing your worn shoes can also give clues; even wear on the sole suggests a neutral strike.

What is the expected lifespan of the Brooks Ghost 18?

The lifespan of running shoes varies based on mileage, running surface, and individual gait. However, many runners find the Ghost series offers good durability, typically lasting between 300-500 miles.

Does the Ghost 18 come in different widths?

While specific width availability can vary by retailer and region, the Ghost 18 is generally offered in standard and sometimes wide options to accommodate different foot shapes.

How does the Ghost 18 differ from previous versions?

Each iteration of the Ghost series typically includes updates to the cushioning, upper materials, and fit for enhanced comfort and performance. The Ghost 18 features updated details for extra comfort.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring even pressure. If still too tight, consider if the size is appropriate or if socks are too thick.

Cushioning feels stiff initially

The cushioning will soften and adapt to your foot with a few runs. Wear them for shorter distances initially to break them in.

Soles showing excessive wear

Inspect the wear pattern. If wear is uneven, it might indicate a stride issue. For normal wear, this suggests it's time to consider a new pair after significant mileage.

Inside lining feels uncomfortable

Ensure socks are properly fitted. Check for any debris inside the shoe. If discomfort persists, the shoe's internal structure may not suit your foot shape.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Consistently soft and comfortable cushioning for long-distance running.
  • Reliable support for neutral runners, promoting a stable stride.
  • Durable construction that withstands regular use.
  • Good breathability keeps feet cool during workouts.
  • Versatile for various training paces and distances.

Cons

  • May feel less responsive for runners seeking a very fast, propulsive feel.
  • The cushioning might be too soft for runners who prefer a firmer ride.
  • Fit may be too traditional for those accustomed to highly adaptive or minimalist shoes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Brooks Ghost 18 trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size for a comfortable fit. It's recommended to wear them with appropriate running socks for optimal comfort and performance.

Compatibility: These road-running shoes are designed for use on paved surfaces such as roads, sidewalks, and treadmills. They are suitable for neutral runners and provide a balanced feel for various foot strikes.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid harsh detergents or soaking the shoes. For stubborn stains, use a mild soap and water solution with a cloth.
  2. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to maintain their shape and material integrity.
