Full details

FAQs
Is the Brooks Ghost 18 a stability shoe?
No, the Ghost 18 is classified as a neutral shoe, meaning it is designed for runners who do not require specific arch support or corrective stability features.
Can I use these for trail running?
These shoes are specifically designed for road surfaces. The outsole lacks the deep lugs required for reliable traction on loose or technical trail terrain.
How do I know if the size 6.5 UK is right for me?
It is recommended to have roughly a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to account for foot swelling during movement.
What is the weight of the shoe?
The Brooks Ghost 18 weighs approximately 289.2 grams, making it a lightweight option for daily training.
What is the benefit of DNA LOFT v3?
The nitrogen infusion process creates a foam that is both lighter and more durable than standard EVA, providing a softer landing and better energy return.
Troubleshooting
Foot feels slightly cramped after long runs
Feet naturally swell during exercise. Try loosening the laces in the midfoot area or re-lacing to allow more room for toe splay.
Visible dirt on the upper fabric
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dried mud. For deeper stains, spot clean with a small amount of mild detergent and cold water.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Brooks Ghost 18 trainers, avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can degrade the foam properties. Instead, wipe them down with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. If they become wet, air dry them naturally at room temperature with the insoles removed to ensure thorough drying. Check the wear pattern on the RoadTack outsole every 300-500 miles; if the tread pattern is significantly smoothed or the cushioning feels compressed, it is likely time for a replacement to ensure continued joint protection.
