Product Information
Full details
The Brooks Ghost 18 is an ideal choice for adult male runners seeking a reliable, balanced daily trainer that excels in both comfort and consistency. With its signature soft cushioning and smooth heel-to-toe transitions, it provides a stable experience for road running, workouts, or daily walking; however, those requiring high-intensity racing-specific responsiveness or specialized stability support may find this neutral trainer better suited for base mileage and recovery days.

FAQs
Is the Brooks Ghost 18 a stability or neutral shoe?
The Ghost 18 is classified as a neutral trainer, designed for runners with normal pronation or those who do not require extra arch support.
Can I use these for marathon training?
Yes, the Ghost 18 is frequently used for high-volume base training, making it an excellent choice for marathon prep due to its durability.
What is the weight of the shoe?
The shoe weighs approximately 10.2oz or 289.2g.
How do I know if the size UK 11 will fit me?
Check your current athletic shoe size or use a standard Brannock device to ensure a UK 11 accommodates your foot width and length correctly.
Are these shoes suitable for trails?
While they perform excellently on pavement and hard-packed roads, they are primarily designed as road trainers and may not provide the necessary protection or grip for technical, rocky trails.
What is the midsole drop of this model?
The Brooks Ghost 18 features a 10mm midsole drop.
Troubleshooting
Heel slipping while running
Try the 'runner's loop' or heel-lock lacing method to secure the heel cup more firmly against the back of your foot.
Footbed feels overly tight
Loosen the laces starting from the eyelets closest to your toes and work your way up to distribute pressure evenly.
Outsole debris collection
Use a small brush or toothpick to gently clear small stones or pebbles trapped in the outsole tread grooves.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, verify your size using the UK standard sizing provided (UK 11 for this model). When breaking in the trainers, wear them for shorter periods during the first few days to allow the engineered mesh to adapt to your foot structure.
Care Instructions:
- Wipe down the upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and dirt.
- Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as heat can degrade the cushioning foam and adhesive.
- Air dry the shoes at room temperature away from direct sunlight or radiators.
- If the footbed becomes damp, remove the sockliner to allow it to dry independently.
- Replace the trainers every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and gait intensity.
