FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for flat feet?
The Ghost 18 is generally categorized as a neutral trainer, but its supportive structure works well for many runners; consider an aftermarket orthotic if you require extra arch support.
How often should I replace these trainers?
Most performance trainers are designed to provide optimal support for 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and weight.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
While primarily designed for running, the stable base makes them suitable for general gym use and light weightlifting.
Does the purple color fade?
Like all dyed materials, direct and prolonged exposure to UV sunlight can cause some fading over time; try to store them in a dark, cool place when not in use.
Is this a unisex model?
The specific model listed is designed for an adult male fit.
Troubleshooting
Discomfort during long runs
Ensure your lacing is not too tight across the bridge of the foot, which can restrict blood flow.
Outsole collecting small debris
Use a specialized shoe cleaning brush or a dull toothpick to clear stones from the tread pattern after runs.
Visible scuffs on the purple exterior
Use a specialized sneaker cleaner or a damp magic eraser to gently buff out surface marks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Brooks Ghost 18 trainers last, proper care is essential. When you first receive your shoes, ensure a 'thumb's width' of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to allow for foot swelling during exercise. For cleaning, remove surface dirt with a soft-bristled brush. If the uppers become stained, wipe them down with a mild soap solution and lukewarm water. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can break down the adhesives and foam integrity. Always air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight.
