FAQs

Are the Brooks Ghost 18 suitable for marathon running?

Yes, the DNA LOFT v3 cushioning provides comfort for long distances, making them suitable for marathon training and racing, especially for runners who prefer a neutral, soft shoe.

How do I determine my correct size?

The Ghost 18 is designed to be true to size. It is recommended to take your normal running shoe size. Measure your feet if unsure, and consider trying them on if possible.

Can these shoes be worn for cross-training or gym workouts?

While they offer comfort for general fitness, their primary design is for road running. For intense cross-training with lateral movements, a shoe with more stability might be preferred.

What is the main difference between the Ghost 18 and previous models?

The Ghost 18 features an updated engineered mesh upper for improved fit and breathability, and continues to use the nitrogen-infused DNA LOFT v3 cushioning for a soft, responsive ride.

How durable is the RoadTack rubber outsole?

The RoadTack rubber outsole is designed for durable traction on road surfaces. Its lifespan will depend on factors like mileage, running surface, and user weight.

Are the materials used sustainable?

Yes, the outsole incorporates recycled silica, and the shoe has a vegan-friendly construction, reflecting a more considered approach to materials.

How often should I replace my Brooks Ghost 18 trainers?

It's generally recommended to replace running shoes every 300-500 miles, or when you notice a significant decrease in cushioning or support, or signs of wear and tear.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure you have the correct size. If they are new, they may require a short break-in period. Loosen the laces to create more room.

Reduced cushioning effect

Cushioning can diminish over extensive mileage. Consider if the shoes have reached their intended lifespan or if the footbed needs replacing.

Slipping on wet surfaces

While the RoadTack outsole offers good grip, extreme wet conditions can reduce traction. Exercise caution and reduce speed in such conditions.

Discomfort in the upper

Check if the laces are tied too tightly. Ensure the flat-knit tongue is positioned correctly to avoid pressure points.

Pros and Cons

Excellent shock absorption and comfort due to DNA LOFT v3 cushioning.

Durable outsole with good traction for road surfaces.
Sustainable material choice with recycled silica in the outsole.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal comfort and performance.

Compatibility: Designed primarily for road running, daily training, easy miles, walking, and general fitness. They are compatible with standard running socks.

Care:

Cleaning: Use a damp cloth with mild soap to clean the exterior. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents.
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.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Laundering: It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Hand cleaning is the preferred method to maintain the shoe's structure and materials.
