Product Information
Full details
The Brooks Ghost 18 is a high-performance trainer designed for adult runners and walkers who prioritize consistent comfort, balanced support, and a smooth heel-to-toe transition. Ideal for daily road miles and versatile enough for general fitness use, these shoes feature an engineered mesh upper for breathability and an updated RoadTack rubber outsole for reliable grip. While the shoe offers excellent durability and a secure, adaptable fit, users looking for highly specialized trail or stability-heavy footwear may find the neutral platform less suited to extreme off-road terrain or severe overpronation.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for trails?
The Ghost 18 is primarily designed for road use; while it performs fine on hard-packed paths, it lacks the aggressive lugs required for technical trails.
How do I know if the Ghost 18 is right for my gait?
The Ghost 18 is a neutral trainer. It is best for runners who do not require significant arch support or motion control.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No. Machine washing can damage the adhesives and the integrity of the foam cushioning. Hand cleaning is recommended.
Does this shoe come in different widths?
The Ghost series often comes in various widths, though availability varies by specific retailer and region.
How long should the cushioning last?
Typically, the performance properties of the midsole foam are designed to last between 300 and 500 miles, depending on the wearer's weight and terrain.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure points on the top of the foot
Adjust the lacing technique to a 'window' or 'gap' lacing pattern to relieve tension on the top of the tongue.
Slippage in the heel area
Use the extra eyelet at the top of the shoe to perform a 'runner’s loop' to lock the heel more securely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Brooks Ghost 18 remains in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in Period: While comfortable out of the box, allow for a few short walks to ensure the mesh upper settles into your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Remove surface dirt with a soft brush. Use a damp cloth with mild soap for localized stains; avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as this can degrade the cushioning materials.
- Storage: Keep your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the rubber compounds and mesh from prematurely aging.
- Replacement: Plan to assess the outsole and midsole compression after 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and intensity.
