Product Information

Full details

The Brooks Ghost 18 is a premier neutral trainer designed for road runners and walkers seeking a reliable, balanced daily driver. It excels by combining plush nitrogen-infused cushioning with a stable, durable platform, making it ideal for everything from casual walks to high-mileage training; however, its traditional 10mm drop may feel less 'natural' or minimalist for those accustomed to low-profile or zero-drop footwear.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for flat feet?

The Ghost 18 is a neutral shoe. If you have flat feet and require significant arch support or correction for overpronation, you may need an additional orthotic insert.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No. Machine washing and drying can destroy the structural integrity of the foam and adhesives. Always hand wash.

What is the weight of the Ghost 18?

The trainer weighs approximately 260 grams.

Is this a trail running shoe?

No, the Ghost 18 is specifically designed for road surfaces. The outsole lacks the deep lugs required for loose dirt or technical trails.

How long should I expect them to last?

Standard running shoe lifespan is typically 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running style and surface conditions.

Troubleshooting

Heel slippage

Try the 'runner's loop' or 'lock lacing' technique to secure the ankle collar more firmly.

Dirt buildup on the knit upper

Allow mud to dry completely before brushing it off with a soft-bristled brush to avoid pushing grit into the fabric.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptionally soft nitrogen-infused foam
  • Highly durable outsole for road running
  • Lightweight construction prevents fatigue
  • Versatile design for walking or running

Cons

  • Not suitable for technical trail or off-road use
  • 10mm drop may not suit minimalist-focused users
  • Neutral support is not designed for significant overpronation

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Brooks Ghost 18 trainers last their intended lifespan, follow these guidelines:

  1. Break-in Period: While the Ghost 18 is comfortable out of the box, walk in them for 1-2 days before attempting your first long-distance run.
  2. Sizing: Ensure you have a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to prevent black nails during descent.
  3. Cleaning: Hand wash only. Remove the sockliner, use warm water and mild soap, and air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent glue degradation.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight, as UV rays can cause the foam materials to break down and colours to fade.
