FAQs

Is the Brooks Ghost 18 good for flat feet?

The Ghost 18 offers a stable platform that works well for many neutral runners; however, those requiring specific orthotic support should consult a professional or use their own custom insoles.

Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?

No, it is recommended to clean them by hand. Machine washing and drying can damage the foam and adhesive components of the shoe.

How many miles can I expect from the Ghost 18?

Typically, you can expect between 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface, body weight, and running gait.

Are these shoes waterproof?

No, the Ghost 18 features a breathable mesh upper designed for airflow, not water resistance.

Does this model come in wide widths?

Brooks often produces variations of the Ghost series in wide widths; please check availability for your specific size and color preference.

Troubleshooting

Feeling pressure points on the top of the foot

Try a different lacing technique, such as the window lacing method, to relieve pressure on the bridge of the foot.

Excessive movement inside the shoe

Ensure your laces are tightened securely at the midfoot and utilize the last eyelet to create a runner's loop for a tighter heel lock.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptionally smooth and soft cushioning system
  • Durable outsole construction ideal for high-mileage training
  • Balanced support suitable for a wide range of neutral runners
  • Lightweight construction minimizes fatigue over long distances

Cons

  • Primarily optimized for road use rather than uneven off-road trails
  • Design aesthetic is focused on function over fashion
  • May feel less responsive to high-speed track sprinting compared to carbon-plated shoes

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Brooks Ghost 18 trainers, follow these guidelines:

  1. Sizing: Ensure you have a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe.
  2. Lacing: Use the eyelets to customize the lock-down across the midfoot, ensuring the tongue stays centered.
  3. Cleaning: Hand wash only using cold water and mild soap. Remove the insoles and let them air dry away from direct heat sources.
  4. Storage: Avoid leaving the shoes in hot cars or direct sunlight for extended periods, as this can degrade the foam cushioning properties.
  5. Rotation: If you run daily, consider rotating with a second pair to allow the foam to fully decompress and recover between sessions.
