Product Information

Full details

The Brooks Ghost 18 trainers are designed for adult female runners seeking a soft, smooth, and dependable neutral road running experience. Their key benefit lies in the nitrogen-infused DNA LOFT v3 cushioning, offering exceptional comfort and shock absorption for daily miles, walking, or general fitness. A potential caveat is that while the fit is secure, some runners might prefer a wider toe box for longer distances. This updated model features a refreshed engineered mesh upper for improved breathability and a more adaptive fit, alongside a durable RoadTack rubber outsole for reliable traction.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What type of runner is the Brooks Ghost 18 best for?

The Brooks Ghost 18 is best for neutral runners seeking soft cushioning and a smooth ride for daily training, easy miles, walking, and general fitness. It is not designed for runners who need significant stability or motion control.

How does the cushioning feel?

The cushioning is provided by nitrogen-infused DNA LOFT v3, which is designed to be lightweight, soft, and responsive, offering excellent shock absorption and a comfortable feel for your feet.

Is the upper breathable?

Yes, the upper is made from a combination of triple jacquard engineered mesh and engineered air mesh, which promotes airflow and helps keep your feet cool and comfortable during runs.

Can I wear these for walking or other activities?

Absolutely. The comfort and cushioning of the Ghost 18 make them suitable for walking, everyday wear, and general fitness activities, in addition to road running.

Are these shoes suitable for wet weather running?

The RoadTack rubber outsole offers durable traction, but like most road running shoes, performance on very wet or slick surfaces can be reduced. They are suitable for running in light rain, but extreme conditions may impact grip.

What does 'vegan friendly' mean for these shoes?

Vegan friendly means that no animal products or by-products were used in the construction of the shoe.

How should I clean my Brooks Ghost 18 trainers?

Clean them gently with a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid machine washing or using harsh chemicals. Allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or restrictive

Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring they are not overtightened. If the issue persists, consider if a half-size larger or a wider fit option might be more suitable, although this model is designed for a secure, slightly snug fit.

Slight discomfort on the top of the foot

Adjust the position of the flat-knit tongue to ensure it lies smoothly and the laces are not digging in. Ensure the laces are not crossing over the most padded part of the tongue excessively.

Reduced grip on wet surfaces

The RoadTack rubber outsole provides durable grip, but like all road shoes, performance on extremely wet or slick surfaces can be reduced. Clean the outsole periodically to remove embedded debris that could affect traction.

Premature wear on the outsole

While made with durable RoadTack rubber, excessive wear can occur with frequent use on abrasive surfaces or if used for activities other than running and walking. Inspect wear patterns regularly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional softness and smooth ride for everyday running.
  • Lightweight and responsive cushioning enhances comfort over distance.
  • Breathable and adaptive upper provides a secure yet comfortable fit.
  • Durable outsole offers reliable traction on various road surfaces.
  • Sustainable materials used in the outsole construction.

Cons

  • May not offer sufficient support for runners needing stability control.
  • The fit, while secure, might feel slightly snug for those with wider feet.
  • The overall design is focused on comfort and may lack the aggressive feel for speedwork.
  • Durability of the mesh upper on rough terrain is yet to be fully tested.
  • Specific colorways and sizes can sell out quickly due to popularity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have chosen the correct UK size for an optimal fit. The laces can be adjusted to achieve a secure, personalized fit.

Compatibility:

  • Foot Type: Best suited for neutral pronators. Not recommended for runners requiring significant stability or motion control.
  • Terrain: Primarily designed for road surfaces, treadmills, and light trails. Excessive use on abrasive surfaces may reduce outsole longevity.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to remove dirt and debris from the upper and outsole. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Drying: Air dry the shoes at room temperature, away from direct heat sources such as radiators or sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape during drying.
  • Washing: Hand washing is recommended. Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the materials and construction.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
