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 is the nitrogen-infused DNA LOFT v3 cushioning, offering excellent shock absorption and a natural transition. A potential caveat for some users may be the slightly snug fit, which, while accommodating, is designed to be secure. This guide covers the product's features, performance, setup, care, and troubleshooting.

FAQs

Are the Brooks Ghost 18 suitable for marathon running?

Yes, the Ghost 18's superior cushioning and smooth ride make it well-suited for marathon distances and long-distance training.

How do I know if I need a neutral shoe like the Ghost 18?

Neutral shoes are for runners with a normal arch and foot landing pattern. If your foot strikes evenly and doesn't roll excessively inward (pronation), a neutral shoe is likely appropriate. If you overpronate, you may need a stability shoe.

Can I wear these shoes for gym workouts?

While primarily designed for running, the comfort and support of the Ghost 18 make them suitable for general fitness activities and lighter gym workouts. For heavy weightlifting, a more stable shoe might be preferable.

What does 'offset' mean in the tech details (10mm)?

The offset, or heel-to-toe drop, is the difference in height between the heel and the forefoot. A 10mm offset is a moderate drop, common in many running shoes, promoting a balanced feel.

How do I clean the engineered mesh upper?

Use a soft brush or damp cloth with mild soap and water to gently clean the mesh. Rinse with clean water and allow to air dry.

What is the benefit of the recycled silica in the outsole?

Using recycled silica in the RoadTack rubber outsole contributes to a more sustainable manufacturing process by reducing the reliance on virgin materials, while still providing durable traction.

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, the Brooks Ghost 18 is designed to be true to size. It offers a secure fit that accommodates various foot shapes.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or restrictive.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks. If the fit remains too snug, consider if a wider width is needed for future purchases or try adjusting the lacing pattern.

Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time.

The cushioning of running shoes naturally degrades with use. For optimal performance and comfort, it's generally recommended to replace running shoes after 300-500 miles (approx. 480-800 km).

Slipping on wet surfaces.

While the RoadTack rubber outsole offers durable traction, extremely wet or slick surfaces can reduce grip. Exercise caution in such conditions.

Upper material seems less breathable than expected.

Ensure the mesh vents are not blocked by debris. Periodically clean the shoes as per care instructions.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional softness and smooth ride from the DNA LOFT v3 cushioning.
  • Breathable and adaptable upper for a secure, comfortable fit.
  • Durable outsole with good traction, made with sustainable materials.
  • Versatile for various running types, walking, and everyday comfort.
  • Vegan-friendly construction appeals to a wider audience.

Cons

  • May feel slightly snug for those with very wide feet.
  • Primarily designed for road running; performance on trails may be limited.
  • As a neutral shoe, it may not provide sufficient support for overpronators.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size (UK 7 in this case). The fit is designed to be true to size with a secure feel.

Compatibility: The Brooks Ghost 18 is a neutral road running shoe. It is compatible with most standard running socks. It is not designed for technical trail running due to its outsole tread pattern.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Gently clean the exterior with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid harsh detergents or soaking the shoes.
  2. 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.
  3. Laundering: It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
