Product Information
Full details
The Brooks Ghost 18 is a premier daily trainer designed for neutral runners seeking a reliable, balanced, and comfortable experience on road surfaces. It features advanced nitrogen-infused cushioning that adapts to your stride, making it ideal for everything from high-mileage training to casual daily walking; however, those requiring high-stability support for severe overpronation may find this neutral-oriented platform lacking the corrective structure they need.

FAQs
Is the Brooks Ghost 18 a neutral shoe?
Yes, it is designed for runners with a neutral gait who do not require specific stability or motion control features.
Can I use these for trail running?
While capable of handling light paths, they are optimized for road and pavement surfaces; the outsole is not designed for technical, rocky terrain.
What is the heel-to-toe drop?
The Ghost 18 has a standard 10mm drop.
How should I clean my Brooks trainers?
Clean them by hand using cold water and mild soap. Never use a washing machine or dryer.
Are these shoes good for walking?
Yes, their soft cushioning and supportive structure make them an excellent choice for daily walking and standing for long periods.
How often should I replace the Ghost 18?
Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your weight, running surface, and personal stride.
Troubleshooting
Heel slipping while running
Try the 'runner's loop' lacing technique to secure the ankle collar more firmly against your heel.
Foot feeling cramped
Loosen the laces across the midfoot, as the upper may tighten during runs due to foot swelling.
Accumulated dirt in mesh
Allow the mud to dry completely, then use a dry brush to gently sweep it out of the mesh fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, replace your insoles if you require custom orthotics, as the stock footbed is removable. For care, avoid machine washing your Ghost 18s; instead, use a soft brush to remove loose dirt after runs. If the shoes get wet, air dry them naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can damage the foam cushioning. Periodically check the outsole for signs of uneven wear to monitor your gait and determine when the shoe might need replacement, typically every 300 to 500 miles.
