Product Information
Full details
The Brooks Ghost 18 is designed for neutral runners and walkers seeking a reliable, balanced everyday trainer. It delivers a consistently smooth ride with plush cushioning that remains comfortable for high-mileage training or daily activity. While the shoe offers excellent support and durability, users should note that the 10mm midsole drop provides a more traditional, heel-strike focused geometry that may not suit those looking for a minimalist or zero-drop experience.

FAQs
Is the Brooks Ghost 18 suitable for flat feet?
The Ghost 18 is a neutral trainer, meaning it provides balanced support rather than targeted overpronation correction, which works well for many with mild arch variations.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
Yes, they provide sufficient cushioning for treadmill running and general gym use, though they are optimized for forward-motion running rather than lateral-heavy sports.
How long should a pair of Ghost 18s last?
Generally, running shoes like the Ghost 18 retain their protective cushioning properties for between 300 and 500 miles, depending on your weight, surface, and running form.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the Ghost 18 features an engineered mesh upper designed for maximum breathability, which will allow water to pass through in heavy rain.
Does the 10mm drop affect my stride?
The 10mm drop encourages a heel-to-toe transition, which is standard for most everyday trainers and provides a supportive landing zone.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure points on the top of the foot
Try an alternative lacing pattern, such as skipping the eyelet where the pressure occurs, or loosen the laces near the midfoot.
Increased slipping on wet surfaces
Check the outsole for lodged debris or gravel in the treads; clear any obstructions to restore the grip of the RoadTack rubber.
Heel lifting while walking or running
Use the final eyelet to create a lockdown lace-lock to secure the heel cup firmly against the ankle.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience with your Ghost 18 trainers, ensure you have the correct size; the fit should be snug but not restrictive, with roughly a thumb's width of space at the toe. When tying your laces, use the extra eyelet for a 'runner's loop' if you experience heel slippage. For care, avoid putting these shoes in the washing machine or dryer. Instead, wipe away surface mud with a damp cloth and mild soap. If the inside gets wet, remove the sockliner and stuff the shoe with newspaper to absorb moisture, allowing them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can degrade the cushioning materials.
