FAQs
Is the Brooks Ghost 18 a stability shoe?
No, the Ghost 18 is a neutral shoe designed for runners who do not require specific stability or motion control features.
Can I use these for marathon training?
Yes, the Ghost 18 is designed as a reliable high-mileage trainer and is suitable for marathon training blocks.
How often should I replace my Ghost 18s?
Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and body weight.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the Ghost 18 features an engineered mesh upper designed for maximum breathability, which allows water to pass through.
Is the Ghost 18 suitable for trail running?
While the RoadTack rubber provides good grip on roads, it is not optimized for technical trails, loose dirt, or muddy conditions.
Troubleshooting
Upper mesh feels tight after a long run
Adjust your lacing pattern to provide more room in the forefoot, or ensure you are not wearing overly thick socks.
Slipping inside the shoe
Ensure the heel is securely locked in place and consider using a 'runner's loop' or heel-lock lacing technique.
Outer sole debris accumulation
Use a toothpick or stiff brush to clear small rocks or debris trapped in the outsole lug patterns to maintain traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance from your Brooks Ghost 18, ensure you are wearing the correct size; the engineered mesh is designed to accommodate slight natural swelling during exercise. For maintenance, avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can degrade the foam and glue structures. Instead, use a soft brush to remove dried mud and a damp cloth with mild soap for surface stains. Always air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators. If the OrthoLite sockliner becomes saturated with sweat, remove it to air dry separately to maintain freshness.
