Product Information
Full details
The Brooks Ghost 18 is designed for adult neutral runners and walkers seeking a dependable, cushioned shoe for daily use. It offers a soft, smooth ride powered by nitrogen-infused cushioning and a highly breathable upper, making it an excellent choice for long-distance training or everyday casual comfort. Note that while it provides exceptional comfort for neutral foot types, runners who require significant stability for overpronation may find the neutral platform lacks the targeted support they need.

FAQs
Are the Brooks Ghost 18 shoes suitable for overpronation?
The Ghost 18 is a neutral running shoe. If you have severe overpronation, you may require a stability-specific model from the Brooks line.
Can I use these for trail running?
While the RoadTack rubber is durable, the Ghost 18 is designed for road use. It may lack the aggressive lug depth required for technical, loose, or muddy trails.
How long should the cushioning last?
Generally, running shoes like the Ghost 18 are designed to maintain their performance characteristics for 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running style and surface conditions.
Does the upper material stretch over time?
The engineered mesh is designed to be adaptive. It will conform to your foot but is designed to maintain its structure and secure hold over the life of the shoe.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the OrthoLite sockliner is removable if you need to replace it with a custom orthotic insert.
Troubleshooting
Foot slippage or heel instability
Try the 'runner's loop' lacing technique to secure the heel cup more firmly against your ankle.
Tongue sliding to the side during runs
Ensure the lace is threaded through the loop on the center of the tongue to keep it centered.
Material buildup on the outsole
Use a small pick or soft brush to gently remove gravel or debris lodged in the outsole tread to maintain traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Brooks Ghost 18 trainers last as long as possible, follow these basic care instructions:
- Break-in Period: While comfortable out of the box, wear them for shorter periods during the first few days to allow the engineered mesh to conform perfectly to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush after your run. If they become heavily soiled, hand wash them with warm water and a mild detergent. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can break down the adhesives and the integrity of the foam cushioning.
- Air Dry: Always air dry your shoes away from direct sunlight or heat sources to prevent the materials from warping or degrading.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture buildup within the internal lining.
