Product Information

Full details

The Brooks Ghost 18 Trainers in Black (UK 6.5) are designed for adult female runners seeking a soft, smooth, and dependable neutral road running experience. Their key benefit lies in the nitrogen-infused DNA LOFT v3 cushioning, offering superior shock absorption and comfort for daily training and general fitness. A potential caveat is that while the fit is accommodating, it is described as slightly snug, so runners may want to consider their usual preference for a more relaxed fit.

FAQs

Are the Brooks Ghost 18 suitable for marathon training?

Yes, the generous cushioning and smooth ride make the Ghost 18 well-suited for the demands of marathon training, especially for daily mileage and longer runs where comfort is prioritized.

Can I wear these shoes for cross-training or gym workouts?

While the Ghost 18 provides excellent comfort for walking and general fitness, its design is optimized for forward motion in running. For activities requiring lateral stability, dedicated cross-training shoes might be more appropriate.

How do I know if the neutral support is right for me?

Neutral shoes are best for runners whose feet do not roll excessively inward (overpronate) or outward (supinate) upon landing. If you have a relatively neutral foot strike, this shoe should work well.

What does 'nitrogen-infused' mean for the cushioning?

Nitrogen infusion in the DNA LOFT v3 foam creates a lighter, softer, and more responsive cushioning compound. It helps maintain its cushioning properties over a longer lifespan compared to traditional foams.

Are these shoes waterproof?

No, the Brooks Ghost 18 trainers feature engineered mesh uppers for breathability and are not waterproof. They are designed for dry conditions. For wet weather, consider waterproof running shoes or gaiters.

What is the main difference between the Ghost 18 and previous versions?

The Ghost 18 features an updated engineered mesh upper for improved fit and breathability, along with refinements to the DNA LOFT v3 cushioning and the RoadTack rubber outsole for enhanced comfort, durability, and sustainability.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or restrictive.

Ensure your socks are not too thick. If the snugness persists, consider if a half-size larger might be more comfortable for your foot shape. The flat-knit tongue can be adjusted for comfort.

Reduced cushioning or responsiveness.

Over time, cushioning can naturally decrease. Ensure the shoes haven't been exposed to excessive heat or improper cleaning methods. For significant degradation, replacement may be necessary.

Poor traction on wet surfaces.

While the RoadTack outsole offers good grip, very wet conditions can challenge any shoe. Ensure the outsole is free of debris. For extreme wetness, running at a slower pace may be advisable.

Breathable and adaptive upper provides a secure yet comfortable fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These running shoes require no specific setup. Simply put them on and go. It is recommended to wear them with appropriate running socks for optimal comfort and to prevent chafing.

Compatibility: The Ghost 18 is a neutral running shoe, making it compatible with a wide range of foot types, particularly those that do not overpronate significantly. They are designed for road running surfaces.

Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your Brooks Ghost 18 trainers:

Cleaning: Clean the shoes after use with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and water solution. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials.
Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer.
Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
Socks: Always wear clean socks to help keep the interior of the shoes fresh and reduce odor.
