Full details
The Brooks Ghost 18 is an ideal choice for neutral runners and walkers seeking a dependable, cushioned shoe for daily use.

FAQs
Is the Brooks Ghost 18 a stability shoe?
No, the Ghost 18 is a neutral running shoe designed for runners who do not require specific arch support or stability features.
Can I use these for trail running?
While the RoadTack outsole is durable, these shoes are specifically engineered for road surfaces and may not provide enough traction or protection for technical trails.
How often should I replace my Ghost 18s?
Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running style, surface usage, and weight.
What is the primary material in the cushioning?
The Ghost 18 uses nitrogen-infused DNA LOFT v3 cushioning for a soft, responsive ride.
Are the materials in the outsole environmentally friendly?
Yes, the RoadTack rubber outsole is manufactured using recycled silica, contributing to more sustainable production practices.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure on the top of the foot
Loosen the lacing over the bridge of the foot; the flat-knit tongue is designed to distribute pressure, but excessive tightness can cause discomfort.
Slipping inside the shoe
Ensure you are using the correct size and try a 'runner's loop' or 'heel lock' lacing technique to secure your foot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance from your Brooks Ghost 18, start by adjusting the laces to match your preferred tension across the midfoot to leverage the engineered mesh. The shoes are compatible with standard and custom orthotics if you prefer additional arch support. For maintenance, clean the shoes using a soft-bristled brush to remove dried mud and debris from the outsole. Hand wash using mild soap and cold water, then air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent damage to the foam midsole and adhesive bonds. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can degrade the specialized materials.
