Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Brooks Ghost 18 trainers last as long as possible, follow these guidelines for care and maintenance:
- Initial Fit: When first trying the shoes, ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe.
- Lacing: Use the lace-up system to create a snug, yet comfortable hold. Avoid over-tightening the midfoot section, which can restrict blood flow.
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush after use. If deeper cleaning is needed, hand wash using mild soap and cool water. Never machine wash or put in a dryer, as heat can damage the cushioning materials.
- Air Dry: Always air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight to preserve the structural integrity of the rubber and mesh.
