Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Brooks Ghost 18 trainers, follow these guidelines:
- Breaking In: These shoes generally require minimal break-in time, but wearing them for short walks before long runs can help the foam adapt to your foot.
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. Hand wash using a mild soap and cold water. Air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent foam degradation.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid keeping them in damp gym bags for extended periods to prevent material breakdown.
- Replacement: Generally recommended to replace running shoes every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running style and surface conditions.
