Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Brooks Ghost 18 trainers, keep the following in mind:
- Break-in Period: While they are comfortable out of the box, perform a few shorter walks or runs to allow the foam to adapt to your specific gait.
- Compatibility: Best paired with standard neutral running socks. If you use custom orthotics, the internal volume is generally accommodating, though you may need to remove the factory sock liner.
- Cleaning: Hand wash with mild soap and cold water. Remove the insoles to clean separately.
- Drying: Air dry only. Do not place shoes in a clothes dryer or near a direct heat source, as high heat can degrade the DNA LOFT v3 foam and cause the upper materials to warp.
