Product Information
Full details
The Brooks Ghost 18 trainers are designed for adult runners and walkers seeking a reliable, daily-use shoe that balances soft cushioning with stable support. Featuring nitrogen-infused DNA LOFT v3 foam and a durable RoadTack outsole, they provide a responsive experience for middle-to-long distance training; however, users should note that they are specifically optimized for road surfaces rather than technical trail environments.

FAQs
Are the Brooks Ghost 18 suitable for flat feet?
The Ghost series is a neutral trainer. While it provides excellent support and cushioning, those with severe overpronation may require a stability-specific model.
Can these be used for trail running?
These trainers are designed specifically for road surfaces. The RoadTack outsole may not provide sufficient grip on loose, technical, or muddy trail terrain.
How often should I replace my Ghost 18s?
It is generally recommended to replace running shoes every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running style, weight, and the surfaces you frequent.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if required for your specific biomechanical needs.
Is the upper material water-resistant?
No, the mesh upper is designed for maximum breathability and ventilation, meaning it is not waterproof and will allow water through during heavy rain.
How do I choose the right size?
It is recommended to select a size that leaves roughly a half-inch of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to account for foot expansion.
Troubleshooting
Foot feels tight or pressured during runs
Try adjusting the lacing technique to a 'runner's loop' or looser pattern; ensure you are wearing appropriate running-specific socks.
Visible wear on the outsole after minimal use
Check your running gait for heavy heel striking or dragging and ensure you are primarily running on appropriate smooth, paved surfaces.
Mesh upper is holding dirt or odors
Use a specialized sneaker cleaner or mild soap with a soft-bristled brush to gently clean the mesh; ensure they are completely air-dried before the next use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Brooks Ghost 18 trainers last through their expected lifespan, proper care is essential. When you receive your shoes, ensure a 'thumb-width' of space in the toe box to accommodate natural foot swelling during runs. For routine cleaning, remove excess dirt with a soft brush after your workout. If the shoes become muddy, hand-wash them using a mild detergent and cold water, then air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, to prevent damage to the foam structure. Never machine wash or tumble dry your trainers, as the heat can degrade the adhesive and foam properties.
