FAQs

What type of runner is the Brooks Ghost 18 best suited for?

The Brooks Ghost 18 is a neutral road running shoe ideal for runners of all levels, from beginners to experienced athletes, who need a soft, cushioned, and smooth ride for daily training, easy miles, and walking.

How does the cushioning feel in the Ghost 18?

The Ghost 18 features nitrogen-infused DNA LOFT v3 cushioning, which is designed to be soft, lightweight, and responsive, providing excellent shock absorption without feeling overly mushy.

Is the upper breathable?

Yes, the updated engineered mesh upper, including triple jacquard and air mesh, is designed for breathability to help keep your feet cool and comfortable during your run.

What is the difference between this model and previous Ghost versions?

The Ghost 18 features an updated engineered mesh upper for improved fit and breathability, along with the new nitrogen-infused DNA LOFT v3 cushioning for enhanced softness and responsiveness. The outsole also uses RoadTack rubber with recycled silica.

What is the heel-to-toe drop of the Brooks Ghost 18?

The heel-to-toe offset for the Brooks Ghost 18 is 10mm.

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The Ghost 18 offers a secure, slightly snug fit that accommodates a range of foot shapes. While it aims for versatility, individuals with very wide feet might find them more comfortable in a dedicated wide (2E or 4E) sizing if available.

Can I use these shoes for trail running?

The Ghost 18 is primarily designed for road running. While they might handle light, well-maintained trails, they lack the aggressive tread and specific support features needed for technical off-road terrain.

What does 'Vegan Friendly' mean for these shoes?

Vegan friendly means that no animal products or animal-derived byproducts are used in the construction of the shoe.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable

Ensure you have the correct size. If the fit is still snug, try lacing them with a different pattern or consider if your foot shape requires a wider model (if available).

Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time

Cushioning naturally degrades with mileage. The Ghost 18's DNA LOFT v3 is durable, but consider replacement after 300-500 miles depending on usage and impact.

Poor traction on wet surfaces

The RoadTack rubber outsole offers good grip, but performance on extremely wet or slick surfaces can vary. Clean the outsole of debris for optimal contact.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides a consistently soft and smooth ride.
  • Excellent shock absorption thanks to DNA LOFT v3 cushioning.
  • Breathable upper enhances comfort during runs.
  • Durable outsole with good traction on road surfaces.
  • Accommodates a range of foot shapes with a secure fit.

Cons

  • May feel slightly snug for those preferring a very roomy fit.
  • Primarily designed for road running; performance on trails may vary.
  • As a neutral shoe, it may not be suitable for runners needing stability support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Brooks Ghost 18 Trainers are designed for immediate use right out of the box. There is no specific setup required beyond ensuring you have the correct size.

Compatibility: These shoes are neutral trainers, best suited for road running, walking, and general fitness activities. They are compatible with most running socks and apparel.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Use a damp cloth to wipe down the exterior. For deeper cleaning, hand wash with cold water and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or using harsh detergents.
  2. Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape during drying.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in very hot or wet environments.
