Brooks GHOST 18 Men’s Running Shoes
The Brooks Ghost 18 Men's Running Shoes are designed for runners who want dependable comfort for daily training, road running and walking. Suitable for beginners through to experienced runners, they deliver soft cushioning and balanced support that stays consistent from your first kilometre to your last.
Whether you're building weekly mileage, heading out for a recovery run or spending long hours on your feet, the Ghost 18 provides a smooth, comfortable ride on sealed roads and footpaths.
Reliable Comfort Every Run
The latest Ghost 18 builds on one of Brooks' most trusted running shoes with updated cushioning and a more refined upper. DNA LOFT v3 midsole technology delivers soft landings while remaining responsive through toe off, helping reduce impact without feeling overly soft.
The redesigned upper features a new flat knit tongue with a pillowy construction that sits comfortably across the top of the foot and helps minimise pressure from the laces. A new two colour air mesh upper improves airflow to keep your feet cooler, while the cushioned sockliner adds comfort from the moment you put the shoes on.
With a 10 mm heel to toe drop and a weight of just 260.8 g, the Ghost 18 offers a balanced ride that suits neutral runners with medium to high arches. It performs best on sealed roads, shared paths and paved urban surfaces in both training and everyday walking.

Cushioning
-
The Brooks Ghost offers soft, balanced cushioning that absorbs the impact against the ground. The more cushioning utilised, the softer a shoe will feel underfoot.
Neutral Support
-
Normal sized Arches.
-
During push off there is an even distribution from the front of the foot.
-
The foot lands on the outside of the heel, then rolls inward to absorb the shock and support body weight.
Drop
-
The difference from the heel of the shoe to the forefoot.
-
Shoes with a higher heel drop tend to be preferred by runners that land heel-first.
-
Shoes with a lower heel drop are often favoured by forefoot or midfoot strikers.
