help Brooks Ghost 18 FAQ
How does the DNA LOFT v3 cushioning in the Ghost 18 differ from the Ghost 15 and 16?
The DNA LOFT v3 in the Ghost 18 uses a nitrogen-infused midsole foam that is noticeably softer and lighter than the previous EVA-based DNA LOFT found in the Ghost 15 and 16. Runners report a plusher underfoot feel while still maintaining the neutral, balanced ride the Ghost line is known for.
Is the Brooks Ghost 18 good for long-distance running like half marathons?
Yes, the Ghost 18's combination of DNA LOFT v3 cushioning and a relatively high stack height makes it well suited for longer efforts including half marathons. It is not a max-stack super shoe like the Brooks Glycerin 21, but many neutral runners appreciate its dependable comfort over double-digit mileage.
How much does the Brooks Ghost 18 weigh?
The men's Ghost 18 weighs approximately 10.2 ounces in a size 9, while the women's version comes in around 8.9 ounces in a size 8. This puts it squarely in the mid-range for daily trainers—neither featherlight nor heavy.
Does the Ghost 18 run true to size or do I need to size up?
Most reviewers find the Ghost 18 fits true to size with a medium-volume toe box similar to prior Ghost models. Runners with very wide feet may want to explore the available 2E wide option rather than automatically sizing up.
