FAQs

Ghost Amp or Ghost 18?
The Ghost Amp is lighter and bouncier with a 6 mm drop. The Ghost 18 is softer and more traditional with a 10 mm drop.

Can I use it every day?
Yes. Brooks designed it as a lightweight daily trainer that also handles tempo runs.

Is it a race shoe?
It’s a lively trainer rather than a plated racer, but it’s great for parkrun and casual races.

Care

Brush off dirt and wipe with a damp cloth. Air-dry away from direct heat. Don’t put them in the washing machine or dryer.
