Brand specifications

The shoe at a glance.

The Ghost 18 is an everyday road trainer with balanced DNA Loft cushioning for regular mileage. It makes the most sense for runners who want a conventional daily-training role and do not need their shoe to feel especially lively. Rebound is limited, which reduces its appeal for anyone seeking a bouncy sensation during quicker running. Length generally fits true to size and the overall interior is medium in width, but the toe box tapers; standard, wide and extra-wide versions give you options without guaranteeing unrestricted toe spread.
