Brooks Ghost 18

“18 is very similar to 17. A bit wider in the front which is good, the upper is different, the rest is supposedly the same. I personally still think they are a bit firmer than 17”

“the 18s specifically made the medium felt like a narrow. I don't know what they are doing with this shoe model, but it keeps feeling worse and worse to me.”

“I have the 18s, and I think they’re a big improvement over the 17 fit-wise. Toebox feels like it should, and the new tongue design locks the foot down better and prevents the heel slipping problem.”

“I did get the wide length ones and they feel fine and roomy in the toes but yeah that ankle part doesn't seem wide enough and is definitely bothering me.”

“The Ghosts are SO comfortable (that padded tongue is so nice) but I felt so close to the ground with little response so I feel like my legs would take a beating after 15-20km.”

“They are softer than the 17s, and roomier in the toe box. And yeah, it’s the same foam as the Glycerin, just not as much. They’re more grounded.”

“They’re light and flat. They do look thick in the picture. The tongue is more sock-like if you know what I mean so the laces need so structure”

“Shock absorption through the heel is excellent, and the ride stays consistent rather than breaking down or feeling mushy as the miles add up.”

“I didn’t have that problem until I put these on last night. It was instant too so I don’t know what my cause is. They don’t feel any tighter than my NB.”

“The toe box was also structurally narrow, and the combination of the two features caused multiple blisters during the long run.”

“Ghost 18 size10 M feels slightly roomier than Ghost17 but not much of a change. Other reviews I read talked about 18 being roomier but I feel misled thinking it might be more like the Ghost15. The floppy thin tongue of Ghost18 is a turnoff”

“I bought the 18s and I love them. I’m a woman with wide flat feet. I bought 11.5 2E and my feet feel so good walking in them.”

“the 18s definitely have just a smidge wider toe box near where the pinky and small toes would sit”

“The 18's are definitly wider than the 17's, ive got both in 4e and the 18's are a much better fit than the 17s.”

“I bought the 18s and went for a walk tonight. I have pretty low arches so ymmv, but the instep of my foot was killing me by the end, a severe ache like I feel in ski boots sometimes. I couldn’t wait to get home. Definitely disappointed!”

“I had the same exact issue. I’ve worn a couple different Ghosts with no issues. I switched to glycerin without issues”

“The brand-new Brooks Ghost 18 delivers a nice, firm ride yet remains comfortable at the end of the day.”

“I found the regular width ghost 18 to be much wider than the ghost 17.”

“I thought ghost 18 is much narrower than ghost 15.”

“The DNA Loft V3 midsole runs on the firmer side, but is certainly protective enough for most outings.”

“Ghost 18 are so firm for being on ur feet for long hours you might want to try a bondi from Hoka or the Clifton”

“I find them to be quite firm and am questioning if I'm going to keep running in them. They feel clunky to me.”

“Definitely fit more narrow around middle of foot.”

“the 18's toe box is wider and the heel cup is more secure compared to the 17.”
