About this product
The Brooks Ghost 18 GTX is a waterproof neutral road shoe built for daily runs, walking, and wet-weather miles. It pairs the familiar Ghost ride with a GORE-TEX® layer, soft DNA LOFT v3 cushioning, wet-traction grip, and reflective details for everyday versatility when conditions turn messy.
