- Is the Ghost 18 good for beginners?
- Yes. It is a neutral, well-cushioned daily trainer with a stable ride, which makes it forgiving for new runners building mileage.
- How does it compare with the Ghost 17?
- The 18 keeps the same neutral fit and 10 mm drop with a refined upper and midsole. Runners who liked the 17 will feel at home; those wanting a lighter shoe may not notice much change.
- Can I use it for speed work?
- It can handle strides and light tempo, but the weight and soft EVA foam make it better suited to easy and long runs than intervals or racing.
- What is the drop and weight?
- It has a 10 mm heel-to-toe drop and weighs about 10.2 oz in men's sizes.
- Does it come in wide sizes?
- This version is listed in normal D width only, so runners needing wide or narrow fits should check other Ghost 18 options.
- Is it waterproof?
- No. This is the standard knit and mesh version without Gore-Tex, so it is breathable but not water-resistant.
