Using the Men's Brooks Ghost 16 is easy. Just lace them up and you're ready to hit the road. Whether you're going for a casual walk or a serious run, these shoes will provide the comfort you need. When wearing them, make sure the laces are tightened properly to get the best fit. As for maintenance, it's a good idea to clean them regularly. You can use a soft brush and mild soap to gently clean the upper part. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the material. Also, let them air - dry naturally instead of using a dryer. If you notice any signs of wear and tear, like the sole starting to thin out, it might be time to consider getting a new pair.
