Using the Women's Brooks Ghost 16 is a breeze. Just slip your feet in and start your road running or walking activity. For best results, make sure your feet are clean and dry before putting on the shoes. When it comes to maintenance, you can use a soft brush or cloth to gently clean the dirt off the shoes. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the materials. Also, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Remember, these shoes are designed for road use, so try not to use them on extremely rough or uneven terrains to keep them in good condition.
