Product Information
Full details
The Brooks Ghost Max 3 is designed for adult runners who prioritize plush cushioning and a stable, protected ride during daily road training. Featuring a super-stacked foam construction and advanced rocker geometry, this trainer excels at absorbing impact and facilitating effortless transitions. While its maximalist design offers superior comfort, runners seeking a lightweight or highly flexible racing shoe may find it too substantial for high-speed performance sprints.

FAQs
Is the Brooks Ghost Max 3 suitable for overpronation?
The Ghost Max 3 is categorized as a neutral shoe. While its broad base provides stability, it does not feature corrective posts for severe overpronation.
Can I use these for trail running?
These are optimized for road running. The outsole design is not intended for the technical terrain or grip requirements of off-road trail running.
What is the weight of the shoe?
The shoe weighs approximately 283.5g, which balances maximal cushioning with enough lightness for daily training.
Does this shoe feature a high heel drop?
The Ghost Max 3 features a 6mm heel-to-toe drop, which is considered a moderate drop that promotes a more natural foot strike.
How often should I replace these trainers?
Depending on your running frequency and surface, these trainers typically last between 300 to 500 miles before the foam loses its original protective properties.
Troubleshooting
Foot slippage or heel lift
Try the runner's loop (lace lock) lacing technique to better secure the ankle and prevent movement.
Foam feels stiff in cold temperatures
Allow the shoes to sit in a room-temperature environment for an hour before running; the DNA LOFT v3 foam performs best in moderate climates.

- May feel less responsive during high-intensity speed work
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Ghost Max 3, it is important to properly lace the shoes to secure the midfoot without restricting blood flow. If you use custom orthotics, the internal depth is generally sufficient to accommodate most inserts by removing the provided sock liner. To clean, wipe away excess dirt with a soft brush and use a damp cloth with mild, non-detergent soap. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally; do not place them in a clothes dryer or near a direct heat source, as high heat can compromise the integrity of the foam cushioning.
