FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Brooks Ghost MAX 4 is designed with a standard trainer fit, but the mesh upper provides some flexibility to accommodate different foot shapes.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, it is recommended to hand clean them with mild soap and water. Machine washing can damage the adhesive and structural foam.
How often should I replace these trainers?
Typically, performance trainers like the Ghost MAX 4 should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running style and surface conditions.
Are these shoes best for road or trail?
These are designed primarily for road running and gym environments. They may lack the specific grip required for technical off-road trails.
Is the Ghost MAX 4 lighter than previous versions?
The series focuses on maintaining a balance between maximum cushioning and lightweight materials to improve overall runner performance.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort or pressure points on the top of the foot
Adjust the lace tightness to ensure even pressure distribution or try a different lacing technique like 'window lacing' over the sore area.
Accumulated dirt causing loss of traction
Use a soft-bristled brush to clean the treads of the outsole, ensuring you remove all grit and small rocks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Brooks Ghost MAX 4 trainers last as long as possible, follow these basic care guidelines. Always allow your shoes to air dry naturally after runs, specifically if they become damp from sweat or rain, avoiding direct heat sources like radiators. To clean, use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and water, ensuring you remove debris from the outsole to maintain traction. For setup, simply loosen the laces to your comfort preference to ensure your midfoot is secure without cutting off circulation, and verify that you have enough room in the toe box for natural swelling that occurs during exercise.
