Product Information
Full details
The Brooks Ghost Max 3 is designed for adult female runners seeking a high-cushion, protective experience on the road. With its significant stack height and unique rocker shape, it excels at smoothing out transitions from landing to toe-off while providing a stable, broad base for neutral runners. While the ample cushioning offers exceptional comfort, the slightly higher weight compared to minimalist racing shoes may be a consideration for those prioritizing speed over maximum impact protection.

How often should I replace these running shoes?

Troubleshooting
Foot feels unstable inside the shoe
Adjust the laces using the 'runner's loop' or heel-lock lacing technique to secure your foot within the heel counter.
Foam appears compressed after a few runs
Rotate your running shoes to allow the foam 24-48 hours to recover its structure and rebound properties between runs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance, verify your sizing before your first run; the Ghost Max 3 should provide roughly a thumb's width of space at the toes. These shoes are specifically engineered for road surfaces and are not intended for technical trail running or high-impact gym floor work. To care for your trainers, avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can degrade the foam composition. Instead, clean the exterior with a soft brush and mild soap, then allow them to air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight.
