Full details
The Brooks Ghost Max 4 is a premier trainer designed for adult runners and walkers seeking maximum cushioning and structural support. It excels at providing a smooth, protective stride through a unique rocker geometry and a wide, stable base, making it an excellent choice for daily training or recovery sessions. While it offers superior comfort and space for custom orthotics, users should note that its maximalist construction may feel bulkier compared to lightweight racing flats.

FAQs
Are the Ghost Max 4 trainers good for wide feet?
Yes, the Ghost Max 4 is designed with an accommodating fit and a wide base, providing more internal volume than traditional narrow training shoes.
Can I use these for marathon training?
Yes, their durable cushioning and support make them excellent for the long-distance volume required in marathon training.
Are these shoes stable for overpronators?
The wide base provides inherent stability, but those requiring specific motion control should consult with a specialist to see if these meet their specific needs.
How do I clean the mesh upper?
Use a damp cloth and mild soap. Gently scrub the mesh, then rinse with a clean damp cloth and allow to air dry.
Is the rocker shape noticeable when walking?
Yes, many users report a rolling sensation that makes walking and transitioning from heel to toe feel smoother and less strenuous.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of excess space in the midfoot
Try using a runner's loop (heel lock lacing) to secure the midfoot and heel more firmly against the footbed.
Orthotics causing pressure points
Ensure the stock insole has been completely removed before inserting your custom orthotics to prevent layering.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience with your Ghost Max 4, ensure you have correctly identified your size, as the accommodating fit is spacious. When using custom orthotics, remove the stock Brooks sockliner entirely before inserting your personal orthotic device to maintain the intended volume and support profile. To keep your trainers in optimal condition, clean them with a soft brush and mild soap to remove dirt. Always air dry your shoes in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can degrade the midsole foam technology.
