Product Information
Full details
The Brooks Ghost Max 4 is designed for adult runners and walkers seeking maximum cushioning and superior impact protection. This trainer excels at providing a smooth, stable ride through its specialized rocker shape and wide base, making it an ideal choice for daily training or long-distance efforts. While it offers an incredibly plush feel and accommodates orthotics, runners seeking a lightweight or highly responsive racing shoe may find the substantial cushioning slightly bulkier than traditional performance trainers.

FAQs
Is the Ghost Max 4 suitable for flat feet?
Yes, its wide base and accommodating fit make it a strong candidate for those with flat feet, especially when paired with supportive orthotics.
Can I use these for marathon racing?
While durable enough for long distances, this shoe is designed for comfort and training rather than high-speed racing. Most runners prefer lighter models for race day.
What is the weight of this shoe?
The Ghost Max 4 weighs approximately 9.2oz / 260.8g.
How do I ensure the correct size?
Brooks shoes generally run true to size. Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe.
How often should I replace these trainers?
Most running shoes of this type should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your weight, surface, and gait.
Troubleshooting
Foot feels unstable on uneven terrain
Ensure your laces are tightened securely to lock the heel in place. If the issue persists, the shoe may be too high-stacked for technical trail use.
Orthotics causing pressure points
Double-check that the factory sockliner has been fully removed. Ensure your orthotic is positioned correctly within the heel cup.

- Accommodates custom orthotics easily
- Smooth heel-to-toe transition due to rocker shape
Cons

- Limited to neutral support profiles
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Brooks Ghost Max 4 remains in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in Period: While comfortable out of the box, wear them for shorter periods during the first 3-4 days to allow the midsole foam to adapt to your stride.
- Orthotic Setup: To insert custom orthotics, first remove the factory-installed sockliner. Ensure the orthotic lies flat against the lasting board before replacing your foot.
- Cleaning: Remove surface dirt with a soft-bristled brush. Hand wash with mild soap and cold water if necessary. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can degrade the cushioning materials.
- Air Drying: Always air dry the shoes away from direct sunlight or heat sources to preserve the structural integrity of the midsole foam.
