Product Information
Full details
The Brooks Ghost Max 4 is designed for adult male runners seeking a high-cushion, protective experience for daily road training. Its standout feature is the combination of a high-stack midsole and a signature rocker shape, which works together to absorb impact and facilitate smooth heel-to-toe transitions. While the shoe provides exceptional comfort and stability through its broad base, users should note that the substantial cushioning results in a heavier, more structured profile that may not suit those looking for a lightweight, minimalist racing flat.

FAQs
Are the Ghost Max 4 shoes suitable for marathon training?
Yes, their high-stack cushioning and durability make them well-suited for high-mileage training blocks, especially on road surfaces.
Does this shoe offer stability or neutral support?
The Ghost Max 4 is a neutral shoe that uses a broad base and rocker geometry to provide inherent stability rather than corrective posts.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, it is recommended to clean them by hand with warm water and a mild soap to preserve the structural integrity of the foam and adhesives.
How long should the outsole last?
While mileage varies based on running surface and gait, the durable road-ready rubber is designed to maintain traction for several hundred miles.
Is the Ghost Max 4 good for wide feet?
The design features a broad base and a secure, accommodating upper, but if you have extremely wide feet, it is recommended to look for specific 'wide' designated versions if available.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure on top of the foot
Try adjusting the lacing pattern to a 'window' lacing style to relieve tension over the bridge of the foot.
Heel slippage while running
Utilize the extra eyelet at the top of the shoe to perform a runner's loop or heel lock to create a more secure seal around the ankle.
Debris getting trapped in the outsole
Use a small tool or stiff brush to clear out the tread channels after running on gravel or unpaved paths to prevent damage to the outsole rubber.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance from your Brooks Ghost Max 4, ensure you are wearing the correct size to allow for natural toe splay; the secure fit means you should not need to overtighten the laces, which could cause pressure points. Compatibility with custom orthotics is high, as the internal volume is generous, though the stock sockliner should be removed first. For care, keep the shoes away from heat sources like radiators to prevent midsole material degradation. If they become wet, stuff the interior with newspaper to draw out moisture and allow them to air dry naturally in a cool, ventilated area. Regularly remove dirt from the outsole tread using a soft brush to maintain grip effectiveness.
