FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for trail running?
These trainers are specifically optimized for road running. While they may handle groomed paths, they lack the rock plates and aggressive lug patterns required for technical trails.
How do I know if the UK 6 size is correct?
Your foot should feel secure in the midfoot with enough wiggle room in the toe box. If you feel pinching or numbness, you may require a different width or size.
Can I use orthotic insoles with these shoes?
Yes, the provided sockliner is removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics if needed.
What is the primary difference between the Ghost Max 3 and standard Ghost series?
The Ghost Max 3 features a higher stack height and more significant foam volume compared to the standard Ghost, prioritizing maximum cushioning over traditional road-shoe feel.
How often should I replace the Ghost Max 3?
It is generally recommended to replace running shoes every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and biomechanics.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of pressure on the top of the foot
Adjust your lacing pattern to a 'window lacing' style to relieve pressure points over the midfoot.
Outsole debris buildup
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove small rocks or gravel stuck in the traction grooves after road use.
Midsole foam feels 'dead' or compressed
Check if the shoes have exceeded their recommended mileage (typically 300-500 miles) and ensure they are given enough recovery time between uses.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Brooks Ghost Max 3 trainers, follow these guidelines:
- Sizing: Ensure a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to account for foot swelling during long runs.
- Lacing: Use the top eyelet for a 'runner's lock' if you experience heel slippage.
- Cleaning: Hand wash only using lukewarm water and a mild detergent. Remove the sockliner to clean separately.
- Drying: Air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators or direct sunlight, which can warp the foam and compromise the adhesives.
- Rotation: Allow the midsole foam at least 24 hours to decompress between runs to extend the overall lifespan of the cushioning.
