Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics if preferred.
What is the primary benefit of the Ghost Max 4?
The primary benefit is the combination of superior impact cushioning and a stable, smooth ride.
How often should I replace these trainers?
Generally, running trainers should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your weight, stride, and the terrain you run on.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, these trainers are designed for breathability and are not categorized as waterproof or water-resistant.
Troubleshooting
Foot feels slightly cramped during long runs
Try adjusting the lacing pattern to be looser across the midfoot or ensure you are wearing appropriate athletic socks.
The shoe feels stiffer than expected
All new trainers require a short break-in period; wear them for shorter durations for the first 3-5 days to allow the foam to conform to your stride.
Visible dirt accumulation on the upper material
Gently wipe the area with a damp microfiber cloth and air dry in a shaded, well-ventilated spot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Brooks Ghost Max 4 trainers, it is essential to focus on proper fit and maintenance. Since these shoes are sized for adults, ensure you allow for the natural expansion of your feet throughout the day by leaving a small amount of space in the toe box. For care, avoid machine washing or drying, as this can break down the adhesives and foam integrity. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried mud and a damp cloth with mild soap for surface stains. Store the shoes in a cool, dry area away from direct heat sources to prevent the midsole foam from degrading prematurely.
