Product Information
Full details
The Brooks Ghost Max 3 is designed for adult runners who prioritize long-distance comfort and joint protection through high-stack cushioning. Featuring the advanced DNA LOFT v3 technology, these trainers provide a soft, smooth, and highly stable ride for those with a neutral gait; however, the elevated stack height may feel too bulky for runners who prefer a ground-feel experience or extreme agility.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon training?
Yes, the high-stack DNA LOFT v3 cushioning is specifically designed to provide the support and comfort required for long-distance training.
What is the midsole drop on the Ghost Max 3?
The shoe features a 6mm midsole drop.
Can I use these for trail running?
These trainers are engineered for road running. While they can handle maintained gravel paths, they are not designed for technical, uneven trail terrain.
Are they suitable for someone who over-pronates?
The Ghost Max 3 is built for a neutral gait. If you have significant over-pronation, you may want to consult a specialist or consider a dedicated stability shoe.
How heavy is the Ghost Max 3?
Each shoe weighs approximately 313g.
How should I clean my Brooks trainers?
Use a soft brush to remove dirt, and wipe with a damp cloth. Never machine wash or put them in a tumble dryer.
Troubleshooting
Feeling instability on uneven surfaces
The wide base is designed for roads. Avoid uneven or technical off-road trails where the high stack height may increase the risk of ankle rolls.
Midsole foam feels less responsive
Check if the shoes have exceeded their expected lifespan (typically 300-500 miles), as the DNA LOFT v3 foam will eventually lose its compression properties.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Brooks Ghost Max 3, it is recommended to allow the foam to decompress for at least 24 hours between runs if you train daily. The shoes are built for neutral road runners; ensure you have confirmed your sizing (UK 9.5 for this variant) as the fit is designed to accommodate foot swelling during long runs. For cleaning, remove surface dirt with a soft brush, and use a damp cloth with mild soap for localized stains. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can degrade the integrity of the cushioning foam. Allow them to air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight.
