Product Information
Full details
The Brooks Ghost MAX 4 trainers are designed for adult male runners seeking a blend of high-level cushioning and reliable stability for daily training. These shoes excel at providing impact absorption during long-distance efforts, making them a great choice for neutral runners who prioritize comfort. While they offer excellent support and ventilation, users should note that the maximum cushioning profile provides a distinct, plush underfoot feel that may take a few runs to acclimate to if you are accustomed to firmer racing shoes.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for trail running?
The Brooks Ghost MAX 4 is optimized for road and pavement running. While they may handle light gravel paths, they lack the aggressive lugs required for technical trails.
How often should I replace my Ghost MAX 4 trainers?
Generally, running shoes lose their cushioning effectiveness between 300 and 500 miles, depending on your running surface and weight.
Can I use my own orthotic insoles with these shoes?
Yes, the insole is removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if necessary.
Are these shoes true to size?
Brooks generally fits true to size, but we recommend measuring your feet in the evening when they are slightly swollen for the most accurate fit.
Does the mesh upper provide enough warmth for winter?
The mesh is designed for breathability, meaning it is excellent for summer but may feel cool during very cold winter days unless paired with thermal socks.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of slippage in the heel
Try the 'runner's loop' lacing technique to increase tension around the ankle collar.
Shoes becoming damp inside during runs
Ensure you are using synthetic, moisture-wicking socks rather than cotton, which holds onto sweat.
Dirt buildup on the mesh upper
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dried mud; avoid scrubbing hard to protect the mesh integrity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Brooks Ghost MAX 4 trainers last as long as possible, follow these basic care guidelines. Always lace the shoes up firmly but comfortably; do not over-tighten, as this can restrict blood flow and put unnecessary pressure on the laces. For compatibility, these trainers work best with standard running socks that feature moisture-wicking properties. When cleaning, avoid using a washing machine or dryer. Instead, remove surface dirt with a soft brush and use a damp cloth with mild soap to wipe down the exterior. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators or direct sunlight, which can warp the cushioning materials.
