Product Information
Full details
The Brooks Ghost Max 4 trainers are designed for adult athletes and casual runners who prioritize superior cushioning and stability for high-mileage training. These shoes feature a breathable mesh upper and a highly responsive sole unit to keep feet comfortable during intense workouts or long-distance efforts. While they offer excellent support and ventilation, prospective users should note that their maximum-cushioned design may feel different than minimal racing flats or low-profile gym shoes.

FAQs
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The Brooks Ghost Max 4 is designed with a standard trainer fit; however, the mesh upper offers some natural stretch. We recommend verifying against your standard UK shoe size.
Can I use these for trail running?
While durable, these are primarily designed for road and gym surfaces. They do not feature the aggressive tread patterns required for technical trail running.
How often should I replace these trainers?
Generally, running trainers should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on the intensity of your usage and the surface on which you run.
Are they waterproof?
No, the trainers feature a breathable mesh upper specifically designed for ventilation, which means they are not waterproof.
How do I maintain the cushioning?
Avoid using them for high-impact activities outside of running or gym work, and allow the foam to decompress by alternating your training shoes if you exercise daily.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of slipping at the heel
Try the 'runner's loop' lacing technique to create a tighter lock around the ankle collar.
Build-up of dirt in the mesh
Let the shoes dry completely, then use a dry brush to gently sweep away loose dirt from the mesh fibers.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance from your Brooks Ghost Max 4 trainers, always ensure you have the correct UK sizing for your foot type. For setup, adjust the laces starting from the bottom eyelets to distribute tension evenly across the midfoot. When cleaning your trainers, avoid machine washing or drying, which can compromise the foam integrity. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface debris and a damp cloth with mild soap for localized stains. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to preserve the materials and cushioning technology.
