Product Information
Full details
The Brooks Ghost MAX 4 is a high-cushion neutral trainer designed for adult runners and walkers seeking superior impact protection and stable transitions during long-distance training on asphalt. Featuring advanced nitrogen-infused cushioning and a specialized rocker geometry, these shoes excel at providing a smooth, effortless stride for daily training, though their maximalist design may feel too substantial for those who prefer a lightweight, minimalist ground-feel.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for people with flat feet?
Yes, the wide base of the Ghost MAX 4 provides inherent stability which is often beneficial for those with a neutral or low arch.
Can I use these for speed training?
While capable of various speeds, they are primarily designed for comfort and long-distance training rather than high-intensity speed work.
How do I ensure I have the right size?
It is recommended to measure your feet in the afternoon when they are at their largest and leave about 1cm of space in the toe box.
Can these be washed in a washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the adhesive and the structural integrity of the foam; stick to hand-cleaning with mild soap.
Are these shoes waterproof?
They feature a breathable mesh upper, which is designed for airflow rather than water resistance.
Troubleshooting
Foot slipping inside the shoe
Adjust the lace-up closure to a runner's loop or heel lock lacing pattern to secure the ankle area.
Visible dirt or mud on the upper
Use a damp cloth or soft-bristled brush to remove debris, then allow to air dry completely.
Feeling of decreased cushioning
Check for signs of excessive midsole compression; if the foam no longer rebounds, it may be time to replace the shoes.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Exceptional impact absorption for long-distance comfort
- Smooth gait cycle provided by the rocker profile
- High level of inherent stability for a neutral shoe
- Durable mesh construction offers excellent airflow
Cons
- Maximalist cushioning may lack responsiveness for speed work
- Bulkier profile compared to standard racing trainers
- Limited suitability for uneven or technical trail terrain
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance, verify that the shoe fits with approximately a thumb's width of space at the front of the toe box. The lacing system should be tightened evenly to distribute pressure across the top of the foot. For maintenance, keep the shoes away from extreme heat sources, such as radiators, which can degrade the foam. Clean them using a soft brush and mild soap; allow them to air dry naturally in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight. Replace the trainers every 300 to 500 miles, depending on the intensity of your usage and the rate of midsole compression.
