Product Information
Full details
The Brooks Ghost Max 3 is designed for adult male runners seeking maximum plush cushioning and effortless transitions during road runs or recovery sessions. It features a nitrogen-infused midsole for ultra-soft comfort and a rocker-shaped design to streamline your gait, though its high-stack construction may feel less responsive to runners who prefer a firm, ground-feel experience.

FAQs
Is the Ghost Max 3 a stability shoe?
It is not a traditional stability shoe with a post, but it offers inherent stability through its broad base and supportive midsole geometry.
Can I use these for marathon training?
Yes, they are specifically designed for long-distance comfort and high-mileage training.
How often should I replace these shoes?
Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300-500 miles, depending on your weight, running surface, and individual gait.
Is the midsole foam waterproof?
No, the DNA LOFT v3 foam is breathable and not waterproof. Avoid running through deep puddles to keep the interior dry.
Can I use custom orthotics with this shoe?
Yes, the sock liner is removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics if needed.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of instability on uneven terrain
The Ghost Max 3 is designed primarily for road running. Stick to paved surfaces or flat paths to maximize the benefits of the rocker geometry.
Excessive heel slippage
Utilize the 'runner's loop' or 'lock lace' method by using the extra top eyelet on the shoe to secure the ankle more tightly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Brooks Ghost Max 3 lasts, start by ensuring you have the correct size; standard sizing is usually consistent with other Brooks road running models.
- Break-in: While comfortable out of the box, spend a few short walks or light jogs in them to allow the upper to conform to your foot shape.
- Lacing: Use the eyelets to customize your lockdown if you find you have heel slippage.
- Cleaning: Hand wash your trainers using cold water and mild soap. Never submerge them in a washing machine or use a tumble dryer, as heat can degrade the DNA LOFT v3 midsole foam.
- Storage: Keep your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the rubber outsole to harden prematurely.
