Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Brooks Ghost Max 4 trainers last as long as possible, follow these basic care guidelines:
- Break-in Period: While comfortable out of the box, wear them for short walks over two to three days to allow the cushioning to adapt to your foot strike.
- Cleaning: Clean the exterior using a soft-bristled brush and mild soap with lukewarm water. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can degrade the cushioning foam.
- Storage: Keep your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Storing them in a humid environment or direct heat can cause the adhesive and foam to break down prematurely.
- Replacement: Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on the intensity of your usage and wear patterns on the outsole.
