Product Information
Full details
The Brooks Ghost MAX 4 trainers are designed for adult male runners seeking maximum comfort and structural support during long-distance training or intensive workout sessions. Featuring a highly breathable mesh upper and an advanced cushioned sole, these shoes prioritize impact protection and stability. While they excel in comfort, users should note that the high-cushion platform may feel bulkier compared to minimal racing flats, making them best suited for steady-state training rather than high-speed sprinting.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for flat feet?
The Brooks Ghost MAX 4 provides neutral cushioning and support, but runners with specific arch requirements should consult a podiatrist to determine if additional orthotics are needed.
How often should I replace the Ghost MAX 4?
Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and intensity.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
While excellent for treadmill running and cardio, the high-cushion platform is less stable for heavy weightlifting where a firm, flat sole is preferred.
How do I ensure I have the right fit?
You should have about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to account for foot swelling during long runs.
Are these machine washable?
It is recommended to hand wash these shoes, as machine washing can degrade the structural integrity of the foam and the mesh upper.
Troubleshooting
Laces feel too tight across the top of the foot
Try a different lacing technique, such as the 'window' lacing method, to relieve pressure on the arch.
Excessive moisture or overheating during runs
Ensure you are using moisture-wicking synthetic running socks; avoid cotton, which retains sweat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Brooks Ghost MAX 4, proper care is essential.
Setup:
- Loosen the laces completely before putting on the shoe.
- Ensure your heel is seated comfortably in the rear cup.
- Tighten laces from the bottom up to ensure even pressure across the arch.
Care Instructions:
- Hand wash with mild soap and cold water if dirty.
- Air dry in a cool, shaded area; avoid direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the cushioning.
- Remove the insole during cleaning to ensure the interior dries thoroughly and prevent odors.
