Product Information
Full details
The Brooks Ghost Max 3 is designed for adult male runners seeking a plush, protective experience on the road. It provides a soft, smooth ride through its high-stack cushioning and a unique rocker geometry that facilitates seamless transitions from landing to toe-off, making it an excellent choice for daily training. While it excels in stability and comfort, the increased stack height might feel less responsive than lightweight racing flats for runners who prefer maximum ground feel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Brooks Ghost Max 3, it is important to treat them as dedicated road trainers.
- Break-in: While comfortable out of the box, give them a few short runs to allow the foam to adapt to your foot strike.
- Cleaning: Hand wash only using lukewarm water and a soft brush. Remove the sockliner to clean separately.
- Drying: Air dry only in a well-ventilated area. Do not place them in a dryer or near a direct heat source, as extreme heat can deform the midsole foam and compromise its cushioning properties.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent material degradation.
