Troubleshooting
Foot slipping inside the shoe
Try the 'runner's loop' lacing technique to better lock in the heel and secure the midfoot.
Material showing signs of dirt
Use a damp cloth and mild soap to spot clean the mesh. Do not submerge the shoes completely.
Feeling uneven cushioning
Check the shoe inserts; ensure they are pushed all the way into the heel box and are not folded.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Brooks Ghost MAX 4 trainers, follow these guidelines:
- Fitting: Ensure the shoe is laced snugly across the midfoot without creating pressure points. Your heel should remain seated securely in the back of the shoe.
- Break-in Period: While comfortable out of the box, take a few short walks or light jogs to allow the materials to adapt to your foot anatomy.
- Cleaning: Hand wash using a soft-bristle brush, mild soap, and cold water. Remove the insoles to air dry separately. Avoid placing in the washing machine or dryer, as high heat can degrade the cushioning foam.
- Storage: Keep your shoes in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight to preserve the structural integrity of the mesh and foam.
