Product Information
Full details
The Brooks Ghost MAX 4 is designed for adult male runners and fitness enthusiasts seeking a balance of high-impact cushioning and reliable support for long-distance efforts. These trainers excel at providing a smooth, stable ride through their specialized sole construction, though users prioritizing minimalist or lightweight racing shoes may find the increased stack height slightly bulkier than traditional speed trainers.

FAQs
Are these suitable for marathon training?
Yes, the Ghost MAX 4 is designed with extensive cushioning specifically to handle the high mileage required for marathon preparation.
How often should I replace these trainers?
It is generally recommended to replace running shoes every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and intensity.
Does the mesh upper provide good water resistance?
The upper is designed primarily for breathability and airflow, so it is not waterproof and may absorb water in heavy rain.
Can I use custom orthotics with these shoes?
Yes, the factory insoles are removable, making them compatible with most third-party or custom orthotic inserts.
Are these shoes best for neutral runners?
The Ghost series is traditionally built for neutral runners who do not require significant motion control features.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure points along the top of the foot
Adjust the lacing technique to a 'window lacing' pattern to relieve tension on the bridge of the foot.
Outsole collecting small debris
Periodically inspect the tread and use a dull tool or brush to remove stones or debris that may affect traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Ghost MAX 4 trainers, always loosen the laces fully before putting the shoes on or taking them off; this prevents damage to the heel counter. For cleaning, remove loose dirt with a soft brush and use a mild detergent mixed with water to spot clean the mesh. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high temperatures can degrade the cushioning foam. Air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight. When checking compatibility, ensure your foot shape aligns with the standard D-width construction characteristic of this model.
