Product Information
Full details
The Brooks Ghost Max 3 is designed for adult road runners seeking maximum cushioning and a stable, plush ride. It features advanced foam technology and a unique rocker geometry that promotes smooth transitions, making it an ideal choice for long-distance comfort. While it excels at providing a soft impact, the increased stack height means runners who prefer a firm, ground-connected feel may find it significantly different from traditional racing flats.

FAQs
Is the Ghost Max 3 suitable for speed work?
While it can handle tempo runs, it is optimized for cushioning and distance rather than responsiveness and speed.
Does this shoe provide arch support?
It is a neutral shoe, meaning it provides standard arch support without aggressive correction for overpronation.
What is the weight of the shoe?
The Brooks Ghost Max 3 weighs approximately 283.5 grams.
Can I use these for trail running?
These are designed specifically for road running; their broad base may feel unstable on rocky or uneven trail surfaces.
How often should I replace them?
Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running style and surface conditions.
Troubleshooting
Foot slipping inside the shoe
Adjust the lacing pattern to a heel-lock or runner's loop to secure the ankle.
Foam feels too stiff initially
The DNA LOFT v3 foam typically requires a short break-in period of 20-30 miles to reach optimal softness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The Ghost Max 3 is ready to wear straight out of the box, though it is recommended to wear them for shorter walking sessions to allow the foam to adapt to your foot. For sizing, ensure a thumb-width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe. To maintain the integrity of the cushioning, avoid washing the shoes in a machine; instead, wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Air dry them away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can degrade the midsole material over time.
