Product Information
Full details
The Brooks Ghost Max 4 is a neutral trainer designed for adult runners who prioritize impact protection and a stable ride on road surfaces. Featuring high-stack DNA LOFT v3 nitrogen-injected cushioning and a broad base, it offers exceptional comfort and smooth transitions through its unique rocker geometry. While it provides an accommodating fit suitable for various foot shapes and orthotics, its high-stack construction may feel less responsive to runners seeking a minimal, ground-feel experience.

FAQs
Is the Brooks Ghost Max 4 suitable for overpronation?
While it is technically a neutral shoe, its broad base provides significant inherent stability, which can work for mild pronation, though it lacks dedicated correction.
Can I put my own orthotics in this shoe?
Yes, the Ghost Max 4 is designed with an accommodating fit specifically to handle custom orthotics comfortably.
What is the weight of this shoe?
The shoe weighs approximately 260.8g, which is lightweight for a high-cushioned trainer.
Does it have a high heel drop?
The shoe features a 6mm heel-to-toe drop, which is moderate and promotes a balanced strike.
How often should I replace these trainers?
Generally, running shoes like the Ghost Max 4 should be replaced every 300-500 miles, depending on your running surface and gait.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure on the top of the foot
Try a 'window lacing' technique to bypass the eyelets directly over the pressure point.
Heel slippage while running
Use the extra top eyelet to create a 'runner's loop' or 'heel lock' lacing method to secure the ankle.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent impact absorption for long-distance training
- Smooth heel-to-toe transition due to rocker technology
- Stable platform accommodates wide feet and orthotics
- Lightweight feel despite the high-stack cushioning
Cons
- Higher stack height may lack ground feedback
- Not intended for speed-focused interval training
- White colourways require more frequent cleaning
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance from your Brooks Ghost Max 4, start by ensuring the lacing is snug but not restrictive to allow for natural foot swelling during exercise. If you intend to use custom orthotics, remove the stock insole provided by Brooks before inserting your own to ensure the correct volume and arch support.
For care, avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as high heat can damage the nitrogen-injected foam. Instead, wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. If the shoes become soaked from rain, remove the liners and stuff the shoes with newspaper to absorb moisture, allowing them to air dry in a cool, ventilated area away from direct sunlight.
