Product Information
Full details
The Brooks Ghost MAX is a high-performance running shoe engineered for adult male runners seeking maximum impact protection and long-distance comfort. Featuring a highly cushioned sole and a breathable mesh upper, this shoe excels at absorbing shock during intensive training sessions or daily road runs. While it offers superior comfort for high-mileage athletes, those seeking a lightweight, low-profile racing flat may find the plush stack height to be more substantial than required for speed-focused workouts.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for flat feet?
The Brooks Ghost MAX offers neutral support, but the high cushioning levels are often preferred by runners with flat feet for the added comfort.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
While excellent for road running, the high cushioning stack height makes them less ideal for activities requiring lateral stability, such as heavy weightlifting or agile court sports.
How do I choose the right size?
We recommend choosing your standard athletic shoe size, ensuring there is roughly a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe.
Does the mesh upper provide water resistance?
No, the breathable mesh upper is designed for ventilation rather than waterproofing, meaning it will allow water to pass through during wet conditions.
How often should I rotate these shoes?
Rotating between two pairs of shoes can help extend the life of each pair by allowing the foam compression to reset between sessions.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of slippage in the heel area
Adjust the laces using the 'runner's loop' or heel lock lacing technique to secure the ankle more firmly.
Upper material trapping heat
Ensure you are using performance-oriented, moisture-wicking synthetic socks rather than thick cotton socks.
Uneven wear on the outsole
Check your gait alignment with a professional at a running store; you may require an orthotic insert if you have significant pronation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Brooks Ghost MAX trainers, follow these maintenance tips. Before your first run, ensure the laces are adjusted to your preferred tension while wearing your typical running socks. If the shoes become dirty, gently brush off loose debris and wipe the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid using a washing machine, as this can degrade the specialized materials in the midsole. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the cushioning foam over time. Always replace your trainers after 300 to 500 miles, or when you notice the midsole foam no longer provides the signature bounce and protection.
