FAQs
Is the Brooks Ghost Max 3 a stability shoe?
While it is technically a neutral shoe, its broad base and stable design offer inherent stability, making it supportive for a wide range of neutral runners.
What is the weight of the shoe?
The Ghost Max 3 weighs approximately 283.5g per shoe.
What is the heel-to-toe drop?
The shoe features a 6mm heel-to-toe drop.
Can I use these for speed work?
The Ghost Max 3 is designed primarily for comfort and steady-state mileage, so it may feel too bulky and soft for high-intensity intervals or track speed work.
How do I clean the shoe?
Use a soft brush and mild soap with cold water. Avoid the washing machine and dryer, which can damage the foam and adhesives.
Is this suitable for road running?
Yes, it is specifically optimized for road running and provides excellent cushioning on paved surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Heel slippage while running
Try the 'runner's loop' lacing technique to secure the heel more firmly against the back of the shoe.
Premature wear on the outsole
Monitor your strike pattern; if you notice uneven wear, consider a gait analysis to ensure the neutral platform of the Ghost Max 3 matches your stride.
Midsole feeling 'bottomed out'
Rotate your shoes to allow the foam 24-48 hours to decompress between runs, which helps maintain the lifespan of the DNA LOFT v3.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience with your Ghost Max 3, verify your size using a standard Brannock device or by measuring your foot with socks on, as the plush padding may impact the internal fit compared to minimal trainers. When lacing, ensure a secure midfoot lockdown without restricting circulation to the toes. For care, keep the shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent midsole compression breakdown. If the uppers become dirty, use a soft-bristled brush, mild soap, and cold water to spot clean. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally in a well-ventilated area, avoiding direct sunlight.
