Full details
The Brooks Ghost MAX 4 is a high-performance trainer designed for adult male runners and fitness enthusiasts who prioritize long-distance comfort and structural support.

FAQs
Is the Brooks Ghost MAX 4 suitable for wide feet?
The Ghost MAX 4 features a flexible mesh upper that accommodates various foot shapes, though if you require a specific width fitting, always check the label for width identifiers.
How often should I replace these trainers?
Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and body weight.
Can I use these for trail running?
These are primarily designed as road trainers. While they can handle light gravel paths, they lack the aggressive lugs required for technical, muddy, or steep terrain.
Does the shoe provide arch support?
Yes, the maximalist sole design provides neutral support that caters to a broad range of arch types by offering a stable, cushioned base.
How do I ensure the right fit for UK sizes?
We recommend measuring your feet while standing at the end of the day when they are at their largest to ensure a comfortable fit throughout your training sessions.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort or pressure points on top of the foot
Adjust the lacing pattern to a 'window' or 'gap' style in the area where you feel pressure to relieve tension.
Excessive moisture buildup inside the shoe
Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking synthetic or wool socks rather than cotton, and remove the insoles after a workout to air them out.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Brooks Ghost MAX 4 performs at its best, start by ensuring you have the correct UK size. During the first few wears, you may need to adjust the lace tension across the midfoot to find your personal comfort threshold. For cleaning, remove surface debris with a soft brush. If the trainers become heavily soiled, wipe them down with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid submerging them in water or putting them in a washing machine, as this can damage the cushioning materials. Allow the shoes to air dry away from direct sunlight or high heat sources to prevent material warping.
