Features
Discover what comfort feels like in the Brooks Ghost Max 3.
Designed for runners and walkers who want every step to feel supported, the Ghost Max 3 delivers maximum cushioning without compromising the smooth, natural transitions that make long miles feel effortless. This isn't just about more foam—it's about smarter cushioning that works with your body's natural movement. With nitrogen-infused DNA LOFT v3 foam and GlideRoll Rocker technology, the Ghost Max 3 helps reduce underfoot pressure while actively assisting your heel-to-toe transitions, so you can focus on enjoying your run instead of counting down the miles.
Details:
- Upper: New high-fidelity textile delivers a soft, premium feel that wraps your foot in comfort from the first step to the last. The design balances breathability with the protective support you need for longer efforts.
- Midsole: A high stack of nitrogen-infused DNA LOFT v3 cushioning provides maximum protection without the weight penalty. The low 6 mm offset works with GlideRoll Rocker technology to create smooth, assisted transitions that make every step feel effortless.
- Outsole: A broad base delivers inherent stability that supports neutral runners without interfering with your natural stride. Strategic design promotes smooth heel-to-toe transitions whether you're running or walking.

Plus, it's certified CarbonNeutral®, proving you can take care of your feet and the planet at the same time.
Who It's Best For
The Brooks Ghost Max 3 is a great option for anyone who spends time on their feet and wants to feel great doing it.

Found My Shoe!
After trying different styles and brands, I have finally found the right fit for me just in time for a sale; however, this particular style is being replaced with a newer model. We'll have to wait and see if the new model works as well.

Great shoes with comfort!
I already own a pair of Brooks Glycerin 23 GTX's. They have the support I need for my lateral distribution and I'm happy with them. The Ghost Max 3 have a different, yet pleasing feel. They have more cushion and a softer ride. These are great for me for every day training and walking. I am new to running and was advised to get a second pair of shoes so I bought the Ghost Max. Highly pleased with them. Fleet Feet also advised getting a half size larger to prevent toe pinch. Glad I did!
