Brooks Ghost Max 3
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.

Amazing Shoes but the Service was a Game-Changer
If you're a parent dealing with a kid who has wide feet AND a high instep, you know the pain. I was convinced finding him a pair of shoes was my personal Mount Everest. I spent so many hours and too much money, only to send boxes of shoes straight back. We needed width that just didn't exist in the children's section, and all the men's shoes were too big. I finally threw in the towel and went to Fleet Feet. The service was AWESOME. They scanned his foot and suggested a workaround that was perfect - a women's wide shoe! I literally never thought of it. We ended up with a pair of Ghost Max 3s in a gender-neutral color that actually fits his foot. No more crying, no more wrestling, just a perfect fit. This shoe and the expertise I received have been one of the best investments I've made for my kiddo this year. Seriously, if your kid's foot is built like a little brick, skip the frustration and go let the pros at Fleet Feet work their magic. They are lifesavers!
