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.

Brooks Max 3 wide
Finally got a pair of sneakers that have a round toe. What has taken so long. Love these. My feet felt great the second I put them on. Game changer. Run don't walk and get a pair.

Feel amazing on my feet.
Wow, first off I’ve never even heard of double wide feet but when I did my entire life flashed before my eyes of wearing the same “way to small for my feet” shoes daily for over 30 years.???? Once I tried these on, I realized what I had been missing out on. Comfort is a 10/10. Style is cool looking, wish there were more colors for a double wide but you win some, you loose some. Support is a 10/10. I don’t roll my ankles anymore ???? My feet no longer hurt and swell after being on them for 8-10 hours at a time. I am extremely happy with these shoes and only wish I would get another pair as a gift in the future. I will forever have gratitude to the fleet feet employee who shed so much light and created a wonderful experience for me in finding the perfect fit.

Brooks shoes feel great
The shoes fit well and feel great. Loving my new Brooks shoes! My reason for putting 4 and not 5 is they were brought because of feet and ankle issues, I wear them all day everyday. With the weather getting cold I need a pair that can be worn in cold and keep my feet warm. I am not a runner so I could due without the air hitting my feet. Otherwise, Brooks Rock! My foot Dr suggested Brooks and I am happy he did,my Neuroma is not an issue anymore.
