Brooks Ghost Max 3

Brooks Ghost Max 3 review: what runners say

Fit

Generous toebox, wider than the previous version: runners with narrow feet need to lace up tight. True to size.

Feel

Abundant cushioning without being mushy, with smooth transitions thanks to the GlideRoll. The DNA Loft v3 foam delivers a sense of consistent protection rather than dynamic energy return.

Durability

Outsole nearly intact after 150 km with minimal wear. Estimated lifespan of at least 700 km, potentially more for lighter runners.

Best for

Daily trainer for easy runs, recovery runs, and long slow-pace efforts. Suited for run-walkers and walkers. Ideal for beginning runners or anyone looking for an all-around shoe without speed ambitions.

Weak points

High weight (around 306 g in M9) and a wider-than-expected toebox are drawbacks for narrow-footed runners or those seeking responsiveness. The included laces are too short for heel-lock lacing.
