Brooks Ghost Max 3 Running Shoe - Men's

Maximize comfort on every run with Ghost Max 3—plush cushioning meets smooth transitions

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I took the Ghost Max 3 out for a long recovery run and was blown away by how smooth it felt. The cushioning is incredibly protective, but the rocker keeps you moving forward effortlessly. It's stable enough for all-day wear, and roomy enough to accommodate my orthotics with no issue."

We run for a lot of reasons—stress relief, fresh air, training goals—and we reach for the Brooks Ghost Max 3 when we want maximum comfort with none of the fuss. Built with a high stack of DNA LOFT v3 cushioning, this shoe delivers soft, nitrogen-infused protection that minimizes impact and feels plush over any distance. Whether we’re logging easy miles or heading out for long walks, this shoe keeps us comfortable without draining energy.

What sets the Ghost Max 3 apart is the GlideRoll Rocker, which guides us through each stride with smooth, easy transitions. A low offset and wide platform add stability without affecting a neutral gait, making it a top pick for those managing plantar fasciitis or joint discomfort. With its breathable mesh upper, roomy fit, and orthotic-friendly volume, it’s ready for anyone who wants maximum protection in a surprisingly light-feeling ride.

Here's what customers have to say

The shoes provide excellent cushioning and support, with a comfortable and stable feel, especially for those with foot or mobility issues. However, some customers report less stability and support compared to the previous model, as well as quality issues like midsole separation and the shoes getting dirty easily. The overall consensus is that the shoes work well for some but may not be suitable for everyone.

Very comfortable

Love these shoes so far, I wear them on concrete floors all day at work. I’m working myself out of wearing orthotics and these are helping a lot.
