Max cushion and smooth transitions define the Ghost Max 3 Running Shoe for road-ready comfort
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"I’ve put in a lot of road miles in the Ghost Max 3, and it’s become my go-to for recovery days or long walks. The GlideRoll rocker makes transitions feel smooth and effortless, and the nitrogen-injected cushioning is plush without feeling mushy. It's a perfect blend of soft and stable."
We lace up the Ghost Max 3 Running Shoe when we want maximum cushioning with a ride that feels smooth and steady from heel to toe. Brooks built this road-ready trainer with a higher stack of nitrogen-infused DNA Loft v3 foam to reduce underfoot pressure and enhance shock absorption without sacrificing energy return.
The low heel-to-toe offset and integrated GlideRoll™ Rocker geometry help guide the foot effortlessly through each step, promoting a smooth transition even when we’re logging back-to-back runs or walking long city miles. Engineered mesh boosts airflow while a broad base stabilizes without interfering with our stride. Designed to accommodate more foot shapes and provide added protection, it’s a dependable partner for anyone chasing comfort over distance.

Review Summary
Customer Images
Here's what customers have to say
The shoes provide exceptional comfort, cushioning, and support, with ample cushioning that offers relief for conditions like plantar fasciitis. Many reviewers found the latest version to be even more comfortable and well-suited for long hours of walking or standing. However, some customers had issues with the fit, particularly those with narrow feet, who found the toe box to be too wide or the overall fit to be less secure compared to previous models. Despite these concerns, the majority of customers seem to be very satisfied with the shoes and would recommend them.

Great shoes
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really love them except the left shoe has an indentation right at the center. I need an exchange

Comfortable walking shoe
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I liked the added cushioning of the Ghost Max 3. Very comfortable walking. I did feel there was too much room in the toe box for me during my training runs, so unfortunately I am sending them back.

A well-cushioned ride for tired teacher feet
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I ordered Ghost Max 2s in early summer and upon wearing them the first time, I developed plantar fascitis so severely, I had to stay in bed for 2 weeks. Needless to say, I was grateful that Brooks has THE BEST guarantee on their products. I returned them, and almost immediately after, these Ghost Max 3s dropped. I ordered the navy blue pair in a 9, and they fit beautifully. The cushion in the sole is fantastic for this teacher who is on her feet all day, and the heel-to-toe roll is wonderful. My only complaint is that the shoe seems to keep my toes slightly pointed upward all day, so I'm finding myself getting toe cramps in late afternoon/end-of-workday. Aside from that, I'm pretty happy with these, enough so to have purchased the lilac pair when they came out so that I can rotate shoes and hopefully keep the cushion feeling springy longer.

Amazing Shoes
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Got these for my girlfriend. She absolutely loves them. The most comfortable shoes she has ever worn. She wears them everyday. Her feet used to hurt halfway through the day, not anymore.

Extra wide is great!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I need extra wide width with good cushioning due to a chronic foot condition. I have found these shoes to be very comfortable. I also appreciated that they were available in something besides the stark white or black that I usually have to pick from.

Not the plush, bouncy ride I wanted
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Ghost Max 3 is less rigid and a bit more comfortable than the GM2, but even on short 5ks, these shoes really hurt my feet and legs, and they gave me terrible blisters on my heels. I tried different socks and even tied my laces in a heel lock, but these really tore me up. The GM3 did not provide the plush, bouncy ride of the original Ghost Max. The color selection is also really sad, especially compared to the flash and splash of the original Ghost line.

Quality shoes
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Comfortable immediately. True sizing. A bit more “white” than expected. Use mine for walking and casual hiking.
