Brooks Ghost Max 3 Women's FAQ

Is the Brooks Ghost Max 3 a neutral shoe?

Yes — the Ghost Max 3 is a neutral running shoe. It does not provide medial post support for overpronation. If you need stability, consider the Brooks Adrenaline GTS instead.

The Ghost Max 3 has a 6mm heel-to-toe drop, which is moderate and comfortable for most running and walking gaits.

Is the Brooks Ghost Max 3 good for orthotics?

Yes — the broad, stable base and removable sockliner make the Ghost Max 3 an excellent choice for orthotics wearers. The extra width and platform stability give your custom insole the support it needs.

How does the Ghost Max 3 differ from the regular Brooks Ghost?

The Ghost Max 3 features significantly more cushioning and a wider base than the standard Ghost. It's designed for maximum protection and comfort rather than speed or versatility — think of it as the plush, over-cushioned sibling of the Ghost lineup.
