Brooks Women’s Ghost Max 3 Coconut/Blue Heron/Orange

Description

The Brooks Women’s Ghost Max 3 is a maximalist neutral trainer built for plush comfort, long miles, and easy, forgiving rides. Designed for those who want their footwear to feel like a cloud underfoot, this shoe combines high stack cushioning, a stable base, and a refined fit to deliver comfort from the first step to the last.

Maximal Cushioning with DNA Loft v3
At the heart of the Ghost Max 3 is DNA Loft v3 foam. This super-soft cushioning material cradles the foot and dampens impact, especially during long runs, recovery miles, or days when you’ll be walking and standing a lot. Its generous heel-to-toe stack height offers a dampened ride while being supportive and resilient.

GlideRoll Transition Geometry
The shoe features a rocker-style design called GlideRoll that helps ease transitions from heel strike to toe-off. This geometry, together with the plush cushioning, smooths out the gait cycle, reducing fatigue in calves and ankles, and delivering a smoother, more comfortable feel at slower paces.

Weight, Drop, and Stack
For women, the Ghost Max 3 weighs approximately 9.7 ounces. Heel height (stack) is about 39 mm, forefoot around 33 mm, yielding a 6 mm drop. Collectively, these specs give a lofty, soft platform that still manages to feel stable and grounded.

Upper Fit and Comfort
The upper is made with engineered jacquard mesh that improves breathability and comfort over previous versions. The fit tends to be roomier—especially in the heel and forefoot—making it an excellent choice for wider feet. A padded collar and tongue help reduce pressure, and redesigned heel geometry supports a better fit without excess bulk.

Outsole, Traction, Durability
Down below, the outsole is built from durable rubber with a wide base for greater stability. Flex grooves are integrated to allow more natural flex and movement. While it is a “max cushion” model, Brooks has balanced softness with a robust outsole design to extend durability over many miles.

Best Use Cases
The Brooks Women’s Ghost Max 3 shines for long easy runs, recovery days, and for walkers or runners who spend extensive time on their feet. It offers comfort in situations where cushioning and softness are more important than speed or lightweight performance. Because of its roomy build, users who typically wear wider shoes or need more space in the toe box will appreciate its feel.
