Ghost Max 3

A highly-cushioned daily trainer with a broad, stable base, DNA Loft v3 midsole foam, and a GlideRoll rocker (39/33 mm, 6 mm drop). Built for plush protection and smooth rolling miles.

Reviewers describe a soft-to-moderate cushioning feel with a smooth, rockered transition and a naturally stable platform. It’s comfortable for easy/steady runs and walking, but can feel chunky and less lively if you try to pick up the pace. Traction is dependable.

Generally true-to-size with a roomy fit (some found it very wide), a plush, padded collar/tongue, and a breathable updated mesh upper. Multiple widths are available; lockdown is solid, but narrow-footed runners may need to really tighten the laces to get a solid lockdown.

• Comfortable, protective cushioning for daily miles/long time on feet.
• Naturally stable ride from the broad base; rocker aids smooth transitions.
• Upper comfort/lockdown improved; multiple width options.
• Good outsole grip/traction and durable feel.

• Heavy/chunky feel; not very versatile for fast running.
• Very roomy/wide fit may be too spacious for narrow feet.
• Overall “not exciting” at quick paces; more cruiser than tempo shoe.
