Brooks  Ghost Max 4 Road-Running Shoes - Women's

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These shoes are supportive, comfortable and versatile. I pop these on in the morning, go outside for a run, chase my toddler around at the park, go grocery shopping, and then run around in them with my toddler some more. My feet feel great at the end of the day. I have higher arches and the top part of my foot is very sensitive, so I’m picky about my running shoes. So far, these make my feet (and knees) feel supported during runs and walks outside and on the treadmill. I love that they feel cushioned and stable while also still feeling lightweight. Size 7.5 (medium width) fits me great. I’m normally a size 7, but I always go half a size up for running shoes. I’m looking forward to start my half marathon training in these!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I began running a year and a half ago and have tested several brands of shoes to find what works best for me. These are my new favorite. They have so many great features! They run true to size and feel perfectly supportive. My feet are cushioned but not weighed down. I can pronate but these keep my stride aligned and facilitate a smooth heel to toe transition. I felt the difference on the first run and have gotten better with each go! They've also been perfect for walking. I love the style. They are sleek with a run pop of color! I'm so glad I found these!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Man, I wanted to love these so bad. I’ve been wearing the Glycerin Flex and they felt fantastic except I needed a wider toe box. So I switched to these. The problem is just overall performance and fit for me. For fit, the toe box was TOO wide and the performance felt heavy. I ended up with right knee and heel pain. I haven’t experienced that level of discomfort since switching to my Brooke from ASICS. I have initiated my return and ordered the Glycerin 25. Hopefully that will be the magic potion.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love my Ghost Max 4s! I wasn’t sure at first how I’d feel about the extra cushioning, but now I’m completely sold. The extra support is a feature I’ll definitely be looking for in all my future walking and running shoes. From the moment I started walking in them, they felt incredibly comfortable. Once I put them on for a run, I was even more impressed. I enjoy running for my workouts and run about 20 miles a week. The cushioning and support make every stride feel smoother, and running feels more natural and effortless than ever. These shoes truly help take the impact out of running! One detail that I really like is the feel of the laces. They stay securely tied and locked in place, so I never have to worry about stopping mid-workout to retie them. Overall, the Ghost Max 4s have exceeded my expectations and quickly become my favorite pair of running shoes!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really love this shoe for running and walking throughout a busy day. The shoe feels cushioned but is more firm than other more cushioned running shoes I’ve tried in the past. My knees and hips feel great during my run as the cushioning does a good job reducing impact. I’ve worn these on both the treadmill and road running and they’ve worked great with both and I’ve felt it provides good support throughout my runs. Running feels natural and easy to move heel to toe. I’ve had some foot issues over the past few months and have found that I feel no pain or issues while wearing this shoes and have picked these over my other running shoes since they support where my foot normally hurts a little better. The only con I’ve noticed is that the design hits at a strange place by my ankle and if I wear them all day, I notice it’s a little tender, but it’s not noticeable for even a long run. I will buy these again when it’s time for new running shoes.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am super impressed with these shoes! My feet feel very supported when I wear them to both exercise and run errands. They are cushiony without being overly foamy. They are the perfect width, especially when comparing to some other brands that run wider. I love the colors as well! These are easily becoming my go-to sneaker.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These shoes are amazing. I love the way they feel on your feet. They give the perfect secure feel without gripping your feet too tight. They don’t slid off your heel. My feet feel very secure while running. They run true to size.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Pregnancy feet are a whole thing, and these shoes honestly made my final months way more manageable. I was doing a lot of walking on my walking pad and I kept reaching for these because they just made everything feel easier. They’ve got that really nice cushioned feel without being mushy. Walking in them feels soft on impact, like my feet aren’t taking the brunt of every step, and I never ended a walk with that usual ache I’d get from other shoes. What I also noticed is how smooth they feel to walk in. There’s this easy roll from heel to toe that makes everything feel more natural, almost like you don’t have to think about your stride as much. They feel really stable too, which mattered a lot for me especially with pregnancy balance being what it is. My foot felt secure in them, not shifting around or anything, just supported. They also didn’t feel picky about my foot shape or anything. I could see them working well for a lot of different people. Overall, they’ve been my go-to for long walks and just being on my feet in general. Way less fatigue at the end of the day, which has been huge. Brooks has honestly been my steady brand through both pregnancies because they just keep delivering on comfort and support without overthinking it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been really impressed with these shoes so far. The first thing I noticed was how much cushioning they have. Looking at them, you'd expect them to feel heavy because of the thick sole, but they're actually surprisingly lightweight. When I'm walking or jogging, it feels like there's very little impact on my joints because of how much cushion they provide. They're also true to size, which is always a plus. I usually have to buy wide shoes, but these have plenty of room without feeling too loose or restrictive. The fit is comfortable right out of the box. One thing I really appreciate is how smoothly they roll from heel to toe when walking. It just feels natural. I have plantar fasciitis, and the arch support has been great. Normally I can feel some soreness after jogging, but I didn't have any foot pain or discomfort after wearing these. I've worn them on a treadmill, on paved roads, and even on gravel, and they've been comfortable on every surface. They provide a lot of support and cushioning no matter where I'm using them. I also like how breathable they are. My feet don't feel hot or sweaty after exercising, which isn't always the case with heavily cushioned shoes. The look of the shoe is another bonus. I really like the color, and they go well with just about anything, whether I'm wearing workout clothes or just casual clothes around town. They will also stay clean for a long time because they are dark in color. I've actually gotten several compliments on them since I started wearing them. I think they make my feet look small, even though I wear a 9.5. Some shoes make my feet look HUGE. Overall, these are some of the most comfortable shoes I've worn in a long time. Between the cushioning, support, breathability, and fit, they've been great for both exercise and everyday wear. I'm taking a trip to Disney in October, and these will definitely be packed in my suitcase because I know they'll handle long days on my feet without a problem.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I knew these ran narrow because of runrepeat specs (great site btw), so I ordered an extra wide. They do indeed run narrow. However, the width and length in the 9.5 extra wide are perfect for me. The extra wide in the ghost max 3 had too much fabric so I skipped that model (I liked 1 and 2). For people complaining of the show running narrow, order a wide or extra wide and problem solved. I do wish Brooks would provide more color options in wide widths as more customers are choosing them due to the shoe running narrow.
