[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It’s very comfortable and it’s like walking on cloud. My orthopedics fit well in my shoes too.
I have difficult to fit feet due to quite thick custom orthotics and a bunion on 1 foot. I need a stable, neutral shoe with good cushioning to also mitigate knee pain. From the minute I tried these on they felt perfect. They’re the only current brand/style that is deep enough in the heel for my orthotics. The D width is wide enough and feels secure without being too tight. I don’t run but use them for everyday walking and light gym exercises and these have helped bring back the spring in my step. I love the black/rose gold colour and do plan on buying another pair. Please don’t stop making these shoes :-).
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I absolutely love my new Brooks Ghost 4 shoes! From the first time I put them on, they felt incredibly comfortable, with a snug yet roomy fit that supports my feet perfectly. The cushioning is outstanding, making every step feel soft, smooth, and effortless. Whether I’m walking for hours or out for a run, they provide excellent stability and support without feeling heavy. They’re lightweight, breathable, and beautifully made, so my feet stay comfortable all day. I also love the stylish design—they look just as good as they feel. These are easily some of the best shoes I’ve ever owned. Brooks has delivered another high-quality product, and I would highly recommend the Ghost 4 to anyone looking for exceptional comfort, durability, and performance. Worth every cent!
I am a support worker for Disabilities and Aged Industries and i love these runners. So comfy, well fitted and i can also use my custom Orthotics and still have plenty of room. the cushioning makes them feel like i am walking on clouds and the slight roll from back to front makes movement easy. Love them this is my third pair, last pair where leather and managed the wear and tear well. I have the fabric this time and need to weather proof as I already have a stain eeeeeek.
These are comfortable, but I wish more darker feminine colors were in stock & I wish x-wide was an option for those of us who use orthotic inserts. As far as durability, I don’t know yet. I am using for work where I stand on concrete floors & put in close to 20,000 steps at work. I hope these are better quality than Hokas Bondi-9s; which fall apart after a few months.
I’m loving the Ghost Max 4, I have been wearing Brooks for the past 10 years. They are my everyday shoe which I wear for dancing, walking, shopping, etc. I was wearing Brooks Adrenaline GTS, then recently purchased the Ghost Max 4 which I just love. They are so light, bouncy and comfortable; I even ordered a 2nd pair last week in black.
Having a wide foot it’s hard to find shoes that actually fit and feel comfortable. These shoes come in the 2E variation making it possible for me to enjoy shoes that fit, are comfortable and look great. Not only that I can enjoy my runs knowing that I’m wearing shoes that will support my wide feet for long distances.
I bought this style a couple of weeks ago because I have Planta Facitis and they are the most comfortable and very supported shoes. I always do buy Brooks normally but am very happy with the Ghost Max 4 style and Brooks always feel great with my orthotics and currently also wearing a heel cup they are perfect.
I wear these for support as I increase walking after ankle fracture surgery. They offer great support and help with my gait.
I purchased these a few weeks ago in an effort to reduce hip pain while walking, and these Ghost Max 4 are perfect! Excellent cushioned sole, curved sole to increase muscle stability, and the black/harlequin colour is fantastic. These are definitely my favourite shoes for daily use.
