Super comfortable!

[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.

Perfect Versatile Shoes

[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!

Great universal shoe

[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!

Just Didn’t Work For Me

[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.

My search is over - I’ve found my “sole mates”!

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 :-).

Officially a Brooks fan!

[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!

Great shoe for all day running and walking

[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.

The Goldilocks

[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.

Amazing shoes

[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.
