Smooth, cushioned and stable

I had the Ghost Max 3 and didn’t think Brooks could improve on them, but the Ghost Max 4 surprised me. The cushioning still feels fantastic, but the ride seems a little smoother and the transition from heel to toe feels more natural. What I noticed most was how well they absorb impact. Longer walks and runs feel easier on my feet and joints, and I don’t feel as fatigued afterwards. The stability is excellent without making the shoe feel heavy, and the grip has been solid in both dry and wet conditions. If you liked the Ghost Max 3, I think the Ghost Max 4 is a worthwhile update. It’s not a massive change, but it’s a noticeable improvement where it counts.

13W finally a good fit

13W fits great in the toe and arch, even though I have flat feet. I’ve been wearing Nike, but these fit much better. My son bought a pair and loves them.

5 Start - Ghost Max 4

I purchased the Brooks Ghost Max 4 during my recovery from a partial Achilles tear, and they have been excellent. The cushioning is comfortable without feeling unstable, and the rocker design allows a smooth transition through each step while reducing the effort required at the ankle and Achilles. As a physiotherapist, I’m quite particular about footwear.....especially during injury rehabilitation, and I’ve been impressed by the combination of support, comfort and stability. They have helped me transition back into normal walking with confidence and have remained comfortable throughout the day. A very well-designed shoe and an excellent option for walking, everyday wear and a gradual return to activity. Highly recommended.

Narrower toe box - now unwearable for me

I'm so disappointed by the changes from the Ghost Max 3 to the Ghost Max 4. I have wide feet and wear orthotics and the narrowing of the toe box on the new model has taken this from my favourite shoe to something I cannot wear due to the pain it's causing me. The 4E in previous models has always been great for me. Please bring back the previous toe box width in the next model!

Best comfort for long training sessions.

The Gohst Max 4 are by far the best training shoes ever for my feet. I’ve tried every shoe under the sun & have spent a fortune trying to get it right. Finally the Ghost Max 4 dropped from the heavens. I was so impressed I bought 2 pairs.

Wish I’d tried them sooner

Purchased a few weeks ago after having tried multiple other brands. My wife loves Brooks and convinced me to try. What an amazing shoe it takes away my shin splints locks my foot in place, accommodates my orthotics and is great to move in!

Orthotic Support

Needed to buy these shoes to support my feet since my big toes decided to stop working and they put my feet in the perfect like and fit amazingly with my orthotics. Strong recommend.

Cinque Point!!!

Recommended to me by a sports podiatrist due to osteoarthritic toes. These have been excellent for this indication, given their 6mm drop and rocker forefoot. Thanks Brooks 👍🏻

Solid shoe

Cushiony shoe but not too mushy, good for walking or standing on your feet all day. Wish they had some cooler colors, but overall like the look. Good breathable material too.
