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.
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.
The Ghost Max 4 are so unbelievable comfortable , fits well and looks great.. One of the best shoes I've purchased. Brooks are easy to deal with and delivery time is fast.
I purchased these recently after always wearing another brand. Made a big difference to my walking and running comfort. No more knee soreness or shin aches. Very happy.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This iteration of the Ghost Max finally brings back what I fell in love with from the first Ghost Max. A good stable ride whenever on my long or easy runs.
The Ghost Max have been my go to shoe for some years. the new Max 4 does not disappoint
I recently received my Ghost Max4 purchase, ran 6kms the first day and very happy
Most comfortable shoes I have had for walking will definitely buy same next time
Comfortable shoe. Great to run in. A little narrower than the ghost max 3.
Perfect for what I need it for. Very comfortable for every day use :-)
