A Smooth, Stable Ride for All Your Daily Miles
Brooks’ inherently stable max cushion shoe is back, offering more cushioning and a lighter weight than ever before.
Like its predecessor, the Ghost Max 4 features a high stack of nitrogen-infused DNA Loft v3 cushioning. Enjoy maximum protection and shock absorption – paired with a firm and responsive underfoot feel – as you spend time on your feet during walks, runs, or day-to-day life. This midsole incorporates GlideRoll technology, a curved design that works with the responsive foam to keep you moving forward more efficiently.
While the Ghost Max is a neutral shoe, the model boasts some inherent stability features designed to keep you feeling secure with every step. A wide platform delivers stable landings, while the linear last and spacious, high-volume fit ensure there’s plenty of room for your feet and any additional orthotics or arch support you may need.
The premium, luxurious feel extends to the upper, where a cushioned engineered mesh wraps the foot. While the padding and structured heel lock you in place, the lightweight mesh ensures maximum breathability and comfort no matter where these shoes take you. And with a rubber outsole along the heel and forefoot, these shoes can easily handle all your mileage with superior grip and durability.
