Brooks Ghost Max 4

Brooks Ghost Max 4 review: what runners say

Fit

Upper with good forefoot width, suited to a range of foot shapes. Padded tongue with lace loops; firm, well-structured heel counter.

Feel

Cushioning is consistent and predictable, without excessive softness. The ride is stable and protective, not energetic: transition is smooth thanks to the rocker.

Durability

Outsole shows minimal wear after 150 km. Estimated lifespan of at least 700 km, with potential to exceed that for lighter runners.

Best for

Daily trainer for easy runs, recovery days, and long runs. Covers a pace range from 6:00/km down to roughly 4:30/km. Also suitable for heavier runners seeking consistent protection.

Weak points

Ride lacks responsiveness — not suited to runners looking for energy return. Actual drop measures higher than stated. Tongue is not gusseted.
