Perfect fit

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Best Ghost Max yet. I’m going to have to buy a few pairs. Also a fan of 2.

Why So Narrow?

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had the opportunity of trying these shoes on in the store, and I’m so disappointed that they run so narrow. I’m a full 2X with and it seems like people with wide feet are just being forgotten by shoe manufacturers… Please go back to the sizing of the Ghost Max 3, my favorite shoe of all time.

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.

Good fit for me

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I knew these ran narrow because of runrepeat specs (great site btw), so I ordered an extra wide. They do indeed run narrow. However, the width and length in the 9.5 extra wide are perfect for me. The extra wide in the ghost max 3 had too much fabric so I skipped that model (I liked 1 and 2). For people complaining of the show running narrow, order a wide or extra wide and problem solved. I do wish Brooks would provide more color options in wide widths as more customers are choosing them due to the shoe running narrow.

Disappointed with the toe box.

I have always loved Brooks but I've become pretty disappointed with the shoes recently. Why did you narrow the toe box?! These Ghost Max 4s have a noticeably narrower toe box than the Ghost Max 3s (or any other Brooks shoe I have had before). So narrow that my toes are pinched uncomfortably. If you enjoy a little wiggle room or a roomier toe box do not buy the Ghost Max 4s.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My initial reaction compared to my other ghost shoes is that they are very light. The box itself felt extremely light. The laces are very short on these shoes, compared to my others. The width is good on the wide and the shoe looks nice. I haven’t had it long enough to be able to know whether it’s better than the other ones. I wish they would include more colors on the wide ones.
