Women’s Brooks Ghost Max 4 in Black/Black/Ebony
Choose an understated, protective shoe for miles and workdays alike. The women’s Ghost Max 4 in Black/Black/Ebony places soft DNA LOFT v3 cushioning above a broad, stable-feeling base, then adds a GlideRoll™ Rocker to help each step move forward smoothly.
Less impact underfoot
The high DNA LOFT v3 stack supplies soft, balanced cushioning for protective comfort.
Smooth step-through
GlideRoll rocker geometry helps the foot travel easily from landing to toe-off during runs and walks.
Steady, roomy platform
A broad base accommodates varied foot shapes and creates useful space for many orthotics.
A versatile black running and walking shoe
The Black/Black/Ebony Ghost Max 4 is a useful crossover between high-cushion running footwear and all-day walking comfort. It is built as a neutral shoe, while its wide foundation offers a planted sensation for people who appreciate extra contact underfoot. The rocker shape reduces the abrupt feeling of a tall stack, and the accommodating fit makes it a particularly practical option for orthotic users and standing-intensive jobs.

Fit notes for regular width and orthotics
This page is for the women’s B (Regular) width. Because orthotics vary in thickness and shape, try the shoe with your actual insert whenever possible. Removing the stock sockliner can create additional volume, but the heel should remain secure and the toes should still spread comfortably.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Ghost Max 4 good for nurses and standing-heavy jobs?
Its high cushioning, broad base and rocker-assisted transition can make it a strong candidate for long periods of standing and walking. Individual fit needs still vary.
How is the Ghost Max 4 different from a traditional stability shoe?
It gains steadiness from its broad geometry rather than a traditional medial post. It remains a neutral model even though the platform feels planted.
Is Black/Black/Ebony suitable beyond running?
Yes. The tonal black color works easily with everyday or workplace clothing, while the shoe remains built for road running and fitness walking.
