Women’s Brooks Ghost Max 4 in Black/Black/Rose Gold
Enjoy generous underfoot protection without giving up a smooth transition. The women’s Brooks Ghost Max 4 combines high-stack DNA LOFT v3 cushioning, a GlideRoll™ Rocker and a broad, accommodating platform. This Black/Black/Rose Gold colorway adds a polished accent that works for daily runs, long walks and long days on your feet.
Soft, protective stack
A high stack of nitrogen-infused DNA LOFT v3 cushioning helps lessen impact while maintaining a balanced feel.
Assisted transitions
The GlideRoll Rocker and low offset help guide movement smoothly from landing through toe-off.
Room for orthotics
A broad base and accommodating interior provide inherent stability and extra space for many orthotic inserts.
High-cushion comfort for running, walking and work
The women’s Ghost Max 4 is designed for people who want substantial protection underfoot and an easy rolling sensation. It remains a neutral shoe, but its wide platform feels inherently steady and its roomy shape can accommodate varied foot shapes. The result is a practical option for everyday road mileage, long runs, fitness walking, standing-heavy workdays and runners who use orthotics.
