Brooks Ghost Max 4 Running Shoe - Women's Arctic Wolf/Rose/Coconut, 8.0

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I wore the Ghost Max 4 Running Shoe on a weekend long run after a tough training block, and the DNA LOFT v3 cushioning felt genuinely cloud-like underfoot from the first mile. The GlideRoll Rocker kept my transitions smooth even when my legs started to fade late in the run, and the roomy fit meant my feet never felt cramped. It's become my go to whenever I want the miles to feel easier than they should.""Some runs aren't about chasing a pace, they're about putting in the miles and feeling good doing it, and the Ghost Max 4 Running Shoe from Brooks is built for exactly that kind of day. Settle into a long weekend run or an easy recovery jog, and the ride stays soft and forgiving underfoot the whole way, taking the edge off tired legs instead of fighting them. That easy feeling comes from real design built around comfort. Nitrogen infused DNA LOFT v3 cushioning stacks high for a plush, protective landing, while a low-offset GlideRoll Rocker guides the foot through smooth, effortless transitions from heel to toe. A broad, stable base keeps things balanced underfoot, and a roomy, accommodating upper leaves space for orthotics and a wider range of foot shapes, rounding out a shoe built to make every mile feel a little easier."
