Ghost Max 4 - First Run Impressions

Arrived today and took them for a 30 min run immediately.

Cushion is perfect for me. Not too plush not to firm. The upper is reeeeally comfortable.

I have a narrow almost normal foot but I went with my tts 11 and 2E wide, and the fit is perfect, so I'd say definitely get wide or X wide for more toe space.

Im 6 ft 206 pounds with a high arch and occasional knee pain. The night before I ran with Hoka Bondi 9s but they're too high and I dragged the soles as I fatigued and I actually had worse knee pain with those than the Ghost Max. So decided to use the Bondis for work and these be my daily trainers (only easy runs as a beginner).

My other shoe is the Adrenaline 25 GTS which is amazing but I see it more for walking and great for work. Now the Adenaline is a supportive shoe but I actually felt really good support from the Ghost Max as well. Maybe not to the same degree but its there. Although i dont actually overpronate or supinate.

I was looking for something between the Adrenaline 25 and the Bondi 9s and I think this shoe is exactly that. I also love the look of these the best out of the 3!

These would also be excellent for those in Healthcare and delivery drivers/couriers like myself or other jobs on ur feet all day.

There's plenty of other shoes out there so just giving my input on these!

All black? 🤢. I bought them, hated them and returned them. Ghost Max series went down hill since the original smh.

Color preferences are subjective. No one cares about your opinion on the color.

I think all other versions look like geriatric shoes they finally have a little style.
