REVIEW Will new Brooks Ghost Max shoe protect runners from injury as claimed? (Expert reveals truth)

This is my review of the Brooks Ghost Max road running shoes, the latest in the hugely popular Ghost range, with a ginormous wedge of cushioning and a midsole rocker that comes with some pretty big claims in regards to protecting runners from injuries like plantar fasciitis, metatar-salgia, Morton’s neuroma, bunions, Achilles issues and arthritis. Am I cynical about these claims? Yes I am. So I contacted podiatrist and injury rehab specialist Nick Knight from NK active for more input so we’ll hear his expert analysis of the Ghost Max in this film. He’s been a guest on this channel a few times, see his playlist here https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLyZ16LRfpz0CAMipP0SArhJaGtwxtU30A and it’s also available in podcast format if you search your usual podcast provider for ‘Nick Knight Wild Ginger Running’. ALERT! If you're thinking, that's weird, Claire doesn't usually review road shoes on this channel, in fact she rarely reviews anything anymore, you'd be right! With the cost of freakin' everything going up and sky high nursery fees for my toddler I have to prioritise paid work like race films, the Patreons' monthly competition, editing Summit magazine for the BMC and writing for Advnture.com. So when I told Brooks I wouldn't have time to review the new Ghost Max they offered me a small amount of cash. Thanks Brooks! I've still given this shoe exactly the same review as usual, you can probably tell this by watching it... but let me know in the comments below if you think I've been bought in any way! ;) PLEASE HELP!
