20 days to the DC Half! This is the shoe we keep reaching for. 👟

The Brooks Ghost Max 4 just went live on our site and the timing couldn’t be better. We’re 3 weeks out from race day and runners are coming in asking us the same question: “What should I be wearing for my final training runs?”

The Ghost Max 4… every time.

Here are the specs we love: maximum cushion, a trusty feel underfoot that makes your last training miles feel like a reward, not a grind. And if you’ve been logging the miles this summer, your legs deserve that right now.

Come in before September 20. We’ll get you set up.

📍 All Pacers locations + online.

D.C. understood the assignment!!

Rivalries showed up. Street cred was earned. Teammates emptied the tank for one another. And for one night, the run clubs that make this city what it is shared the same course, the same noise, and the same finish line.

Because we all have our crews.

But we run the same streets.

This was District Ekiden.

D.C., you made history. 🇯🇵

And we’re just getting started. 📸 RØRY

The Ghost Max 4 is here! If you’ve ever wanted maximum cushion without sacrificing the smooth, balanced ride, this is the one.

The Ghost line has been earning runners’ trust for years. The Max 4 builds on that foundation with soft, protective DNA LOFT cushioning, effortless heel-to-toe transitions, and a broad, stable platform that makes every step feel smooth and supported.

The result? More comfort, more support and even recommended for orthotics.

The Ghost Max 4 is one of the first shoes we reach for when someone says, “I just want something that makes running, or walking, feel easy and automatic.”

The Ghost Max 3 is here. And if you’ve ever wanted maximum cushion without sacrificing the smooth, balanced ride that makes Brooks, well, Brooks, this is the one.

The Ghost line has been earning runners’ trust for years. The Max 3 builds on that foundation with more DNA LOFT v3 nitrogen-infused cushioning, a GlideRoll Rocker for effortless transitions, and a wider platform that adds stability without feeling bulky.

The result? More comfort, more protection, and a ride that feels incredibly natural from your first mile to your last.

Our staff has been fitting runners in Brooks for years, and the Ghost Max 3 is one of the first shoes we reach for when someone says, “I just want something that makes running, or walking, feel easy and automatic.”

The newest Altra lineup is here!
Whether you’ve been waiting for the return of the Escalante or looking to log everyday miles in the new Torin, they’re both officially in-store and online.
The Escalante is your lightweight, flexible option that keeps you connected to the road, while the Torin a softer, more cushioned ride for everyday training. Different rides, same Altra staples: a roomy toe box and natural movement.
Not sure which one is right for you? That’s what we’re here for.
Stop by any Pacers location, try them both on, and we’ll help you find the best fit for your next run.

We get asked this one every single day right now and the timing is perfect.
“I’ve been ordering the same shoe for 5 years, why does it suddenly feel different?”
Here’s what we tell runners who walk in asking this exact question:
We will walk you through all the technical changes for better or for worse and discuss your most pressing concerns for feeling your best.
Ask us anything, this is why we’re here.

Running one shoe into the ground is the most expensive thing you can do. Let us explain.

“Should I use more than one shoe while training?”

Most runners are wearing one pair for everything and it’s costing them both performance and longevity. This is why it’s great to have variety!
