I was experiencing pain in the soles of my feet. i tried on several different brands and nothing felt right. I tried on the Ghost Max and immediately the pain in the soles of my feet was relieved. Alleluia.

Im 72 and walk 5-7 miles a day. I normally wear Glycerin but the colors left in my size did not appeal to me. I started out with Ghost 5 years so ago so I thought Id try the Max. Its only a whisper away from Glycerin very happy with it until the new Glycerin arrives

Not as comfortable as the Levitates- wish they could bring it back- Im a nurse of 32 years and the Levitates were by far the best shoe I have ever owned-

I stand all day on a concrete floor working retail. These shoes relieved all my foot and back pain. They feel like Im walking on a cloud. I would buy them in every color

I have bought 6 pairs of ghost max 2 to make sure I have backups. Fantastic for running first, but great for walking or daily life. I have tired on hundreds of shoes and these from the shoe sole feel to the top feel are perfect.

Ghost Max 2 were too small despite ordering the same size as my Ghost Max. The toe box also seemed more narrow but it could be the size issue.

For a change, the shoe actually fit just perfectly. It was a 6 1/2 wide width and the fit was great. But the shoe felt very rigid and uncomfortable on my foot. So I had to return it.

I have run in Brooks Ghosts for the past 15 or so years. I have never wanted to try anything else since they have always provided me with the perfect support and comfort. I didn't think they could get any better but they did. I am an older, slower runner now and the support for me is even better. Thanks Brooks.

It felt 1/2 size shorter, and 30% narrower around the toe joint area. For bunion feet, prob better with extra wide and 1/2 size up.
I'd also recommend:
The Ghost 16 wide is much more comfortable & wide enough.

I loved the cushioning and was hoping that since the ghost 16 changed too much from the ghost 15 to be a good fit for me anymore, that this was going to be my new go to shoe. I wore them once to the gym and my body/my feet just didnt feel good about them. I couldnt identify anything specific but it definitely was not the right shoe for me. I have a high arch and wear a wide width if that helps. I had to return and Ive tried all the other versions of wide width sneakers so Im still on the hunt for an alternate. Please reissue the ghost 15 as it was

I use these shoes for walking and for everyday errands in the summer. They are great! I have arthritis in my lower back, and these shoes alleviate my lower back pain.

I like the looks of these shoes, but they do not fit like the regular Ghost shoes. They are not as comfortable to me and make my knees hurt.

These are very comfortable for walking but I felt like they created extra resistance when running, like I was running up hill even though I wasn't. They are a tad more comfortable than the Ghost 16 (except for running). I've tried several recent Brooks athletic shoe lines and my favorite is Glycerin 21 (even across other brands). Ghost Max 2 is my second favorite. They do run a bit small. I used to love Adrenaline's but the 23's felt like I was walking barefoot on concrete so I returned them.
