I was introduced to your shoes in February 2024 after purchasing the arch support system from The Good Feet Store. Your shoes provide the correct support both on the sides and bottom. In September 2024 I purchased Ghost Max 2, for my Greenland and Nova Scotia Cruise. I walked everywhere in them, flat and hilly terrain. They provided my feet and body with the support it needed. I will continue to purchase Ghost Max 2 as long as you have them. My only issue is that they only last 2 months, after that time my back and feet start to hurt. I wish they would last longer. The cost of buying new shoes every 2 months is hard when you live on a retirement budget.

Great looking shoe. Cushion is awesome. These were just too tight in the toebox for me. Across the balls of the feet and at the base of the toes just didnt feel good enough to keep (or run) in them. BTW: I dont have wide feet, but maybe a runner with a narrow foot would not have an issue.

I've worn Brooks ghost for years but the max 2 definitely has more cushion! It's only been a week but so far, I love them!!

I work 12 hr shifts in a hospital on my feet all day. These have been a lifesaver. Ive tried other name brand popular shoes and these are by far the best. Hoping for some more colors soon!

First of all I love Brooks. I usually wear Launch but decided to try something different because the ball of my feet kept hurting. Ended up trying 3 different shoes. My last one was Ghost Max 2. Did a half marathon the second time wearing them and my feet still felt good. Love them but do wish they would bring some different, fun colors.

Am keeping these but havent made up my mind about whether or not I like them better than the regular Ghost 16. They are VERY cushiony, and it sort of feels like I have to work harder to walk in them (Im not a runner). Maybe Ill get used to them, but Im not sure. Also, maybe the toe box could be a little wider for maximum comfort.??

Ultimately returned them. The sole/heel looks and is incredibly bulky. Decided to go back to my regular Ghost. I already have big feet, I didnt need help making them look bigger. Kind of reminded of grandma shoes.

Im on my feet all day at work, and usually opt for Hoka. After dealing with ankle pain for weeks, I was in search for a new pair of shoes. I felt such a relief after a few days of wearing the GM2. I am no longer in pain, and I am so grateful that I chose this pair!

Sometimes you cant tell if a shoe is right for you until it is tested. As a rule, I Brooks shoes and will continue to buy them. This shoe just doesnt work for me.

I purchased the 7.5 wide like i normally do for Glycerins but they were too snug on my toes. I need a wider toe box from so much barefoot time. I am disappointed that they do not fit

I ordered these in the same size brooks that I always wear but they were too small. I compared them to another brooks that I currently wear and they were smaller. Are your sizes changing? Im afraid to order again not knowing what size to buy.
