I have had my ankle fused in 3 places and Im a nurse on my feet all day long. Ghost max shoes were amazing the only thing that didnt hurt my feet. Ghost max shoes dont even begin to compare. The more cushion almost feels like hoka shoes which were awful for me and then the toe box in these shoes is so much smaller. My feet feel like they cant breathe at all. I cant wait to get home from working all day and get them off. Very disappointed. Please bring back the ghost max. I dont even know what shoe to turn to next :(

In love with these! These are my first pair of Brooks after returning the Hyperion because they were too narrow for me. The ghosts are so comfy, cute and cushioned for my long runs or long days at work. Im excited to get more!

These are not as comfortable as the first ghost max. The tongue is big and very uncomfortable and jabs into the front of the ankle. Cushioning doesnt seem as good as the first ghost max either. I have planters fasciitis and these have inflamed it more when I wear whereas the first ghost max I had no issues with this.

I have been using Ghost line for years, so I thought I would try these out because I'm on concrete a lot of the time and was looking for extra cushion. Big mistake! My achilles has been hurting since I've been wearing them and because the cushions are so thick I'm tripping over everything! These are definitely not for everyone, I'm very disappointed. I do like the style, but these shoes don't fit my lifestyle.

I like that this shoe has toe room. I have rheumatoid arthritis and have had a hard time finding shoes where my toes arent scrunched. I currently have the ghost max shoe. I dont think this ghost max 2 has as much cushion as the ghost max. My feet hurt after wearing this shoe for the day.

I ordered the extra wide - which I know is unusual, but I would like options in a few more colors. I've always struggled with purchasing shoes, mostly because I wasn't constrained to shoes as a young person, and my feet adjusted naturally.

I was struggling with serious back pain and thought maybe it was time to get new Brooks! I usually buy glycerins or adrenalines but thought Id try something new, and Im very happy with the ghost max! I love Brooks shoes, and being a housekeeper I absolutely need good shoes

These are my first pairs of Ghost/Ghost Max so I am not familiar with past variations. I am happy they are available in a wide, which is what I needed. Even with the wide size I feel like I need more room in the toe box, they feel narrow there. I did experience ny toes rubbing on the sides once but hopefully that won't be a problem. I find them both supportive and cushioned which is what I look for in a shoe.

I just don't love em. I always run in Brooks Ghost and expected Max2 to be more cushioned for road running. I don't find them any more cushioned than the regular Ghost sneaker. If I knew that, I would've stuck with my regular Ghosts and not spend money on a pair that is redundant.

I have 2 pair of the original ghost max, and I love them. When I first put these on my feet felt like they were enveloped in a cloud, but my foot is more narrow than wide and I had to tighten the lace to the point that they buckled on top, and after wearing a few times to work, where I walk approx 5 miles a day, and on my feet for 8 to 9 hours, the shoe kept rubbing against my ankle. Not comfortable. Im going to look at something else. I have to say Im never nervous about purchasing $150+ shoes from Brooks because they stand behind the product with their return policies. Im a forever customer as long as that never changes!

I had been having some pain with another brand of shoes I was trying. I came back to Brooks and the Ghost Max 2 was the ticket! No more pain. Thank-you Brooks for smooth transitions.

I don't feel they as comfortable as the Ghost Max. The toe box feels much narrower. I wish you made these like the Ghost Max. They even hurt the top of my toes. I have about 75 miles on them and they still feel tight. They are a pretty shoe

I love them! My foot doctor recommended them to me for my plantar fasciitis and they do help that problem. They are very comfortable. Like my doctor said, you get what you pay for . They are a bit pricey but they are worth it to me. Thank you!

I purchased Ghost Max 2 because I was in need of a new pair of sneakers. I ordered a wide shoe in my actual size; however, they seem to run small because there is not enough room in the toe box for full comfort.
