I think these are amazing. Wearing for work, and I'm on my feet a lot. Just enough cushion, and support.

I tried on Kona, Vionic, Asics and many other brands. The brooks Ghost Max 2 was the best because it is lightweight, generous toe box and good cushion. I am returning them unfortunately because it didn't relieve my heal pain which might be resolved by a zero drop shoe sole type shoe. Next I'll try the Altra brand shoes which have a zero drop.

Great shoe. I have wide feet so I ordered a 6 1/2 W and they fit perfectly. Walking on the treadmill or on the sidewalk, my feet don't hurt and the shoes have wonderful cushion.

Love the Brooks Ghost Max. I own other Brooks shoes, Ghost & Adrenaline. I wear a 9 to 9.5 in dress shoes, but for room in Brooks with socks I prefer 10 wide. Ghost Max has a thicker sole and in size 10 wide, no way to look dainty on my feet. The upside is they make my face look better because I smile due to happy feet.

I order a 10 wide in women’s. I started with the Ghost Max. Now Brooks has updated to Ghost Max 2. I love these sneakers. Walk my dog twice a day about 1 mile each time. I also work out at the gym with these. I have neuropathy in my left foot and plantar fasciitis in both feet. I am a teacher and stand on my feet all day. I will continue to buy these sneakers.

If these shoes were available today in my size and offered a variety of color choices I would buy several pairs. I did buy two more pairs available in my size. I am 78, have feet & toes that can really complain with uncomfortable shoes. If shoes are not fitting great, I can only tolerate about 30 minutes on the gym treadmill. I own other styles of shoes by Brooks, but these are now my favorites. I also wear OnCloud and Hoka. The Ghost Max is the now my favorites.

I’ve owned other Brooks Ghost shoes, first time for Ghost Max. WOW! I wore them for six hours running errands, climbing stairs. My feet never ached. I’m 78, have bunions, arthritis in my feet and pronation. I give these shoes 10 out of 10. They are a neutral shoe, but they still helped with pronation. Highly recommend.

These are my favorite running shoes EVER. They are awesome—comfortable, cushioned, and “springy.” Highly recommend.

First let me tell you I went to a reputable shoe store to get my correct size. I usually wear a 9 in most sneakers however I needed a 10 for a good and comfortable fit in the Brooks brand. Due to recently suffering with plantar fasciitus, my foot doctor recommended this brand of sneakers. I like a more subdued shoe and not alot of advertising and bling...these checked all the boxes. Comfortable from the very first day. It also helps with discomfort I had previously experienced. I am very happy with my purchase and comfort level.

Love these sneakers so far. In the past, I bought the Ghost Max. I don’t see much difference between the two.

Having recently been fitted for Brooks at a local shoe store, I was surprised that I actually needed a size 10 for a good fit. Most of my sneakers (not Brooks) are 9 however with that being said, the Brooks size 10 is actually perfect. I do wear a thicker sock when I wear these shoes but they are most comfortable and worth the price in my opinion. I have suffered for months with plantar fasciitis and the foot doctor recommended Brooks as one of the shoes I should wear to give me the support my foot needs. My feet feel so much better with supportive shoes. It's a WIN for me!

Love these shoes! Have mostly worn Hokas in the past since my last Brooks were very heavy and clonky. Do not irritate my bunion. No break in time needed. Very happy.

I love my new Brooks Ghost Max 2 shoes. By far the best shoe I have ever owned. Like walking on clouds. Highly recommend.

I size up in Brooks always, and did the same here. Great cushion and bounce. Used for long walking commutes.

I lLOVE these sneakers. I was worried trying them as I have been wearing the ghost max. These are probably more comfortable . Lots of cushioning -especially in the toe area where I need it

Very comfortable! I’ve had Ghost shoes in the past but had switched over to the Hoka Clifton 8 which offered a better, more cushioned experience. It was time for a new pair and I learned the new Clifton’s were redesigned and nothing like the old style. After much searching I found these. Brooks updated the ghost style and it is now even better than I could have hoped for. Lots of cushioning, but not overly padded to look comical. I love them! Already thinking about a second pair.

I wish I knew about these sooner. I have two knee replacements, a hip issue, and chronic plantar fasciitis and have spent the last year looking for the shoe that will address all these issues. I went to a sports store and a young fellow listened to me and recommended these. I put them on and started walking and thought I died and went to heaven. I left the store with that pair and came home and immediately ordered another pair from Zappos. These are by far the best Brooks I've purchased. You can't go wrong.

I’ve always loved Brooks, and needed a new pair, but my daughter loves her Hokas so I got both to compare. They were even on comfort. The Hokas had a wider base and felt more stable. These were my first Brooks Ghost sneakers and they took me a minute to get used to because they were much more of a narrow base than my previous pair and the Hokas I had just tried on. It is almost like a rocking motion. Since my main activity is just walking, I liked the movement once I got familiar with it. I also liked the way they looked on me better than the Hokas, the more narrow shoe seemed more stylish to me. But again, I just wear them for every day life and walking. I am keeping my Brooks!
