Customer Reviews Brooks Ghost Max SE

Very cushioned but doesnt feel heavy on my feet. Love as a runner coming back from a stress fracture for extra cushion. Will be my long run shoes

I bought it because of FOOT PAD pain under the toes. Not the heal. I had to grab an insert out of my 1st purchase of Brooke shoes. Those shoes broke down after 4 months and the pain returned...but it was pretty good for 4 months of occasional wear. The new ones just weren't as cushioned as the first.

I ordered the same size I wear in the Ghost Max and the toe area is not as comfortable due to rubbing which means I don't wear it. Other than that I did like the feel of the shoe for walking probably more than the max. I have problems with my feet as the day goes on and the max and max 2 are the only shoes I can wear all day without any problems

These shoes are very cushioned and that is fine. They are comfortable. However, I would not recommend them for someone who walks at a fast pace. They seem too heavy and clunky. If your walking stride is more of a leisurely stride, great shoe for you. I will wear these when I am running errands but not for my race-walking-type stride. I prefer my Adrenaline GTS or Glycerin

Shoe laces fall apart very easily...otherwise shoes are great!

These shoes were very tight, unsure about sizing. Will exchange and size up. Hoping they are super cushiony and comfortable once exchanged.

Just ok. Ive ran in ghosts for about 10 years, found the ghost max and loved them even more. Disappointed by these a little. Very rigid feeling to me in comparison to original ghost max. Hoping future updates revert back to softness of the original. Will be exchanging ghost max 2 for another pair of original ghost max.

Ghost max is very comfortable

These shoes were hard and heavy. Brooks has changed the formula for happy runs and my feet are no longer pleased. I ran in Adrenalines for years, they changed the formula, so I moved to Glycerins. The last pair of Glycerins that made my feet sing were the 19s. This new nitrogen infused technology is horrible. Because the Glycerins were too hard, I went to the Ghost Max. The original dark blue Ghost Max worked, but ironically, the pink Ghost Max don't work. The Ghost Max 2 is a no no no. I may return to brands that I ran in prior to my past 10 years with Brooks. I am very disappointed as the search continues.

I returned rhem. They just didn't I I 9 have the arch support I was expecting.

I've owned all the Ghost versions and this is my first Ghost Max purchase. I absolutely love them! Makes my run extra smooth and provides the support I need. Although I have small feet, they are wide and the toe box is perfect and makes for an extra comfortable fit. Thank you for making these in 5.5 wide!

A little softer than the Ghost Max 1, and ever so comfortable. Thanks.

Love the higher stack for everyday wear and walking. I prefer a lower profile for running and workouts, but have worn these for a few runs with no pain. Like many Brooks, I found these slightly smaller. If I was planning to run in these, I would go up a half size.

I buy so many brooks just to find the perfect one & I never do . It is something that I just dont like , but these shoes right oh my my feet is in Heaven , This is my favorite pair so far I love them I want so many more

I love this shoe! I am not a runner but I am a dedicated walker (about 25 miles per week) who is approaching age 70. I had tried the first Ghost Max version and, although they felt very comfortable they made me feel unstable and I cannot risk a fall at my age. This is not the case with the Ghost Max II. I have dropped metatarsals and this shoe offers plenty of cushioning. I also have a very wide forefoot with bunions and the EE width in this shoe is just wide enough for me. The toe box could be a little deeper as it is not quite as deep as the Ghost 16 but Im not having any problems with it. I wish the size 9 EE width were available in more colors. The plain black almost resembles a mans shoe in the larger sizes and the Coconut color I purchased seems to make my feet look even larger than they are. If you are an older walker who passed up the original Ghost Max because of feeling unstable, give the Ghost Max II a try, especially if you have wide problem feet!

I loved the ghost max 1. I don't know what it is about the 2, but they aren't as comfortable. Something is off and when I took them for a run they caused IT band pain.

No longer a runner due to torn Achilles but these are absolutely the best shoes for comfort. I have recommended them to all my retail coworkers.

Uncomfortable & Unattractive. Actually made my feet hurt.

I've been looking to replace my running shoes that I absolutely have loved! I'm overdue for a replacement but my current brand changed their design and it doesn't work for my feet. I've tried MANY options and the Ghost Max 2 is the WINNER!! For me, it fits true to size (7.5). Ample toe box for my neuropathic toes, Great cushioning,even though it's more than I'm accustomed to wearing. Also really appreciate design of the tongue and padded area around the ankle and Achilles. I'm thinking of purchasing a second pair for backup:)

I've worn Brooks Ghost shoes for years. I absolutely love the extra cushion in the new Max style.

These shoes are AMAZING! 5 stars for everything but the colorways. We seem to only get one good one among then 1 and the 2 Ghost Maxes. The only good one this time shows sellouts in every size as opposed to the sad, boring ones. Please give us more fun colors. I love the limited edition blue ones before and these blue and pink ones for the 2s.

Too thick and heavy for running shoes. Great for walking, but Im a runner

I completed agree with all of the negative reviews! The shoe is 1/2 size smaller. It is definitely not as comfortable as the the original!! PLEASE CHANGE IT BACK! I love the original Ghost Max. I would abolutely buy more pairs.

I've been wearing the Ghost Max from the first release. It works perfectly for me and my daily walks. One thing about the Max 2 is that I've found it to be running a smig smaller in length than the Max 1 version. I can wear my normal size 9 but with thinner socks. I did order a 9.5 and I'm happier with that size.

I love the extra cushioning. No need to break them in. I use these for walking, especially at work. Only thing I would recommend is the back of the shoe is too low and makes my socks slide down. I normally wear an I normally wear a size 8, but because of the extra cushioning, I went with an 8 1/2, and that is perfect. Absolutely love this style.
