Customer Reviews Brooks Ghost Max SE

I don’t like that they are so bulky. Additionally, they feel smaller.

They were cut too high and rubbed my foot

To high on the sides. Cut into foot

size was a bit big

the fit was a bit big and the width was as it should be

I did not realize the sole was lilac. I thought it was black and white shoe. Its so weird.

I love my Brooks Ghost Max, i have had 2 pairs, but this new version felt much tighter and narrower and just uncomfortable. I had to return and ended up buying some On Cloud's

Fit was true to size. I am a Brooks fan, and I really wanted to like these shoes. However, the Max 2 soles are just too cushiony for me. Never thought I would say that about a shoe but the marshmallowy cushion is just too much, making the shoe feel awkward. The shoe is lightweight but looks heavy and bulky. These have to go back.

Too shallow in the heel. I wouldn't buy this style again.

The shoes fit well, had a lot of support, but I sent them back. The style was lacking. It looked frumpy and I didn't like the color (Ebony/Sweet Lavender/Alloy). If the wide widths came in better colors, I might be able to live with the style.

Second Brooks sneaker that I tried hoping for solid arch support. IMO not much arch support here. I'm returning.

These look like a very light green on my computer, but it turns out they are actually a light tan. After seeing them in person, I like the cute striped laces that coordinate with the speckled black pattern on the tan fabric. They are cute but exceptionally thick soled. and make me I look like I’m wearing moon boots! I buy Brooks shoes, because I have narrow feet, and Brooks run narrow. However, these shoes seem to be wide, which is surprising. I’m returning them.

I think I'm going to like the rocker bottom. However, I think Brooks doesn't have the same quality it used to. I'd sure like to find some that don't look so wide in the toe box.

I like these shoes, but don't love them. They look good. However, they're one of the only pairs of Brooks I've ever owned that actually hurt my feet after walking for hours.

I was a big fan of the Ghost Max. I need a stiff rocker sole with a wide toe box and cushioning and that model fit the bill perfectly. The Ghost Max 2, however, seems to be narrower in the toe box and slightly shorter lengthwise than its predecessor. I wear an 8 in most sneakers, including the original Ghost Max. I'll try the 8.5, but am skeptical. I have a medium-to-narrow low-volume foot, so if you have a wide foot, I'd skip this one.

Felt like a Hoka - and I wasn't looking for that. Very comfortable, but prefer a little less.

I normally wear 9.5 in sandals and 10 wide in sneakers. These were half a size too small.

Have worn Brooks Dyad for years. I wear a hinged rigid brace and the dyad was wonderful for use brace. I was hardly able to walk in the ghost Max shoe. The artificial shaping of the arch and heel structure on the inside of the shoe made it impossible to wear the brace up with it and removing the insole was of no help. The extra sole along with the extreme rocker build deeply affected my step. I regret that I no longer can wear Brooks and this shoe was recommended as the replacement for the Dyad. I I am sure if you regularly walk, as I used to, or run this is a marvelous shoe; but for anyone wearing any kind of appliance or brace, it will not work.

I have wore Brooks Ghost only for years!! My last pair prior to these were the Ghost Max in white. Wore them completely out and decided to try the Ghost Max 2. Huge mistake!! They are not near as comfortable. I stand all day and with my ghost max, my feet never hurt after a 10 hour day. With these ghost max 2, after about half the day they start hurting. For the amount of money I expect more brooks!!

This is my 2nd pair of ghost max 2 in 6 months. I work as a nurse and am on my feet for 12+ hours. While this pair is comfortable, they are not as comfortable as the last pair I had. Perhaps it is a slight manufacturing difference, as the color that I previously had is not longer available (citadel/coconut/biscuit). My feet start to hurt toward the end of my shift, whereas the last pair i had was comfortable for 12+ hours. I wish that there was more consistency, as this is not the first time I have had this issue with Brooks. I've noticed a decrease in comfort level of the Brooks Ghost, as each new generation rolls out.

the scooping wavy motion while walking forced my feet forward to press against the toes - not ideal for walking

Shoes were used and had black marks and dirt on the bottom. Very disappointing since I used Zappos quite often. May not use Zappos anymore since my shoes were not brand new

The shoe box had a big hole in the top, and the shoes looked like they had been worn. Since Amazon bought Zappos, the quality of Zappos products/packaging has deteriorated. I’ve been buying shoes from Zappos for years, but it’s time to go back to shopping at shoe stores.

Once again, I was unable to try these on with my orthotics because the insole was glued in. I have worn Brooks for many years and the insoles were always removable. Guess I shouldn't count on that anymore.

So disappointed in these! I wear a 10 in most shoes and generally order a 10.5 in running shoes. Bases on a few reviews I decided to order an 11 in the ghost Max 2's. My big toe hits the end! The entire toe box is tight and they aren't particularly cushy either. I have had wonderful ghosts in the past, but these are going straight back. Way too small
