I love Brooks, but this shoe is a little wide, my foot Moves around in the shoe, and for as expensive as the tennis shoes are, the shoelaces could be better quality.

I am so disappointed. I power wal 4 miles per day. The first two weeks of walking in my GM2s were wonderful. But, going into the third week my right foot began hurting where my toes meet my foot after walking apx 2-2 1/2 miles. Painful! I thought it was me. It was not today I tried my old Ghosts and I did NOT have that problem at all. Am so disappointed with my GM2s it is indescribable. Sincerely, Colleen B. Ghost Max 2 disappointed buyer

I love Brooks and Ive worn glycerin for years. When Brooks put out their pride collection a few years ago, I bought a pair of ghosts and I thought they were very comfortable for every day use. So I decided to try the ghosts for my training and these were not the shoe for me. They hurt my feet. They were uncomfortable and I waited too long to try them so now I cant return them I will stick with the glycerin.

I have had 2 knee replacements years ago and always wore a different brand. The leather version of that brand seemed heavy and the material version would stretch out too much. I heard good things about this shoe so decided to try it and it is exactly what I was looking for. So now it is definitely my go to shoe

Love the great fit for my wide feet but totally dislike the lack of vibrant colors!! I walk 4+ miles a day and wearing these shoes has made it a breeze! My toes appreciate not being squished and bruised! Highly recommend!

I have problem feet. I wear a 10D womens. I dont understand why the only thing that is available to people wearing that size is black or gray. Id like to try blue or green or something, but the cutest shoes are never available in a wide width. Its disappointing because they fit wonderfully

I have always loved Brooks and own a few different stores, but these are my new absolute favorites! They have a thicker sole and I wasnt sure how I would like it but theyre the most comfortable shoes Ive ever worn.

Broke my foot and this shoe leveled my height to the exact height of the boot saving me purchasing a lift for my good foot. I told my podiatrist to recommend this shoe to all needing a cast boot. I am a Physician Assistant and Aqua Aerobic Instructor who was able to teach due to this shoe

I found Ghost Max 16 to fit and help with my foot pain. I've had a double fusion on my foot, one for hallux rigidus on the big toe joint, and second on top of my foot, that never healed. Unfortunately they changed the design where the lacing is, and now hits right where the incision line runs at my big toe. The pressure just can't be releived by losing the laces. When you make little changes, it would be great to make customers aware. I also tried a pair of hiking shoes, but I really need the cushion of the sole of the Max. I am very thankful for the Ghost max 16 and will have to stick with what works. Hope this helps anyone with arthritis of the feet, and thank you Brooks for allowing me the ability to wear a shoe that's comfortable and fashionable.

Love them so much. They take the sting off a long run. Lots of cushion and equal amounts of spring. Also, best looking running shoe Ive ever owned. Win win win.

I had to return the shoe. Get rid of the rocker sole. I have been dealing with tendonitis in my foot for two years and I have problems with my SI joint. The shoe made my feet feel great. I felt like my heel was held snugly in the shoe and it is an extremely stable shoe. However, the rocker sole made my SI joint hurt within half a mile and the more I wore the shoe the worse my back felt. Give me the same shoe without any rocker sole and I'll buy it.

Love these shoes just had foot surgery and they were the most comfortable shoes that I wore. I am on my feet at work all night. They fit perfectly and are well worth the price.

As a former Glycerin 21 lover these are my new FAVORITE! They are feel like a cloud, provide COMFORTABLE arch support and leave my feet and back feeling great after an 8 hour retail shift!
