Customer Reviews Brooks Ghost Max

The Ghost Max looks and feels great on my runs and walks. Each step feels smooth. I feel the extra and protection the shoe offers. In addition to running, I have been wearing the Ghost Max as my recovery shoe. I had to buy a 2nd pair.

The best shoe ever! I have been a long standing Brooks shoe customer. I have been a Glycerin fan and have had many pairs of the Glycerin 20 as well as the Ghost 13. I tried the Ghost Max and from the first wear I have never felt such comfort. I got my husband a pair, who has neuropathy, and they have been the best for him by far. I have now have 2 pair of the Ghost Max. I just wore them in Boston for the day walking approx. 6 miles with no problems. Please keep making this shoe. It needs no changes for me.

Love this shoe! Ghosts have been my go to work shoe for a while now, I'd work out my last pairs so gave these a try, this shoe is even better!! Enough structure and support for the hours of walking & standing on hospital tile floors. My feet don't ache anymore. Love the bright pink color, looks great with scrubs.

These are absolutely amazing! I've been an avid Ghost runner for 8 years the max really delivers what the traditional ghost does but adds that extra comfort!!!

I love my new Ghost Max. I have worn Brooks Ghost shoes for years. The new Ghost Max is so comfortable. I teach and I am on my feet all day long. I have 3 pairs. Any chance of adding a navy blue color for the Ghost Max?

I am an avid runner that barely ever writes shoes reviews. I just HAD to write a review for this shoe to express how absolutely DELIGHTED I am with this shoe and how it feels. I run almost exclusively in Ghosts, and have two pair of other running shoes that I use for shorter runs that are a different brand. I was so afraid to try another shoe besides the regular ghosts for my long runs because everytime I do, they never feel good. (Example: Adrenaline GTS). as SOON as I put the Ghost max on my foot, I knew it was special. I tied them up and walked a few steps and was in absolute HEAVEN! I did my first run in them yesterday and I actually PR'd!! They are so cushiony, look great on, are true to size (and I usually buy 1/2 size up but got my true size in these), and made me run faster. I would definitely recommend these for long runs or any runs at all. They are so wonderful and now my favorites!! Shoelaces stayed tied and I didn't have to double knot them. I promise you will not be disappointed in this shoe!!! Brooks, PLEASE DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING ABOUT THIS SHOE!!!!

I generally use the regular Ghosts for my long runs, but when the Max came out, it intrigued me enough that I had to buy a pair. I have used these for a 20 and a 22 mile run, and here are my initial thoughts. These definitely have more cushion, but not so much that you can't feel the road, also, these shoes have much more, roll-off/bounce to them. My legs definitely felt less beat up after my runs. I like the fit as well. The toe box is roomy, but the whole shoe fits close enough that your foot doesn't feel like it is swimming inside it. These are definitely not fast shoes, but they feel less "clunky" than the regular Ghosts, probably a combination of the different drop and the cushioning. As for longevity, I have only used them for two runs. I am hoping they will last for a while. As someone who goes through multiple shoes a year, durability is a big consideration for me, and the newer Ghosts are disappointing in that aspect. I am hoping these will buck that trend. All in all, these are a solid purchase, and I will definitely be buying another pair.

Love my new shoes. I prefer a little bit of room with my sneakers and these were perfect! Walked around Disney for 6 days and have zero complaints!

Ghost Max is my new favorite. The cushioning is wonderful. I have not had any plantar fasciitis pain in the four weeks of daily wear since I got them. They offer much better stability than other max cushion brands I've tried. I will be purchasing more pairs, and would love some additional color options.

Please don't change a thing I struggle so much to find running shoes I like and these are perfect!

Years of only wearing Brooks. The BEST Brooks yet!!!

I wish I bought these sooner! I have sensitive feet and always found my feet hurting after my long runs with the original Ghost during marathon training. Once I started integrating these, my foot pain subsided. It did take a few runs to feel more connected to the ground, but now I feel super connected and stable. They are surprisingly light too! They are also beautiful. I may have to snag a separate pair for everyday wear.

I love the Ghost Max. They are comfortable and don't squeeze my feet like the Launch 10 did. I like the thicker tounge as well. It took a minute to get used to rocking forward when leaning forward. I would definitely buy it again.

I love these new Ghost! The toe box is very roomy as others have commented, but that is a plus for me. The spongy sole is really fun to walk or run in. 5 stars after hating and returning my Ghost 15.

Just received my shoes today and I must say they're one of the most comfortable pair of running shoes I've tried. No heel slip and very minimal slip with my custom orthotics; I don't even think I need my inserts. I appreciate the free beanie especially since the shoes aren't on sale. The only thing is I'm not thrilled with the color papaya. I wish they offer better color selection (like with their adrenaline GTS 22's - I have the black, yucca and flamingo pink).

I love this shoe. It is so lightweight I don't even feel like it is on my foot. I feel lik I'm walking on air, as I don't feel my feet hit the floor.

I have several pair of Brook's shoes. I was amazed at the comfort of the Ghost 15 Max. There is a remarkedly difference from Ghost 15 (and I have three pairs of those). I wore the Ghost 15 Max for a few weeks and then purchased another pair. I have other brands of shoes, but these are definitely my favorite. It is so nice to go about my day without foot pain!

Very comfortable. I have two pairs now and love them.

Love the lightweight, cushiony feel. Trained for and ran a half-marathon in them and they were amazing!

I have RA and lots of nerve pain/damaged feet. I have tried several pairs (glycerin GTS20, adrenaline, and other brands) and they didn't quite give me the comfort. I had never tried ghost and thought I'd give it a try especially since I saw an article comparing the hoka bondi with the ghost max. I have been wearing the ghost max for 1 mth and I can had almost zero foot pain!!! This is literally the best sneaker and such a life saver!! I wear them every day on my 2-4 mile walks around my neighborhood and my feet never hurt after. I need another pair asap!! I am hoping more colors come back in stock. I usually wear a 9w in other brands but 8.5w fit perfectly in the brooks. I HIGHLY recommend these to ANYONE suffering from foot pain or just need a super comfy sneaker!

I've had these for 3 weeks now and LOVE them! I have been wearing Ghosts for years and tried Glycerins last year. I love both Ghosts and Glycerin but Ghost Max have been the best thing for my plantar fasciitis. No foot pain at all. I'm currently running 3-4 miles twice a week.

I am an out-of-shape walker looking to regain my former mileage glory. My Ghost Max is a favorite in my rotation for days that I want to put in some mileage. They are very cushioned. They are very comfortable. I do agree that they seem larger than my other Brooks (Launch GTS), but not so much so as to be a size issue. My heels appreciate the cushioning. Love Brooks :)

So far so good. They make me feel like I'm bouncing.

Comfortable for every day wear. I am on my feet walking on concrete floors 10 hours a day. These have replaced my hoka's as my most favorite shoe
