Customer Reviews Brooks Ghost Max

I have a lot of foot issues and have been wearing Brooks for several years , but these are the most comfortable.I am not a runner but walk a 4 mile trail every morning and my feet are happy.'

Love my new Ghost Max. I've been wearing Ghost shoes for running and they've been great, but my planar fasciitis was starting to flare up. With the extra cushioning of the Ghost Max, it has not become a problem. Highly recommend it if you have bunions, too; really roomy toe box. In fact, the overall fit is excellent (just be sure to order up a half size). Super comfy. Can't wait for new colors to come out!

I am so thankful to find a comfortable fit for my very wide foot. I can even wear them with thick socks, which was my goal for winter walks and hikes. (I am not a runner.)

They took some getting use to at first but after I got used to how cushiony they are I love them. The fit is nice and I love the roomy toe box.

Excellent! Love the comfort of the shoe! No break-in time. As soon as I received them I wore them the entire day! Give them a try, you won't be disappointed! (Would love to see more white shoes for wide or extra wide)

Super comfy! Fit perfect. No pain breaking them in either.

I love these shoes. I have a wider foot and a high arch (bought these in regular width). Walking around without my inserts and these already felt amazing, then I added the inserts. The wide base and spacious upper means there was plenty of room inside and the top of my foot felt zero pressure from the laces, which is normally the issue with shoes for me. So these are the best shoes I've bought in a long time. Can't recommend them enough!

Great cushion, great support. Looking at the shoe, you would think they would run a little clunky but they are surprisingly light. I have been having some issues with foot pain and I needed something that would provide more cushion than the regular ghosts. These did the trick! Great for easy days and long runs.

Love it! Want more colors but very comfortable! Hoka who?

I love the ghost max have been buying the ghost for years but the ghost max is amazing the cushion it provides is great I got the pink but plan on buying the black one also

I had back surgery and these shoes have been a life savor on getting me back to walking and moving.

I wear them for HIIT workouts and I think the extra cushion is great for that. I love the look of them also. I feel like they are a tiny bit bigger than my regular Ghost and Glycerin but my regular size is still fine. I got the Ebony/open air/lilac rose and they are beautiful! Keep making and more colors please!

These shoes are AMAZING! I have plantar fasciitis as well as turf toe on both my feet (which makes running & biking) painful during or after exercise. These shoes were so comfortable to run in and had absolutely 0 foot pain or toe pain during or after exercise. I didn't even have to put in my own orthotics in my shoes!

WOW! I have run in Ghosts for many years, and pre-ordered these because I need more cushion. These shoes are terrific! My legs hurt less, my knees hurt less, and I can run farther! I did a 10k this fall because of these shoes (I'm usually a 5k runner). I also have pair of Hoka Bondis, and like these better because of the rocking motion and because the mid-sole is wider. I am so, so happy that Brooks made these shoes!

LOVE!! Just ran a marathon in these and they did me well! Some say they felt these run big or wide, but I didn't think so. Roomy in the toe box but that's about it. So much cushion and support but felt light as a feather. These are now my go to shoe.. for everything really!! Short runs, long, everyday walking only con is we need MORE COLORS!!

I got recommended these by my aunt who runs because I was looking for a supportive shoe that gave me all day comfort and i absolutely love these shoes and the comfort this is my second pair of brooks and they fit great and give me the right amount of arch support I need. I do recommend these to anyone who is in the market for new shoes for working out or just an overall supportive shoe.

Finally a shoe with lots of cushion. I've ran several years in the Ghost collection but with each renewal they seemed to lose their comfort Decided to give Max a try. Sooo glad I did. Now to get them to make large , wide Max in MORE COLORS PLEASE

Love these sneakers!!! I have arthritis in my lower back and some hip problems, these sneakers have made it possible for me to be on feet without pain! I'll be getting another pair!!

So comfortable! Comparable to Hoka type comfort and cushion. Love the pink color! Love the sleek design and finally something more cushy than other Brooks. They're supportive and my feet/ankles don't hurt after 9 hr work day.

When I saw the announcement for these via email I knew I wanted to give them a try because of how they look and the heel-to-toe drop being lower than my other running shoes. I have not tried the regular ghost of any iteration and cannot compare. I work 6 days per week, up to 11 hours a day, so I needed something for standing and walking for long periods of time. As soon as I put these on I was impressed. They were comfortable and I felt light on my feet, easy to walk in. After a coupe weeks of use I am still loving them. I even ended up running in them (only 2 mi) and liked them for that as well. I plan to get another pair in a different color in the next few months so I don't break these ones down too fast by wearing them everyday. True to size, 8.5 is what I have for all other running shoes including other brands and that fit well in this model. I enjoy the lower heel-to-toe drop on these, 6mm vs 10mm on my other shoes.

These are my first Brooks shoes coming over from Hoka. I'm recovering from a peroneal tendon ankle injury and the doctor suggested I try something new. Loving the Max so far, the wider toe box and flatter insole than the Ghost are great for my sore feet. They're light enough to wear working or traveling all day. Highly recommend as a recovery shoe!

As an RN I work long days and mostly consisting of me being on my feet for long periods of time. My go to shoes are Brooks, hands down! I usually get the Brooks Adrenaline with guard rails but I thought I'd try these. Definitely no regrets! So if you're on your feet for long periods of time, these are a great choice and by far the only brand I will trust to get me through a long work day.

This is by far the 'cushiest' shoe I have ever worn. It's like walking on a cloud. It is the only shoe that has relieved the pain of plantar fasciitis for me. Love it!

Love these shoes so much! From the first moment I put them on they felt so comfortable I didn't even want to take them off and didn't even have to break them in. They help propel me forward when I walk because of the shape of the sole and are extremely supportive and cute. I loved them so much I bought a second pair in a different color. Highly recommend.
