Customer Reviews Brooks Ghost Max

I love the new Ghost Max. I got the all black so I could wear them to work (I stand for at least 12 hours on a shift). I was so excited when they came out with these with more cushion than the original ghost. I like these as well as the Glycerin which have been my favorite previously.

Great supportive trainer! I have very narrow feet and normally wear Ghost 7N. Ghost Max doesn't have narrow width so I ordered half size smaller. It fits perfectly. I am recovering from a foot injury. I have used other top brands supportive shoes. However, I found Brooks Ghost offers the best fit and support. I can walk almost three miles without pain.

The ghost max is very lightweight. The cushioning in the shoe is wonderful. Part of my path is stone and these sneakers are wonderful. I ordered my usual size and another pair 1/2 size larger. Both pair are a good fit.

I'm not a runner but workout 5 times a week. These shoes provide the support I need.

Comfortable, provides stability and nicely cushion.

Super comfortable! Extreme cushion! Love these shoes!

I love running in this shoe! It is cushiony enough that it absorbs impacts on longer runs but not too soft that you feel unstable. It does run a tiny it wider than my glycerin's, but it will definitely stay in my rotation as a daily trainer.

I loved the Hoka Bondi 6 and 7. The eights didn't work for me and I've bought three different sneakers in the last year looking for something that could carry me around on my 12 hour days at work and my 3-5 mile daily jogs. I'm a 10 and these are true to size for me. I love the way the light gray/white looks and they are extremely comfortable and delivering so far for me. I have never worn Brooks before. My only complaint is that I sprayed them with Sneaker Protection twice over two days before wearing and they are already scuffed and dirty loooking. I would not purchase this color combo again.

The max are fabulous. I wear them to work and I'm on my feet 12 hrs plus a day. Best shoes you've made so far!! Now need more colors

Really springy and well cushioned. The length and width are what I would expect. Love that the color is soft white with a little grey.

Amazing! I have been plagued with sesamoid edema for about a year. After six months of PT it came back after three months. My toe was hurting this morning, and then stopped within a few hours of wearing these shoes. Plus they're lightweight and don't make my feet look bigger than they already do. I'm considering purchasing another pair.

Love these! Lightweight, cushioned support. Lighter than my Hoka's. Now Brooks needs to start making these in some cool colors!

I've been looking for a shoe that is similar to the Hoka brand and has the cushion of the Brooks Aurora shoes. This is it! The rocker technology combined with the cushion makes for a very comfortable shoe. The wiser sole base adds to having great stability. The Aurora shoes have been my go to since the launch 2 years ago. I use the Ghost (not max) for workouts and every day. This new Max design is going to easily be in the rotation when I'd wear my Aurora shoes. Love how good they feel and the toe box isn't narrow.

The Ghost has been my go to for a few years now, but wanted to try the new max. Found them to be very cushioned, love the rocker technology, felt like I could keep going. Very light weight. My hips and knees feel much better tonight than usual. The pink color is very light and worked well with my tan uniform pants. I'll definitely get the black for my part time job.

Love these! Super comfortable, propels me forward.

My feet hurt in almost any shoe when I walk now, but I didn't experience any foot pain with these! The pink is gorgeous and I received so many compliments! I've been struggling with different body pain these last 3 years but these didn't cause any of my usual issues. I haven't run in them, but feel like I might be able to with how bouncy and soft they feel.

So light. Feels like walking on soft cushions! Keeps your ankles stable.

When I first slipped into the M Ghost Max shoes, I immediately felt their remarkable comfort. What truly astounds me is the level of support they provide; it's nothing short of mind-boggling. It even feels like they give you an extra inch of height off the ground, though I'm not entirely sure about that. It did take me about three days to break them in for my long runs. Initially, I could only manage a couple of miles because they felt tight on the top of my foot. However, after wearing them for a few days, they became incredibly comfortable. Now, they've become not only my go-to running shoes but also my everyday walking companions. I'll admit, I'm not one to typically go for white shoes due to their susceptibility to staining. However, the Max's design is just stunning. They're not only stylish but also true to size, which is a definite plus. In my experience, Brooks shoes tend to be consistent with sizing. What stands out the most about these M Ghost Max's is that I can wear them all day long. I frequently travel by plane, and one issue I've had with sneakers in the past is the pressure they put on the top of my foot during extended periods of sitting. These shoes, on the other hand, don't cause any discomfort when I'm seated for a while. I understand that not everyone may have the same experience, but if you do, these shoes are exceptionally well-designed and offer impressive support.

I've been using Brooks Ghost shoes since I started training for half marathons in 2020. I've had the Ghost 12, Ghost14 and these new Ghost Max shoes are by far my favorite. They are ridiculously light and extremely comfortable. Over 3 weeks I've put about 61 miles on them with no blisters or sore spots, and no pain in my ankles, shins, or anywhere else! I'm doing 4-5 miles on my short run days, and today (a long run) I did 9! I've done road and trail running with no issues. Because they are my training shoes I don't wear them all day, but they are so comfortable - I easily could! I also love the ability to lace the shoe up across the top of my foot to give me more security (if needed). I am so excited to run my race in these shoes!

The Ghost Max shoes were comfortable straight from the box. They offer excellent support and cushion without feeling heavy. The upper material is lightweight and breathable. There were no tight spots or areas that needed to break in. The laces stay tied, and the tongue stays in place. The palest pink color and rose gold accent are just enough to keep the shoe from being too plain. The Ghost Max shoes performed as well on my feet at work as they did while exercising. The only thing I'd change would be to add a heel tab. Overall, these shoes are super comfortable and work well both for casual/work wear as well as walking/running.

I LOVE these W Ghost Max shoes! First, they provide a lot of stability without sacrificing style or shoe weight. I usually feel like shoes with larger soles feel heavier, but these don't at all. Second, blush color is also gorgeous! I would choose comfort over style in my running shoes, but these are the best of both worlds. I would highly recommend these to anyone who feels like they need a little more cushion when running. These are my new go to!

The laces were tight right out of the box. But once I loosened them up, my wider, high-arched feet slid right in. I was able to comfortably wear these shoes all-day long and I'm pregnant so that's a major plus right now! I wore them running around with the kids at the park most recently without any issue. The design of these shoes are also aesthetically pleasing. I really like the color scheme. Given their comfort (especially the heel cushioning), warm-tone and appealing design, I wouldn't change a thing!

The Brooks W Ghost Max is an all-in-one shoe solution for my lifestyle. The design is not very flashy and is attractive in the lovely, soft pink. I have a number of autoimmune illnesses that make my feet very incredibly pained - even sitting at a desk or in a car with my feet resting on the floor for lengths of time causes awful pain in my soles. Without proper support, the rest of my body suffers as well. Upon first trying them on, my feet were comforted. I have experienced this before with Brooks, so I wasn't surprised (though it is always a delight). The outsole of the shoes are a bit wider and seem to give more stability when weight shifts between feet mid-stride. The laces are a sort of sponge-like material which I find to be tactilely pleasing to tie, and as a bonus they do not untie themselves - no need to double knot, even when running. Love that. The fit is perfect and true to size. These shoes were comfortable for walking distances, running distances, running errands and even for sitting for long periods. I spent two days back to back walking with and chasing three kids under age five years (read: toddlers mean you make at least three times your normal step count) through a huge museum in these shoes and still had enough pep in my step to bound up and down a few flights of stairs and take a walk with my family at the end of the second day. That's how comfortable these shoes are. My feet are very sensitive to pressure and I was deeply impressed by the comfort and support these shoes provided throughout the entire day and with so many different activities throughout my family vacation (driving/riding in a car for approximately 900 miles, running, walking, sightseeing, playing with children, hiking and just standard, day-to-day living). My favorite part of this shoe is the amount of support and comfort provided during such a broad spectrum of physical demand. I now sit through entire workdays without pain in my soles. I have not experienced that since childhood. The absence of pain would be worth every penny. I'd love to see a wide range of color options available in this shoe, including bright colors. In all, these shoes seem to provide endless comfort, after having worn them for a full month and not feeling any wear in their performance. They are aesthetically pleasing and provide great support and stability. I have a new favorite shoe and I cannot wait to have more in my collection.

My first impression was that the color combination is well matched. I hate those shoe colors that are in your face, glaring, and don't have any kind of color coordination. I like that they come already laced so they are easy to use right out of the box. I noticed that the eyelets for the laces are reinforced, which is a plus. There are also extra holes at the top for additional lacing for when that is wanted or needed, though I haven't felt the need to use them. The heel is cushioned and I haven't experienced any rubbing or slipping. The soles are thick and the insoles are comfortable. The treads look like they will last awhile. It hasn't rained, so I haven't had the opportunity to try these in wet conditions, but I expect the treads will grip and not cause slipping based on how they look and are made. I am not a runner, only doing power walking and wearing these casually, so I don't know how these compare to other running specific shoes. The only thing that I noticed about the feel of these being different than any other shoes I have worn is that they have a slope at the toe so it rounds or rolls off as I walk. This was an interesting feel at first, but I quickly got used to it and I can see how this is helpful for a more fluid stride. Overall, these are really comfortable shoes. I received a free product in exchange for my honest review.

Super stable sneaker! Now a staple in my rotation, these Brooks do not disappoint. Breathable and the right amount of support and cushion for both walking and running on a tread but equally as comfortable outside. I feel very supported when landing mid-foot and appreciate the craftsmanship that comes with all Brooks sneakers. The colors are great, fit is very true to size (although I size up 1/2 sizes in performance sneakers and this was no different) and are built to last. Run, don't walk, to get these Ghosts!
