Comfortable cushiony shoes. Fits like the Ghost, by usual shoe. Nice color, too. Reminds me of Orange sherbet that I ate as a child.

Not comfortable at all. Sides go up to far and dig into ankle. No arch support. Will be returning.

Love these shoes! Im not a runner so these are my every day shoes. I bought a 7.5 wide to accommodate my bunion and are the most comfortable sport shoe Ive ever owned. Soft, cushiony and supportive, and hug my heel so slippage whatsoever.

I already loved the Ghosts for the cushion. The Ghost Max take it to the next level! I feel like Im moving on a cloud without compromising stability. Love the neutral support and feels like it compares well to the OG Ghost. Primarily wearing for work since Im on my feet about 9 hours a day while 35 weeks pregnant.
For fit reference, I get a wide shoe.

I have been wearing Brooks Ghost running shoes for many years. I have high arches and am prone to plantar fasciitis. The Ghost series is always my go to shoe.
The Ghost Max is amazing! The extra cushion has helped me move without changing my gait. The pain in my heel and arch is not at all noticeable when I am wearing this shoe.
I am not a runner. I walk and work out in the gym. It is not the best shoe for weight lifting due to the extra cushioning, but I am 64 and dont lift heavy enough for that to stop me. It does have plenty of room in the toe box.
Please continue to make this shoe. It has helped me to be on my feet and moving again.
I wear a size 8 medium in dress/street shoes,but always order an 8.5 M in running and training shoes. The 8.5M fits me perfectly in the Ghost Max.

Bought these for my mom and she's obsessed. She never splurges on shoes for herself like this. She has extra wide feet and chronic feet problems but was able to were these on a 3 week trip where there was extensive walking. She texted mid trip asking me to buy another pair because she loves them so much.

The best! In the past month I have purchased Hoka, On Cloud and ASICS. Sent all back to the store. I love these shoes!!! Im a daily walker, 4 miles, Ive been wearing these for two weeks and there isnt one negative thing about them. Most comfortable shoe Ive ever worn.

I own the Glycerin 20 and GTS. When the 2024 versions came out I tried the Glycerin 21 on one foot and the Ghost Max on the other...I love love love the fit and feel of the Ghost Max. It feels lighter and has more forefoot cushion. It is like running on cushions. Since I use them mainly for running and walking, these are my " go to" new favs!!!

Been wearing Brooks for years, but was recently introduced to this at the running store. These shoes are a game changer! I have two pair already!

Absolutely love your Ghost shoes. They are so comfortable, don't even have to break them in and my feet never hurt. They are the best walking shoes around. This will be my 5th pair of Ghosts. I walked a marathon back in 2021 and have continued walking weekly. Even for the marathon my feet didn't even hurt at all. Thank you for excellent shoes.

I ordered the Ghost Max Brooks Shoes because I was looking for tennis shoes that were comfortable for work and standing on my feet all day. I have been wearing Hokas for awhile now and although I do love Hokas, Brooks really blew me away with these. I love these shoes so much! They definitely are super comfortable and light. I ordered extra wide and there is plenty of room and not making your foot feel squished like normal shoes do for me. I think my new favorite shoes are Brooks!

very comfortable, lots of wiggle room for me. 7 1/2 m.
i only use these for walking and biking. They do somewhat feel like I'm rocking forward when walking. looks are great if you like a chunky shoe.

I love the Ghost Max for running or walking! The heel drop is different than the Ghost because of the thicker midsole but they are very comfortable.

They did not have enough arch support and caused my feet to hurt and my toes to go numb.

I adore these shoes. I have the hardest time finding shoes that fit my wide feet. Not only do these fit and feel great- I've been getting loads of compliments on them. I don't know how they'll wear over time- but so far, they're a wonderful shoe.

The extra cushioning and low drop were great, but my arches and the back of my legs were in pain running/walking in these shoes. I switched to the Glycerin GTS 21 and have been very happy.

I have had recent bunion surgery and was told by fleet feet I would need the Glycerin GTS but unfortunately those hurt my Norton's neuroma so I always end back up in the Ghost Max because the cushioning doesn't hurt the neuroma. I just wish the shoe came in better colors. A good navy or blue color with a touch of highlighter yellow like the regular Ghost 14 would be nice!

I love my Ghosts, and I was hopeful that the extra cushioning in the Ghost Max would be even better. However, I felt like I had leaden legs, and running was more laborious. It may be due to the smaller drop, but I ended up returning them. Still love my plain old Ghosts though
