The ghost max by far is the most comfortable tennis shoe I have ever worn! I love them!

I love the ghost Max's cushion and support. Although I'm not a runner, I work in a school cafeteria on my feet alot on a cement floor. My coworkers and I have worn brooks ghost for several years, I believe Max will be our new favorite.

Very nice! But for me, I felt they ran big. I wear 6.5-7 in Adrenaline and Ghost and Ive have prob 8 pairs at least, so I ordered the 7 and they were just too big. They felt too roomy in the toe area and overall not snug. Too much shoe returned. Maybe a smaller size next time.

I'm a police officer,and finding comfortable shoes that I can walk, run ,and stand for a long time is difficult. Not many choices for females in the boot department. Brooks has been a long favorite of mine. I wouldn't be mad if you sent me some on the regular. Haha
8.5!

These sneakers are awesome. I have been running in the Ghost for the past 5 years and I was reluctant to change from the Ghosts to the Max because of the heel drop. I don't really feel a difference. I'm a forefoot striker and was concerned with the heel drop that it would change my biomechanics and force me to heel strike but not the case at all. My runs have been faster with the Max, even easy runs with less effort. I'm looking forward to crossing the finish line of Marathon #14 with these bad boys in June.

This shoe is well cushioned and comfortable. Ive been wearing it for training runs. Not sure if Ill race in them because the cushioning makes the shoe a little heavier than what Im accustomed to wearing on race day.

I love how light these shoes are and the amount of cushion in the sole feels like running on clouds. They have a very thick sole which Im not used it, it also seems somewhat slippery. I love the color and comfort. I dont think I would purchase these particular ghosts again because I feel theyre too thick on the bottom

This is an extremely comfortable and cushioned shoe. I am a 77 year old woman with "tricky" feet. I recently bruised a bone in my foot by wearing a pair of shoes that was not meant for walking as long as I did. I was in pain for days and stopped walking in order to heal. I bought the Ghost Max and was advised to get a half size larger than what I had been wearing. I am now back to walking every day and feel so much better. I have ordered 3 other colors in this shoe.

I have tried every brand of running shoes, which I cannot wear different reason so I took a chance and decided to try brooks im so glad I did. They are the most comfortable tennis shoes Ive ever purchased so I went ahead and ordered another pair and Im extremely happy with those two.

I really wanted to love these because I have friends who raved about them. I have been a loyal Brooks fan and the Ghost line has always been my go-to versatile shoe for running both tempo and long endurance runs and 1/2 marathons. I felt like the Ghost 15 lost some of the cushioning from the 12 so I thought the Max would be a good fit. When I laced them up, they feel amazing but when I ran more than 6 miles, my ankles started to hurt and I was having pain on the top of my feet. I tried loosening the laces but then the shoe felt too loose on my foot. I have relatively flat feet so maybe the arch with cushioning caused the issue?? Sadly I returned. These shoes would be perfect for someone who works on their feet all day because they are very comfortable and supportive.

These are by far the best cushioning shoe out there. Ive been running in Brooks for quite a few years and these surpass any cushioning shoe out there. These are well worth the money spent, and you could wear these anywhere, not just for running.

These shoes are great! The added cushion provided comfort during long standing, walking, exercise periods. I typically get heel pain on long walks, these Ghost Max greatly prevented/reduced any discomfort. Really happy with my Brooks.

This might be the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn in my life. They make my feet feel like theyre wrapped in clouds. I walk 4 miles every day and Im on my feet a lot because of my job and these shoes have been a god send. Highly recommend!

My search for a sneaker with a lot of cushioning has come to an end with the Ghost max. I walk 4 miles every day and my feet are not in pain. Brooks sneakers are well made with top materials that do not get holes inside on the back after 6 months or so of wear. Love the ghost max and it's a joy to put my feet in them to go for my walks knowing i would not be in misery afterwards. It has enough room in the toe box and your feet do not drown in them. Going to buy a second pair because no other sneaker can compare to the g-max.

Ive worn Ghosts for years, for training for anything between 5ks to half marathons - but having recently turned 40, Im finding my joints less and less happy with my running, so decided to give these a try. Unfortunately, Im not a fan of these for running - theyre super cushioned yes, but that cushioning makes me feel too disconnected from the road! Theyre also really tall which I think adds to feeling disconnected from the road. The height also makes my gait feel off because Im not used to my foot striking the ground from that height. Overall, I think this would be a great walking shoe but it was too much of an adjustment for me to use for running! However, there seemed to be ample room in the toe box - more than the regular Ghosts - and the addition of rubber around the top few eyelets was a nice touch to keep the laces in place. Sizing seemed roomier all around than the regular Ghosts too - Ive worn a 9 for years and would probably have gone down a half size if I was going to keep these for running. For foot reference, I have high arches and a narrow foot!

Just laced up the Ghost Max for my marathon training and road running adventures, and wow, are they a game-changer! From the get-go, these sneakers felt like they were made just for me. The comfort level is off the charts, providing a cushy ride without sacrificing responsiveness or durability.
Every mile feels lighter, and my feet are thanking me for the plush support that seems to defy the concrete jungle's harsh demands. Whether I'm clocking long distances or just out for a quick jaunt, the Ghost Max shoes have become my go-to pair. They've mastered the art of combining comfort with performance, making every run feel like a ghostly glide over the pavement.
For anyone on the fence about trying them out for their own marathon training or road running, consider this your sign. The Ghost Max isn't just a shoe; it's a revelation for your feet. Happy running!
