Customer Reviews Brooks Ghost Max

I originally bought a pair of the ghost 15. I love the fit and feel, but the solid black color I chose bored me a little. I decided to get the ghost max which is black with blue, pink and a white bottom. They are even more comfortable then the ghost 15, as well as being beautiful.

I run about 30-40 miles per week. With 85% of those miles in a daily trainer/work horse shoe. Up until now I have been in Hoka Clifton 9s, and while I enjoy the fit and responsiveness of those shoes (I would go back and forth between two pair) they would cause shin/calf pain for me and werent the most comfortable on a long distance. I got fitted at a running store and they recommended these to me. I was nervous to switch but Im so glad I did!!! These are slightly heavier than my previous dailies but they feel lighter. You can definitely feel the rocker motion and they help keep me off my heels. Ive run a couple 20 mile runs in them and they have stayed comfortable throughout. The toe box is roomy, the cushion is comfortable but doesnt make me feel like Im sinking, snappy enough to be quick and soft enough to be supportive. The fit is wonderful. I have no issues with them slipping, chafing my feet, causing blisters, or coming untied. I would 100% recommend them to any runner wanting a new daily do-it-all comfy shoe. The ONLY knock is that I would LOVE some updated color ways. I have Tuscany now which are very cute but Im not too fond of any of the other options. Im not one to buy a second pair of the same color once I retire a shoe so Im hoping for new choices!!

These are the most comfortable walking shoes I've ever had! I have a neuroma and a small bunion and have had no problems whatsoever. I'll be ordering another pair in another color soon.

The most comfortable shoe ever! My feet feel so good in these.

Roomy toe box, plenty of cushion

I have a wide foot and the Ghost Max Wide hits the mark! I love the cushion- its not sloppy, its cushion with some structure to it. The stack height feels a little high but for road I dont feel too unstable. (I have loosey goosey ankles!) The shoe allows for quick turnover. It is a little louder than my last shoe but hey, Im a sensitive beast.

So far so good! I like the fit even though they are a little bit too wide for me. I ordered an x wide since the last pair of Brooks I bought ran very small and narrow. Im still keeping them because I have had my toes crushed in Hokas for too long in search of cushioning for knees and hips. These shoes seem to have it all as far as fit and comfort. As a Mortons neuroma sufferer I appreciate the lower offset of these. I wish Brooks would make more models with higher cushioning and lower offset! I would like to see more colors for wide sizes and just to adopt this technology to other models.

Great cushion for the soles of feet

I bought them for my job. Im a nurse so 12 hour shifts on my feet are brutal. These shoes are great. Im not a runner anymore but they make me feel like it!!

These are awesome so far! I havent put a ton of miles on them yet but so far I have noticed less joint pain and springy feel. I loved them so much I bought another pair. Hoping they hold up, Im averaging about 12 miles a week right now.

These are my new go tos. I wear to work, on my feet all day. I wear them to train. I wear them to cross train. They work for all! I love these and will definitely be ordering another pair

Incredibly comfortable and so light weight. Really happy with this purchase and how it helps my feet during 12 hour shifts!

Perfect! Best brooks I've had and I've had them for 20 years! Highly recommend!!!

Favorite shoe. No heel pain with these.

I honestly love them and how comfy they are - I wear them constantly while going on walks or attending my Orange Theory classes. However, not too far into purchasing them did this rubber strap become loose! Im so bummed because I love them so much. See pic for reference

Like running on clouds. Love the ghost max and will not look back!

Great shoes however.Can you provide more color options for 2e for the ghost and/or ghost max? Or at least offer a black, white and/or tan option? Id pay more for additional colors or a custom option. Id gladly give you all my business however new balance offers more color selections for 2e and 4e shoes. This missed the mark for me

Love this shoe. Very light weight but stable. I feel energized from the first time I put them on. They will be my new shoe of choice.

Ghost Max have so much cushion, so comfortable and the fit is perfect.

I absolutely love these. A bit more cushion then the ghost and a little roomier so when your feet swell on long runs they dont get too tight.

The only complaint had nothing to do with the fit. The color I bought bleeds and all my socks are now pink!!!

Love this shoe but after 2 hours of work in these shoes the toe area puckers and makes my toe blister from rubbing. I replaced the first ones with the same shoe thinking there was an issue with that pair but unfortunately the second pair did the same thing. Very unfortunate as these shoes are the only ones I can wear with my Plantar fasciatis and my doctor wrote me a script for them.

I got the pink ones and I LOVE them! So comfy! Im going to get a neutral color next time for traveling! Thank you for such a awesome product!

The shoes are a perfect width yah. The are very comfortable when the first go in. They feel a little heavy the longer I wear them throughout the day. The last ability we will find out as time goes on as I walk an average of 8 to 10 miles a day.

Love the fit,,,for my bunions and Plantars Facitis! Just would like to see my size in another color! Size 9 , 2EE,
