The best shoe ever! I have been a long standing Brooks shoe customer. I have been a Glycerin fan and have had many pairs of the Glycerin 20 as well as the Ghost 13. I tried the Ghost Max and from the first wear I have never felt such comfort. I got my husband a pair, who has neuropathy, and they have been the best for him by far. I have now have 2 pair of the Ghost Max. I just wore them in Boston for the day walking approx. 6 miles with no problems. Please keep making this shoe. It needs no changes for me.

I bought the all black for work shoes. I work at an amusement park and am on my feet for my entire shift. I am overweight and my feet hurt so much during and after my shifts. These shoes are sooo cushioned, they have made a drastic improvement in my comfort level at work. The fit was standard to my usual shoe size.

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 didnt even have to put in my own orthotics in my shoes!

Comfortable for every day wear. I am on my feet walking on concrete floors 10 hours a day. These have replaced my hokas as my most favorite shoe

I bought these after having 2 knee surgeries this year because I wanted something to help absorb the impact as I work my way back into running. They are very soft and supportive. However, I was surprised at the big difference in heel drop from all my other Brooks running shoes. It feels strange to get up over the ball of my foot so much more and I worry this might cause some issues the more I run in them. But so far, my knee recovery is coming along nicely and I think these shoes are helping.

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.

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.)

Super cute! & I really like brooks, but this shoe looks very worn down after only a couple months of light wear. The bottoms are peeling and so is the fabric on the inside. I never even ran in the shoes. Only used them for light walking. Very poor quality.

Buy these. Dont buy Hokas! I bought Hokas and couldnt understand the hype. Sent back two sizes. I found the Ghost Max sooo much more cushiony and with a normal heel box. The Hokas, no matter what size had my heel flailing around. I highly recommend Ghost Max!

They felt great at first. They reminded me of Hoka Clifton. I really appreciate the 90 day try and return because I began to have foot pain in my mid tarsals. I wasn't sure what was causing it but everytime I wore this shoe it would be aggravated. To the point I walked 3 miles and it took 2 days for the pain to subside. Maybe it's my high arch? I'm not sure but not a good fit for me.

Comfortable! Helps with foot pain and balance especially when standing. Better than the regular Ghost. I wore the regular Ghost for one day after having tried the Max and my feet started to hurt again. Also, the Ghost Max doesnt hurt the tops of my feet like the regular ghosts did. I also like the room in the toes.

I have RA and lots of nerve pain/damaged feet. I have tried several pairs (glycerin GTS20, adrenaline, and other brands) and they didnt quite give me the comfort. I had never tried ghost and thought Id give it a try especially since I saw an article comparing the hoka bondi with the ghost max. I have been wearing the ghost max for 1 mth and I can had almost zero foot pain!!! This is literally the best sneaker and such a life saver!! I wear them every day on my 2-4 mile walks around my neighborhood and my feet never hurt after. I need another pair asap!! I am hoping more colors come back in stock. I usually wear a 9w in other brands but 8.5w fit perfectly in the brooks. I HIGHLY recommend these to ANYONE suffering from foot pain or just need a super comfy sneaker!

Bought these a few days ago but had to return. I work in vet med so Im on my feet all day. These started hurting my heel and knee after just a few hours of wearing them. Love my brooks glycerin 20, guess Ill be sticking with those.

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.

I have this in the navy blue. I wear 8 1/2 Wide, the only problem is they do not make the wide in the cool colors like the pink. Please think about making wide in more colors, Not fair to the rest of us who cannot wear a normal size shoe. So this is probably the only pair of Brooks I will buy.
