Customer Reviews Brooks Ghost Max

I wanted to wait to write a review to see how long these would last. These were my runners/walkers exclusively for 5 months. I used them about 4 days a week, 2-5 miles per day. I'm sad to say these are already worn out and now causing heel pain because they are too squishy and have lost support. I wish I could find a shoe that would last.

I originally purchased these last month as nursing school shoes because I knew I would be on my feet a lot. While the comfort and support in them are great, my sole started coming unglued around the side and back on my left shoe about 3 weeks in wearing them 2x a week. I reached out to CS to see if anything could be done. Maybe exchange them for a new pair. They sent me out a new pairbut they are clearly used. Dirty bottoms and creased. Now I have one pair that is coming apart and another that is used. I'm a germ-a-phobe and wearing someone else's shoes that they've sweat in grosses me out. I wish I would have just returned the defective pair.

I have been buying Brooks running shoes for the last 10 years. I decided to try the Ghost Max and they were comfortable when I first got them. I walk 20 miles a week. After eight weeks, the soles were worn prematurely. Not happy with the durability of these shoes compared to all of the other Brooks running shoes I have used. With the soft sole and the tread wearing very thin, I ended up with plantar fasciitis.

The shoes fit good but the sole is firm not a lot of give was expecting soft. Like a Ghost . I was wrong.

Shoe is very stiff and hurts my feet. Doesn't feel like much cushion on my heels after 12 hour shifts. I should've stuck with glycerin.

These have been my worst Brooks running shoes that I have ever owned. I went to a running shoe store to get sized then decided to order them off Brooks website using a military discount code. The inside of my feet develop terrible blisters almost immediately. I do not have this problem with my Brooks Ghost 16 or 17s. I wish I had tested them out sooner before the return timeline had passed since they are so low mileage.

While I do love my other pair of Brooks, Everytime I wear these ones I get a stitch in my calf after half a mile...everytime. These also are WALKING/RUNNING shoes - they will not keep you stable standing because of their propelling/bunch design. I'm probably just going to donate them since they're not helping me walk at all.

Could not get used to standing in these shoes.

After just 3 weeks, there is already a hole in the fabric over my toes. This has never happened before after such a short time.

Plastic lace support rubs the on ankle. Noticeable within the first few miles. Increased pain over time, even when not running. Returned

I'm a bigger guy and they were comfortable for a couple weeks but unfortunately are not working for me any longer. The top of the toe box seems very thin and will have holes develope prematurely.

They had way too much cushion for me. I returned them and ordered my regular Ghost's!

Didn't like the shoe at all. I wear Ghost shoes. My favorite. The Ghost Max is not comfortable at all RETURNED THEM
