Review for Zappos VIP Points(What's this?)

Poor SupportGreat Support
Unusually for a women's shoe, it has plenty of toe room but still fits snug around the heel. I downgraded it because the tongue does not stay in place, a defect with all my Brooks shoes. I've knotted the laces around the two loops on the tongue but it still slides off center. Other than that, it is very comfortable.

I have always bought the adrenaline but after having some physical pains and ailments and getting more of an analysis of what kind of shoe would be best for those, the Ghost/Ghost Max was recommended. I run and walk in them. It was an adjustment for me and at first I wasn't sure if I would keep them. They have a lot more cushioning than I am used to which I have grown to appreciate. I like a roomy toe box so I always size up a half size. This sort of made the whole shoe feel a bit large and loose. I have tied them tighter and it's working out ok but I am wondering how wear might look over time as my foot is moving around a bit more, especially around the back of the ankle. I am starting to like them more and plan to keep them.

I love the Ghost Max shoes! I have both this year's and last year's models. My only complaint for both models is how dirty the top of the toe box gets. I rotate my shoes and only use them for everyday life and they are already very dirty- not even 2 months after getting them. My last year adrenalines do not have this issue yet.

Usually, I wear Brooks Trace 2/Trace 3 shoes, and I love them so, but because I've been walking/jogging longer distances and have been dealing with occasional discomfort from a plantar fibroma, I decided to switch to a shoe with even more cushioning and supportthus, the Ghost Max 2. I've been using it for a few weeks now, and I am still breaking them in (something I didn't really go through with my Trace shoes). They have less "give" around the top of the foot, an issue I am hoping will resolve the more I use them. They do deliver on greater cushioning, thoughI feel less of an impact on my feet and knees as I move, particularly when jogging. I am hopeful that once I break these in, I might be able to give them a five, but until then, I'm sticking with a four.

The cushioning is very on point. I got the extra wide as my feet are 11cm wide. Road running with moderate hills. The heel part does not grip my heal and until I get into my run it feels like my foot may come out of the shoe. I ended up getting Dr. Scholls running arch support insoles as it felt like something was causing my arches to drop more than usual.

Use for walking since too old to run. Still do 4 miles though. They are very comfortable but not all pairs ordered are the same fit ,so never know what's to be expected.

Gorgeous shoes but I prefer my Pride ghost 15. These shoes have great functionality, comfort but overall I won't buy them again. I will stick with the traditional ghost

Big fan! I vary between 8-8.5 with Brooks and know that wide works best for me with this brand. I got an 8 wide and am content- could have gotten 8.5 and been fine, too. Great for being on your feet all day, long walks, walk/jogs, and short distance runs z super cushioned but still super light!

Ghost Max SE feels great for walking and being on my feet for extended periods of time. They are reminiscent of the Dyad. The fit is short so Id suggest going up a half size

Love the Brooks line up. This shoe is super comfy. I suffer from plantar fasciitis. They help. Even with expensive inserts my walking though is still limited.

Comfy, but very bulky. I'm coming off of the Ghost 14. Looking down these look very wide, they make my feet look huge. They are also very hot. Even in the winter. I will use them until they wear out but I probably would not buy again.

I used this product for walking and traveling as it seems like a pretty neutral color to go with many different outfits and was able to handle pavement and cobblestone pathways. The shoe does not offer a cloud like or gel like feel when walking, but gives you a more natural, almost as if youre walking, barefoot, but with less pressure on your joints. I did try to run in the shoe and it was not good, I started to get shin splints within a quarter mile of running at a 7 mph pace. The shoe may be OK for a nice and easy slow jog. I wore the shoe every day for at least 3 miles in addition to 8+ miles of walking during weekend travel.
As it is geared toward a walking shoe, I would be more hopeful for a darker color sole so the product appears cleaner for longer as it gets quite dirty with sand and dust or rain.
I am on my feet all day as a hospital provider and also a marathon runner. The shoe was a good balance for the Non training parts of my day.
Brooks Running gave me this free product to try.

I have worn Brooks Ghost for years and decided to get a pair of these for long runs during my marathon training. They were great on the road but on the treadmill they were very slippery because the bottom is plastic instead of a normal rubber. Made the treadmill run much harder!

I love this shoe. At first when it arrived I did not like the look. Then I put them on and they were so sporty, I love them!! I have been using them for work. I am a teacher and on my feet all day. The cushion in these shoes is like walking on a cloud. I have narrow feet and they fit well. I have been wearing them to work everyday for three weeks and they did not require any break in period. They wash up well. I highly recommend them for those who spend significant time on their feet. Brooks Running gave me this free product to try.

I'm still debating whether to keep these. The fit is decent, but I’d definitely recommend following the advice to size up by half a size. I ordered a 6 wide (my usual size is 5.5, though my width varies by brand).
Initially, I was worried about the tongue being too big and causing irritation while walking, but thankfully, that wasn’t an issue. My main concern is that the shoes feel a smidge too small when worn with my usual socks (Bombas Originals, medium cushioning). The sock seams press into my feet, making them slightly uncomfortable. However, they work well with lightweight socks.
I want these to work, but still undecided on whether to keep them!

I'm usually between size 8.5 and 9. 9's fit best in these. I love the cushion in these shoes and the look of them. I do not feel they are too bulky, but I use them casually and for walking. These are the shoes I reach for when I want comfort. They help with my tight calf muscles and Achilles tendonitis tremendously. They also relieve joint pressure and back pain.

I really don't know what happened between the Ghost Max 1 and 2. The Ghost Max 1 was like a dream and was the most comfortable shoe for my plantar fasciitis. The Ghost Max 2 feels so hard and like it barely has any cushioning. Truly hoping the Ghost Max 3 somehow fixes these issues.

They were pretty nice the first run and then it started hurting my shins more after the second or third.
