Customer Reviews Brooks Ghost Max 2

I got the black color in wide I will be standing all day at the salon and Im pain free in this shoe So cushy Im happy and feeling great Not running but walking easily very fast

I upgraded from Ghost to Ghost Max last year for basketball officiating and the smooth ride was instantly noticeable. I bought Ghost Max 2 this year to officiate volleyball knowing they would have great cushioning, at nearly 70 years old that's a big need for me.

I love this shoe! I am not a runner but I am a dedicated walker (about 25 miles per week) who is approaching age 70. I had tried the first Ghost Max version and, although they felt very comfortable they made me feel unstable and I cannot risk a fall at my age. This is not the case with the Ghost Max II. I have dropped metatarsals and this shoe offers plenty of cushioning. I also have a very wide forefoot with bunions and the EE width in this shoe is just wide enough for me. The toe box could be a little deeper as it is not quite as deep as the Ghost 16 but I'm not having any problems with it. I wish the size 9 EE width were available in more colors. The plain black almost resembles a man's shoe in the larger sizes and the Coconut color I purchased seems to make my feet look even larger than they are. If you are an older walker who passed up the original Ghost Max because of feeling unstable, give the Ghost Max II a try, especially if you have wide problem feet!

I loved the look of the Ghost Max 2 and was hoping they would work out. Unfortunately they've changed the toe box in the Ghost Max 2. They kill my toes. I had to send back. I had to take them off before I got home. Please bring the Ghost Max back.

I ordered the extra wide - which I know is unusual, but I would like options in a few more colors. I've always struggled with purchasing shoes, mostly because I wasn't constrained to shoes as a young person, and my feet adjusted naturally.

I was struggling with serious back pain and thought maybe it was time to get new Brooks! I usually buy glycerins or adrenalines but thought Id try something new, and Im very happy with the ghost max! I love Brooks shoes, and being a housekeeper I absolutely need good shoes

Hey, these are great! Ive been wearing the Hoka bondi but thought Id give these brooks ghost max 2 a try and I love them!

These are my first pairs of Ghost/Ghost Max so I am not familiar with past variations. I am happy they are available in a wide, which is what I needed. Even with the wide size I feel like I need more room in the toe box, they feel narrow there. I did experience ny toes rubbing on the sides once but hopefully that won't be a problem. I find them both supportive and cushioned which is what I look for in a shoe.

Love this shoe! Extra cushioning which I like as I am running around a hosptial all day. The color is fun and I get lots of compliments on them!

I just don't love em. I always run in Brooks Ghost and expected Max2 to be more cushioned for road running. I don't find them any more cushioned than the regular Ghost sneaker. If I knew that, I would've stuck with my regular Ghosts and not spend money on a pair that is redundant.

Ghost Max 2 is my first Brooks shoe, so I didn't know what to expect. I do not run, but I do intentional walking everyday. I have extra wide feet with a narrow heel, and the extra wide GM2 fits almost perfect, without much heel slippage. They feel cushiony, but supportive at the same time. At first the rocker bottom felt weird, but within a few minutes I barely noticed it. The shoes are fairly lightweight. I have painful knees and not able to wear shoes with 12mm heel to toe drop, but the 6mm drop of the GM2 works well. So far, I think the Ghost Max 2 is the best shoe I've tried out. I believe I will be keeping them. I do recommend that others try it as well.

I have 2 pair of the original ghost max, and I love them. When I first put these on my feet felt like they were enveloped in a cloud, but my foot is more narrow than wide and I had to tighten the lace to the point that they buckled on top, and after wearing a few times to work, where I walk approx 5 miles a day, and on my feet for 8 to 9 hours, the shoe kept rubbing against my ankle. Not comfortable. Im going to look at something else. I have to say Im never nervous about purchasing $150+ shoes from Brooks because they stand behind the product with their return policies. Im a forever customer as long as that never changes!

Loved it! Its my first pair and Im very pleased. Super comfortable for my feet.

The toe box in this new version is much smaller than in any previous Brooks shoe Ive bought.

I had been having some pain with another brand of shoes I was trying. I came back to Brooks and the Ghost Max 2 was the ticket! No more pain. Thank-you Brooks for smooth transitions.

Incredible show with so much cushioning it feels like a tiny trampoline is under each foot. Love them!!!!

Very comfortable, supportive, spring shoe. After years of standing on my feet in Healthcare, these make my feet feel great.

I don't feel they as comfortable as the Ghost Max. The toe box feels much narrower. I wish you made these like the Ghost Max. They even hurt the top of my toes. I have about 75 miles on them and they still feel tight. They are a pretty shoe

I am new to Brooks. After heeding several recommendations from people I know and reading many reviews on the different styles, I ended up going to my local Dick's to try some on. It was a hard call, but I decided to go with the Ghost Max 2 and am wearing them around the house now. I am so pleased with their design and the way they move my step forward when I walk. I also like their stability as I am coming off an extremely painful injury to my outer knee. These shoes will be used for daily outdoor walking on hard surfaces.

The Ghost Max 2 has plenty of cushioning and looks super stylish! I've worn Brooks Ghost consistently throughout the years and thought I couldn't find a better shoe. The Ghost Max 2 has me even MORE satisfied and comfortable!

Love the added cushioning

I purchased Ghost Max 2 because I was in need of a new pair of sneakers. I ordered a wide shoe in my actual size; however, they seem to run small because there is not enough room in the toe box for full comfort.

I love them! My foot doctor recommended them to me for my plantar fasciitis and they do help that problem. They are very comfortable. Like my doctor said, you get what you pay for . They are a bit pricey but they are worth it to me. Thank you!

Love the new color! My newest pair. Love my brooks!
