Customer Reviews Brooks Ghost Max 2

I use these shoes for walking and for everyday errands in the summer. They are great! I have arthritis in my lower back, and these shoes alleviate my lower back pain.

These shoes are probably the best shoes I've gotten in a while!! I love the extra cushion for being on my feel all day and they are so cute! Everyone in my office has already ordered the same ones

Great shoe, helped me Get back into training without heel pain!! My new favorite Brooks shoe.

They were a little snug at first but has stretched a little bit and now they fit like a dream!

This the only shoe I have been wearing for the past year and I love it.

Uncomfortable. Hurt my feet. They feel like walking on boards.

Great support with the bonus of cushion

These are very comfortable for walking but I felt like they created extra resistance when running, like I was running up hill even though I wasn't. They are a tad more comfortable than the Ghost 16 (except for running). I've tried several recent Brooks athletic shoe lines and my favorite is Glycerin 21 (even across other brands). Ghost Max 2 is my second favorite. They do run a bit small. I used to love Adrenaline's but the 23's felt like I was walking barefoot on concrete so I returned them.

Im obsessed with the Ghost Max. I had the first Ghost Max and put so many miles on them with no issues! Absolutely love the fun orange color of the new Max 2. I tried out the Glycerin Max since there was so much hype, but was disappointed in the lack of stability. Back to the Ghost Max I went and I am so happy. It has the perfect mix of stability, snug fit, yet super cushy. Love!!!

The Ghost Max 1 was perfection! The 2nd version is narrow across the toe box, runs slightly short and is heavy. Im disappointed but will keep these. This isnt a shoe I can be on my feet all day in though.

These shoes definitely took the weight off of my heels. They are very cushioned, which I like at work. The rocker shape has me adjusting to more weight in the balls of my feet but moves me quickly when Im walking.

They are not quite as cushiony and they don't rock you forward as much as the older version. They're alright, but the older ones were better.

Love the shoe. Great fit even with a broken toe! No running for a while for me.

Not as ample a toe box as the older model.

I like how they fit and look, but I tried them for an extra cushion heel and I dont feel more cushion than other brooks sneakers. I wear them

My feet no longer hurt after walking. Great shoe!

Best cushioning ever. My feet are still happy at the end of the day

I love my Ghost Max shoes and wanted to buy more but to my disappointment Brooks only made the Ghost Max 2. They are too small in the toe! I wish they would bring back the original Ghost Max.

I do not run. Feet deformed. These sneakers are the best for me to get around in. Foot pain majorly decreased. Thank you !

These are the most supportive, cushioned shoes I have ever worn! I feel stabilized with every step. I don't run, but need a more supportive shoe for tendonitis. My usual size of 8.5 (womens) is a little snug with thin socks, even with a wide width. I tried a half size up, but the 9 did not feel more roomy. The only difference was a higher collar, which aggravated my ankles. After 2 1/2 weeks of wear, the 8.5 size feels a bit more comfortable, so hopefully this will work.

I loved the Ghost Max 1, however they did wear out more quickly than I expected. I went to repurchase while the Max 1 was being phased out. Decided to try the Max 2, ordered the same size as the previous edition and they was too small. Or more specifically the padding under the toes seemed to not be present under the tips of my toes. These shoes were also more narrow in the toe box. This happened to me with the glycerine stealth fit as well. Hope the 3rd edition of Ghost Max is more like the first edition. However the Max 2 has a nicer appearance

Overall I like the look of the shoe, and thought the cushioning felt good, but my heels were slightly slipping when I walk and my right thigh and knee hurt terribly since wearing the Max 2. Today was day 2 and after a half hour walk I had to take them off. I loved my Ghost 14, they helped my plantar fasciitis tremendously, now Im not sure what Brooks I should try.

Horrible. Ordered the same size as my Ghost Max originals, which were so soft to walk on and had the nicest, roomy toe box. These are NOT the same in any way. Too short, my big toe hit front of the shoe in a weird, uncomfortable way. Super hard, no cushion at all. Sent them right back. *sigh* It took me searching for a while but I found some more regular Ghost Max size 6.5 on sale and ordered them. But after I wear these out, I guess I will have to go through the process of finding a good running shoe ONCE AGAIN. Why change the design?? Why ruin a good thing, Brooks?? Ghost Max original was literally the best, most comfortable shoe ever. Got my hopes up just to shatter them in the worst way!!! These shoes score an F for FAIL

I sized up a half size and are still too small. Not enough cushion when on your feet all day. Not comfortable.
