Customer Reviews Brooks Ghost Max 2

Third pair of max. I where a wide in regular Ghost but had to get a regular in the Max. Really like the Max shoe and ordered again months later and the shoes were so narrow I could barely get them on. The older Max 2 is almost 1/2" wider when measuring than the new one ? Returned and we will see if it's any better. The new regular wide ghost is also tighter. Seems to not have consistent sizing even in the same model. I have probably bought over 20 pair of Brooks shoes over the years.

Very comfortable for walking but way too thick and almost heavy feeling when I'm running, light jog ok but any speed and I feel like I'm going to trip.

First time trying the ghost. Just weren't to shoe for me. I work in healthcare and only tried them while at work, I did end up returning.

I really wanted to love these shoes as I am a huge Brooks Ghost fan. Unfortunately they were kind of a let down. I had hope for some awesome, comfy, springy shoes judging the size of the sole but they fell flat. They fit the same as my Ghosts but the Max just feel heavier. Maybe it's my imagination but my feet just feel tired after a run in these. They feel more like anchors and less like cushioned, springy shoes. I still love Brooks and will continue to but the regular Ghosts but the Max is not for me

Cushioning and support are great. But the tongue always slides down into one side after I've done about an hour of walking. This compromises the support for which I bought the shoe.

Overall, I do like the Ghost Max 2. The fit is nice, but would prefer a little snugger heel cup. The shoes are responsive and for the most part, comfortable. I'd love to see more cushion, but do understand that translates to a heavier shoe. I've used different lacing techniques to get the shoe to snug up in the toe box, which I have had some rubbing issues with.

I have problem feet. I wear a 10D women's. I don't understand why the only thing that is available to people wearing that size is black or gray. I'd like to try blue or green or something, but the cutest shoes are never available in a wide width. It's disappointing because they fit wonderfully

I'm so sad that these are not as good as the first version of this shoe. My main issue is the toe box is so much smaller than v1. Feels fine under foot, I just need more room.

Overall they are okay. They take a while to break in because they are so stiff. They are stiff & hard compared to the original ghost max's. The original Ghost Max was perfect, offered perfect amount of cushion & so extremely comfortable! Brooks took away a great product, I miss the original Ghost Max. But the Ghost Max 2 is just okay.

I bought them for my wife and she absolutely loves the color, but she was so disappointed because they don't come in her actual size. Upon further searching your website it seems you don't cater to women with larger sizes with your more attractive color shoes.

I like how they fit and look, but I tried them for an extra cushion heel and I don't feel more cushion than other brook's sneakers. I wear them

This shoe didn't work for me- I need to stick to the original Ghost. I do a lot of walking and this one caused my gait & back to be off. Glad Brooks has a great return policy!

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 I'm not sure what Brooks I should try.

The Ghost Max 1 was perfection! The 2nd version is narrow across the toe box, runs slightly short and is heavy. I'm disappointed but will keep these. This isn't a shoe I can be on my feet all day in though.

Great looking shoe. Cushion is awesome. These were just too tight in the toebox for me. Across the balls of the feet and at the base of the toes just didn't feel good enough to keep (or run) in them. BTW: I don't have wide feet, but maybe a runner with a narrow foot would not have an issue.

still in the process of trying this shoe, as my torn peroneal longus tendon continues to heal. I find it just a bit more comfortable than the regular Ghost, I think the Ghost 15 is what I've been using. I'm walking, no running, on flat surfaces and alternate this shoe with the Glycerin 21 GTS, which I am also trialing. I also alternate with Keens Targhee III. I'm undecided about keeping it, still using it for the 90 days that Brooks invites us to do. I also recently tried Ghost Max 2. By comparison I like this version better.

I like ghosts max 2 but it's not as comfortable as original ghost max. The shoe does not fit as well as my ghosts did.

Am keeping these but haven't made up my mind about whether or not I like them better than the regular Ghost 16. They are VERY cushiony, and it sort of feels like I have to work harder to walk in them (I'm not a runner). Maybe I'll get used to them, but I'm not sure. Also, maybe the toe box could be a little wider for maximum comfort.??

Sometimes you can't tell if a shoe is right for you until it is tested. As a rule, I Brooks shoes and will continue to buy them. This shoe just doesn't work for me.

I like that this shoe has toe room. I have rheumatoid arthritis and have had a hard time finding shoes where my toes aren't scrunched. I currently have the ghost max shoe. I don't think this ghost max 2 has as much cushion as the ghost max. My feet hurt after wearing this shoe for the day.
