Customer Reviews Brooks Ghost Max 2

It's a fine shoe. Comfortable and helps my feet except for the heel on my left foot. I alternate it daily with the glycerine 22 which seems better for the heel but not the rest of the foot. I still haven't found the right shoe.

Still breaking it in but not as comfortable for walking as the Ghost Max 1. Primary use is walking and gym workouts.

Recommended for my orthopedist as a "rocker" shoe, to help address lingering symptoms from a foot sprain (not ankle, foot). The cushioning reduced, but did not eliminate the constant, varying pain. But my toes felt cramped, altho' I've had the same "D" width for decades. I thought the problem MIGHT be resolved by trying an "E" width, but I didn't experience a sense of a notably wider fit. Enough whining. It's a comfortable shoe. When I think while I walk, I roll forward with each step. Def. an upgrade from a competitor's gel-shoe. On sale, these are a competitively-priced shoe, the dark gray color conservative enough that I could use them even for smart-casual dining attire. I just need to find a shoe which cramps less my (apparently widening) toes.

Not enough support under toes. Laces, too constrictive.

I like the shoes for the stability and comfort for walking. I currently have 70 miles on these shoes from walking and the soles are wearing out. These are not the first pair of Brooks I've had that the soles wear thin, quickly. I am 6'3 265lbs and walk a lot, I wish the soles would last longer than 4-6 weeks!

Ghost Max 2- first impress bought to replace my Brooks Levitates. Fantastic fit & feel. Not durable & tread wearing early. Pine Grove color great, but is the name of our crazy runner hospital.

Chose good cushion/support over control as a slower runner. Color available was black only in wide for the sale. Overall very good for casual runners prioritizing cushion.

The shoes are too clunky now, the original ghosts were better. If I wanted hookas , I would've bought them.

After wearing these shoes for a while(breaking in period), they have become very comfortable. They have me standing a little higher and are well cushioned. I use them primarily for walking. I walk the dog at least 2 miles a day.

I bought these for a summer alternative to my Addiction Walker II and they are good having more ventilation and lighter weight. Minor niggles are the flat laces and the parts that they thread into are kinda flimsy. I found the fit a little snugger than the AWs with less support but more cushioning in the footbed/sole. Overall a good value and I am happy with them.

I really REALLY want to love this shoe. I can't put my finger on it, but it is lacking something, possibly just a little more support for flat-footers. I love everything about this shoe from the size, to the fit, to the style. The rocker design is fun and makes walking/running interesting. I just wish my feet didn't fatigue so much from these, though they have been the best option I have found so far between the Glycering gts and adrenaline gts.

Great shoe all around! Prescribed by my Podiatrist.

Very comfy fit. I have wide feet and the regular fit is perfect!

I have two pairs of the Ghost Max 2 - One is the leather versionReally help with neuropathy

Replacing my last pair of Dyad 11's... :( The internet says the Ghost Max 2 is the replacement. I find it is a good neutral shoe, but the cushioning is excessive. While a good shoe, not a Dyad 11 in my opinion.

Definitely runs at least 1/2 size small if not a full size small. Comfortable with extreme cushioning.

Sound shoes. Two minor problems: 1. Less cushioning for the sole's thickness than I expected and less than with Hoka of similar thickness. 2. The extra wide is a bit wider than in other Brooks I own. Unless you're VERY wide, you might try W instead of Extra W.

Very comfortable but miss the support of the GTS. If it was offered with comfort and support it would be ideal.

Upgrade from the 1st edition, better fit. Surprisingly light and good energy return from a beast of a shoe. (No, not that 'Beast'). Definitely appreciate the lower stack height.

Narrow and small. Well cushioned. Had to size up a whole size to get a good fit.

Not the best looking shoe. Was firmer felling than I expected. Need more colors in extra wide.

I really liked the shoe a lot. I like the rocking feature because I have neuropathy so it really helped with controlling my dropfoot. It was also very comfortable. The reason I returned it is because the upper half of the shoe was way too soft for me. I need a shoe with a fairly stiff upper half to help control my foot movement better. I have had many pairs of the Beast over the years but even those don't seem to help me much anymore. So, great shoe, just didn't fit my needs.

Best shoe for plantar fasciitis, also for standing long hours on your feet. The only thing I don't like is the color,I wear a 9.5 4E width and had only 2 colors to choose from. Got the ebony black with dark blue stripe, I hate the color, but didn't have a choice as I needed these for work. Brook's please get better brighter colors for us people who wear a 4E width !!!

Truly comfortable runner. I wish it had more of the bathtub feel / hold from the Caldera ! Still a go to but prefer the fit of the trail oriented squishy runner.

My new favorite sneaker. Extremely comfortable and good-looking. Very cushiony. Fit is true to size and perfect for me. I appreciate the substantial laces. I'm deducting 1 star however because the outsole rubber is super thin and wears out quickly, which is simply unacceptable for such expensive sneakers. It's also bad for the environment to have to dispose of these big sneakers so quickly.
