These are my favorite, by far, of all Brooks shoes! After a foot surgery 2 years ago, I struggled to find the right shoes for the gym and track. Glycerin Max was my favorite until these beauties came along. I no longer have ache and numbness on the ball of the foot and big toe. In fact, I walked my first 5K this fall thanks to the Ghost Max 2 with NO PAIN at all. THANK YOU!

I tried on a number of shoes at a local sporting goods store and kept coming back to the Ghost Max 2. They simply fit really well. As a veteran I ordered a pair of the Ghost Max 2 through Expert Voice as they are offered at a 25% discount. The shoes I received are the same size I tried on in the store but do not fit. Brooks or Expert Voice will not exchange the shoes so now I have a pair of $133.00 shoes that don't fit. Brooks quality control and their customer service are terrible. They obviously do not stand behind their product or take care of their customers.

I bought these more for everyday walking after my podiatrist recommended them for my plantar fasciitis. They have really helped with the recovery. So much cushion and comfort.

Disappointed in the lack of lateral support. My Hokas are much more efficient for my PT sessions. Ill keep the two pair I bought, but continue to use my Hokas for PT.

I was told this is the replacement for the Dyad 11, which was my favorite shoe of all time - you should bring it back! The Ghost Max 2 is like walking on a bed of marshmallows. Had to return these. Just not close to the support and cushioning combo the Dyad 11 offered back in the day.

Insole is firmer compared to Max 1. Toe box is narrower and puts pressure on toes. Can't wiggle toes anymore.

This shoe is the perfect balance of cushion, responsiveness and performance ... all in a stylish, lightweight design. I'm an urban user in a very hilly city that has more than its fair share of uneven paved surfaces. The Ghost Max gives me the support I need to navigate the surface changes and buffer the impact of all those hard surfaces. All-around great shoe.

Nothing about this product was satisfying. I ordered this in mens because my style of shoe is being discontinued. I also ordered it in black because all of the colors are too vibrant for me. When I put it on, I immediately found it has ZERO padding. And no, Im not going to buy additional padding because then Id have to buy a bigger shoe. Also, I was supposed to get a free pair of socks with my running shoes but didnt get that either. Its okay. Im super disappointed and now Ive got to go with a different brand of shoe. Seriously. With this shoe you might as well go with ASICS.

These were recommended by Brooks as shoes for my supination. They dont compare to the much better Dyads but unfortunately Brooks has discontinued them. I will not be buying these shoes.

Hi I'm not a runner yet. I'm on a weight loss journey. I started off walking my local park approximately 2.5 miles after work as well as more walking at work but you guys don't make a safety toe work shoe yet. Any way. I've tried others then someone mentioned your shoes I'm currently wearing the Brooks Ghost Max 2 and I Love them. With your help I've lost close to 100 lbs my goal weight is 200 lbs. I'm currently at 220 lbs. Thank you for your comfort in footwear to achieve this goal.

I bought these shoes because I do alot of walking daily. I have plantar faciitus which causes excruciating pain in my heel and arch. These shoes have been a blessing in reducing that pain.

Great shoe highly cushioned. Unfortunately Brooks doesnt value its mens wide or extra wide customers as for 2 years theyve only offered this shoe in black in these widths. A lighter neutral option would be very appreciated.

Like the extra cushioning and support; extremely comfortable, making for a solid workout without aching feet at the end. Just took a bit to get used to the different feel of the extra thick sole and how it rides on your foot. Once you are comfortable with how it feels, might be the best pair of Brooks I have bought in some time.

Outstanding shoe. Best I have ever owned. As an Octogenarian, balance support and of course, much less strain on my knees and hips. They are a ground up walking support.
