I love EVERYTHING about this shoe, I definitely wanted a leather shoe with the awesome comfort I get from my other Brooks. In my opinion they are cute and trendy. Got the 8.5 medium which is my usual Brooks size and other brands. Pricey but soo worth it.

I bought these as an extra pair for clinicals during Nursing school. They are super comfy so far, but the only problem I have is that they slip a little on my right heel. Maybe that is just my feet, but I dont know. I did buy wide because that is what I usually get in Brooks since they tend to fit a little snuggly. Luckily, I bought Brooks socks, which are secure on my foot, because so far my heel is not irritated. I love all my other Brooks Ghost shoes, it is just this one little problem with these for me.

I was not a huge fan of these shoes. They are very bulky, which felt clumsy and unstable to run in. They are fine for walking, but I prefer a lighter, less cumbersome shoe. I also think the chunky design looks dated. Overall they are not for me.

These white Brooks Ghost Max Leather shoes are so fun to wear! They are super comfortable, easy to clean and they go with every casual outfit I wear, whether sporty or not. They protect my feet during my short runs but are also great to wear all day long. The heal fits tight around the Achilles tendon, which initially pushed my toes closer to the front but with wear that has relaxed a little bit. The drawback comes with its purposeful-design: the leather. They do not breathe. For me, this shoe works best for casual wear, walking and occasional short/casual running. Though the comfort was great I quit using them for my runs and reverted to my old shoes due to the back of breathability. If you are looking for a new running shoe this will not give your feet any ventilation, keep that in mind. But, if you love the look, need for ventilation is not a concern or you want to wear as a walking shoe this is a great one to provide that comfort and style!

The best comfortable and the best looking shoes that Ive been waiting for so long. I bought the mesh version in white and after 1 month its totally dirty , impossible to clean it . Please do not stop making this style!

Needs more arch support- feels like there is none and it hit my inner ankle around the top such that it caused pain making them unbearable. Also the insole should feel more cushioned. I had to return them after walking in them in the house once. For reference I liked the now discontinued Ghost 12 and 13 but think Brooks improvements are unfortunate.

I’ve been wearing a couple of weeks hoping to break in. I normally wear Brooks Ghost and these are tighter. Sides of feet are sore after wearing. Still hoping to break them in more.

The sneaker actually fit very nicely. However, the room inside the toe box area was so tight! I took them to travel and do some walking in Dublin and half a day in my feet were in so much pain! I ended up returning them and I’m always grateful for Zappos and how they stand behind their products!

I needed a leather shoe to wear in wet weather. This size 10 was too narrow in the forefoot. I find the leather shoes across the brands tend not to give as much as the mesh. So I had to size up 1/2 size. Hard to navigate on narrow stairs, though. Brooks is the only shoe that accomodates a very bulky and deep orthotic.

I have worn Brooks athletic shoes for many years. First leather shoe is this one. Fit is okay. Walked for the first time in them, and they feel a bit on the clunky side. My feet scuff occasionally while walking which never happens with other shoes. There seems to be a tendency for supination to the outside on one foot - again have not experienced that with any other shoe. Not a shoe I would buy again.

Not true to stated size. These are a full half-size smaller. Disappointed in Brooks for marketing these with wrong sizes!

I am a solid women's size 9 and had to order a size 10. Be prepared to size one whole size up. Got these for nursing school and they are so comfortable - highly recommend!

Super comfortable. Run a little on the small size. I probably should have gone up 1/2 size.

They are not only comfortable, they provide the best support for my legs, knees and back! I have anteroloisthesis of the lumbar spine, which is a separation of my discs that have led to a pinched nerve; and these shoes have been heaven sent...thank you!

I’ll put an orthotic in mine. I thought arch support felt like some might find it a big flat but I liked it. VERY short. Needed to purchase half size bigger to try that and see if long enough.
