Customer Reviews Brooks Ghost Max SE (Suede)

I have bunion and metatarsal issues. These shoes were one of several brands recommended by my Orthopedic Surgeon and Orthotics maker as a potential way to avoid surgery. Using this style shoe has made an enormous difference in my comfort and ability to walk long distances. I did find that my orthotics resulted in the need to buy a half size larger. It makes the shoes a little looser so I’m managing with thicker socks. I like the look of the shoe. I wish manufacturers would make these in leather or some fabric for rain. My other wish is that they’d make color options that look professional or appropriate for social occasions. I am happy I purchased these shoes in the 1/2 size larger than normal.

While the size is technically correct, my toes push up against the point of the shoe, making them a bit uncomfortable. Surprised because this brand has always been a go-to for me.

I wear 8.5 in brooks ghost & glycerin. Needed to order 9.5 in ghost max. I wear 8 in pumps/loafers & 8.5 in running shoes. Foot is 9.5 inches. Hope this helps

Great shoe - I just am going to get another color

Sizing seemed fine. I was looking for a shoe with more arch support. IMO this sneaker had no arch support that I could find. Footbed felt rather flat to me. I'm returning.
