Perfect! Feels like im not even wearing a shoe. Lightweight

I’ve always bought the Brooks Ghost and these are the most comfortable pair I’ve owned. Very lightweight.

Love it!

I have the 8.5 wide. The shoe feels great! Perfect cushion and support! Would love to see the wide width offered in more color choices! Would also love to see a Brooks athletic sandal with same cushion and support. Summer is coming and while these do have a breathable upper, I have hot feet and need the open air of a sandal with this cushion and support.

This is my 3rd pair of brooks trainers. I have only had them a few weeks and the a bit of the sole has started to come away from the shoe. Disappointed in them this time as never had any trouble at all.

lasted 1 year

ordered the Ghost Max 1 last year and l loved them, except they were torn up within the year (pictures attached). I ordered the Ghost Max 2 because I needed a new pair and while I did love them, I’d hoped the bottom of the shoe had changed texture because that’s what it looked like in the pic. I guess I should have read into the material but whatever. They came and were exactly the same which was great since I loved the way they felt and looked, but became worried that they’d tear up again as quickly as the last pair. I just can’t be paying this price for she’s every single year that don’t hold up. For context, I don’t run, but I power walk on the road. I occasionally wear them on the treadmill and I wear them as my everyday shoe often. Very disappointed that I had to order a new pair so soon, but still 4 stars because of Brooks as a brand and that I had toe surgery a few years ago and they were highly recommended by my podiatrist and for good reason.

put a spring in my step

I have several pairs of Ghost Brooks shoes, this is my first pair of the Max, they are more comfortable and have a better fit.

Would buy again!

A great shoe....very comfortable and built right! It feels soft when walking/running. Love the cushion. I would buy another pair especially if they would offer the wide 2E width in more colors. I have bought three pair of them and wuld buy another if they had more colors in the wider widths.

Very comfortable

Finally, my feet don’t hurt! I purchased wide as I developed bunionettes and these sneakers afford me plenty of room. Plenty of cushioning ,although I do use walk fit arch supports as well.

Cushion

Love the fit and the cushion. I have sensitive toes so the wider box helps a lot. They are great for walking too, lots of bounce. This is my favorite so far.

Going the Mile but not Rinning it

This the 1st pair of Brooks i have ever bought. I don't run but I'm on my feet some days from 5 in the morning making bagels or 830 in the morning on the sales floor. I'm super happy with them! My feet don't hurt and I can go the mile. ;)
