Why We Like The Brooks Ghost Max Shoe

From our long and slow runs to exploring new cities, the Brooks Ghost Max Shoe pads the ground beneath our feet. Featuring the most cush and the lowest drop in the Ghost line from Brooks, this shoe is all about comfort and the natural ride. The midsole's plush foam and 6mm heel-toe drop protect our feet from the stresses of hard surfaces while letting them flex freely throughout every stride.

I love these new Ghost! The toe box is very roomy as others have commented, but that is a plus for me. The spongy sole is really fun to walk or run in. 5 stars after hating and returning my Ghost 15.

WOW

Just received my shoes today and I must say they're one of the most comfortable pair of running shoes I've tried. No heel slip and very minimal slip with my custom orthotics; I don't even think I need my inserts. I appreciate the free beanie especially since the shoes aren't on sale. The only thing is I'm not thrilled with the color papaya. I wish they offer better color selection (like with their adrenaline GTS 22's - I have the black, yucca and flamingo pink).

I love this shoe. It is so lightweight I don’t even feel like it is on my foot. I feel lik I’m walking on air, as I don’t feel my feet hit the floor.

Best fit for foot relief pain!

I have several pair of Brook's shoes. I was amazed at the comfort of the Ghost 15 Max. There is a remarkedly difference from Ghost 15 (and I have three pairs of those). I wore the Ghost 15 Max for a few weeks and then purchased another pair. I have other brands of shoes, but these are definitely my favorite. It is so nice to go about my day without foot pain!

Best sneaker I’ve ever worn - RA patient

I have RA and lots of nerve pain/damaged feet. I have tried several pairs (glycerin GTS20, adrenaline, and other brands) and they didn’t quite give me the comfort. I had never tried ghost and thought I’d give it a try especially since I saw an article comparing the hoka bondi with the ghost max. I have been wearing the ghost max for 1 mth and I can had almost zero foot pain!!! This is literally the best sneaker and such a life saver!! I wear them every day on my 2-4 mile walks around my neighborhood and my feet never hurt after. I need another pair asap!! I am hoping more colors come back in stock. I usually wear a 9w in other brands but 8.5w fit perfectly in the brooks. I HIGHLY recommend these to ANYONE suffering from foot pain or just need a super comfy sneaker!

Amazing shoes!

Love the lightweight, cushiony feel. Trained for and ran a half-marathon in them and they were amazing!

My favorite shoes yet!

I’ve had these for 3 weeks now and LOVE them! I have been wearing Ghosts for years and tried Glycerins last year. I love both Ghosts and Glycerin but Ghost Max have been the best thing for my plantar fasciitis. No foot pain at all. I’m currently running 3-4 miles twice a week.

Soooo soft

I bought these after having 2 knee surgeries this year because I wanted something to help absorb the impact as I work my way back into running. They are very soft and supportive. However, I was surprised at the big difference in heel drop from all my other Brooks running shoes. It feels strange to get up over the ball of my foot so much more and I worry this might cause some issues the more I run in them. But so far, my knee recovery is coming along nicely and I think these shoes are helping.

Vacation for my feet.

I am an out-of-shape walker looking to regain my former mileage glory. My Ghost Max is a favorite in my rotation for days that I want to put in some mileage. They are very cushioned. They are very comfortable. I do agree that they seem larger than my other Brooks (Launch GTS), but not so much so as to be a size issue. My heels appreciate the cushioning. Love Brooks :)
