Customer Images

Here's what customers have to say

The Brooks Ghost Max 2 shoes are generally well-received, with many customers praising their high comfort and cushioning. Reviewers describe the shoes as feeling very comfortable right out of the box, with good support and stability, especially for those with foot or joint issues. However, some customers were disappointed with changes to the design compared to the previous model, finding the new version more narrow and constricting in the toe box, with less overall cushioning and support. While a good option for those seeking a highly cushioned, comfortable shoe, some may prefer the fit and feel of the original model.

Ripped away from sole

Love the way the shoes feel and took away the constant foot pain but I have had mine maybe 3 months and they are ripping away from the sole so this pair did not hold up well at all.

Disappointed

Putting them on felt like wearing clouds, but walking or running in them made my feet hurt so bad. I was really disappointed because I really hoped they would work well for me. And I think I waited to long to return them.

Must Buy!

Comfiest shoes I’ve ever worn. Went a half size up based on other reviews I read and they fit perfectly!

Like walking on clouds

I have always worn brooks ghosts. These are like walking on clouds. I was hesitant at first to purchase as I did not have good experience with Hokas. I have zero regrets about buying these.

Comfortable and Cute

I really liked the Ghost Max. It felt like I was walking on a cloud, just very supportive and comfortable, very cute and didn’t make my foot look huge. Unfortunately, because of my own foot issue the way my foot leans caused it to be very sore on the right side of my toe and so I ended up returning them. I’ve had many Brooke shoes and not had the issue, but I did with this one.

Ghost Max 2 are BIG!

The ghost max 2 was comfortable, just like all the ghost shoes I have owned. However, I just don’t like the appearance. They look so big and wide. Guess I prefer a sleeker look.

Great for long distance running.

Very comfortable. I run in them 5 days a week on road. Each run is 6 plus miles. I would say they max out at about 460 miles or so for running purpose. They stay in great condition and shape though so they are still great for wearing on walks or just out for errands. I have went through 2 pairs already and just bought my 3rd pair
