Comfortable Cushioning

I bought these shoes about a month ago and they have become my favorite pair. Great cushioning that conforms to your feet make them comfortable when working out, running, or even just for longer walks.

Great Shoe!

I needed a great walking/running shoe and gave Brooks a try for the first time. These will not be my last pair and I’m already thinking about buying another.

Still Undecided.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased the Ghost Max 2 to try out since I normally purchase the Ghost series. I tried them for the first time a couple days ago, they seem rather stiff as opposed to the regular Ghost shoes. I purchase the men's version since they seem to fit me better than the women's shoes, and I like the fact I can order a wide width that fits my foot better and seems to be more comfortable when I walk, which is usually about 15 miles/day. I will keep wearing these, maybe they just need to be broken in a little more...time will tell!

Ghost 2 Vs 3

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just got my 5th pair of these and hands down my favorite shoes. I got the ghost 3 thinking they would be similar or maybe even better but the ghost 3 hurt my ankles and rub weird. I feel like forest gump in the ghost 2 and can walk/run forever.

Received Used Brooks!

Received my order today and it has hair inside both shoes and mud under the sole. It also came in a plain brown box. I spent almost 2 hours chatting with customer service to finally get a return label. I won't purchase here ever again.

Very Cushioned

The wide size works well for me as I find the standard width a bit narrow for my paddle feet.

All Day Cushion

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love these shoes as they're my everyday shoe. I run in brooks and see why this would be a good running shoe too.

Super Comfortable, My Go To

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Super comfortable in every way. Just felt a little restricted on the road, but the comfort trumps the slower feel.

Great Color!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I generally wear a 9.5W in women's, but alas, there are often a minimal variety of colors available in Wide, (I would love it if Brooks would allow for special orders because Wide-footed women enjoy funky colors too.). Until that day comes though, I have found a loophole that I thought I'd try when these awesome greens went on sale- men's sizes. To my delight, the 9 medium in men's actually fits me just fine. I doubt they'll be introducing a pretty maroon color in men's anytime soon, but at least it opens up a few more possibilities in the meantime!

Plush But Could Use More Toe Box Room

Very comfortable with generous cushioning but was somewhat let down by the amount of toe box space ordering true to size. I typically wear standard size, including on the Ghost 17, but will likely try a wide size since Brooks is one of the running shoe brands that has substantial wide offerings. Breathability is about as expected from past experiences with Brooks products, and weight is also on the heavier side but should be as expected for a max cushion offering.

Best Fit And Feel Ever!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Most comfortable fit and feel ever. Use these for officiating football. On my feet all day and feet feel great in these.
