These are so comfortable. Really enjoying putting these on for every walk.

Integrity Failing !

Fits good and comfy but the left shoe is crinkling by the big toe and spreading after 1 week! I work indoors mostly and walk 3-4 miles a day at work. should not be crumbling this much already after paying as much for these shoes. I would not recommend these shoes!

I've had the Ghost Max 2 for a month now. After two 8 mile runs, two 5 mile runs, and one 3 mile run, I can say the cushioning on this shoe is great. The only big issue with this shoe is the toe box is small. I read the reviews prior to purchasing these shoes and saw some mixed reviews about the toe box size. Having owned Glycerins 20, 21, and 22 and many generations of the normal Ghost shoe, I can confirm the toe box is definitely narrow. I purchased the Ghost Max 2s for long runs and unfortunately I will only be able to use them for very short runs.

Most Comfortable Shoes I've Ever Owned! Almost Perfect. Definitely Recommend.

Great shoe. First, as somebody with extra-wide feet, I have to say that what originally got me buying Brooks products and keeps me coming back is that Brooks offers high quality, high-end wide shoes that truly are wide and have sensibly a reasonably "foot-shaped" forefoot. Many manufactures sell shoes as being wide, but from my experiences and from their reviews, they are not even close to being wide enough for many customers. And Brooks offers a "wide" range of models in WIDE and EXTRA-WIDE versions - currently there are 10 men's styles available in EXTRA-WIDE. As for the Ghost Max 2 specifically, it is the most comfortable shoe I've ever worn. Plush cushioning combined with a soft, breathable upper that doesn't have any pressure points and is available with plenty of forefoot room, all while still being quite lightweight, adds up to a shoe you can wear all day without any issues. The only thing about these shoes that could be better would be to offer a more supportive insole, but for many people the stock insoles might be fine. Decades of racing bicycles and playing tennis have left me with some some foot issues, and I need extra support in the metatarsal/ball of foot area, so I remove the original insoles and replace with Abeo 3D3 Max Performance Orthotic insoles. These take Brooks's already fantastic shoes to an even higher level.

Half Marathon Training

The Ghost Max 2 is a very comfortable and supportive shoe for my everyday training miles!
