I believe I got wrong shoes, and I need to return them. They are killing my feet. They are definitely not like my other pair I have

Supportive

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Most supported sneaker I have worn. Comfortable. My podiatrist recommended these to me 2 years ago and it is the only sneakers I wear now daily.

Super Comfortable

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Super comfortable. Wide width is just what I needed. Would have been nice to have a choice of different colors in wide width.

Lasting Comfort And Durability

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the support. As an older, avid walker I appreciate the cushion and the stability of these shoes. I walk on asphalt so I can go through shoes pretty quickly. These shoes give me more miles per pair than any others I've tried.

Orthotics Compatible; Absorbs Impact

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Paragraphs time! I have fibromyalgia but I love to walk all over the place. I was struggling to find shoes that accommodated my lifestyle without compromise, especially when it came to finding a running shoe that would be compatible with my orthotic insoles. These shoes blow me away! I want to live in them, even walk around the house in them! I didn’t realize how much residual aching and pain I was dealing with from walking around until I realized it wasn’t there after wearing these! Such relief! The shoes themselves are rather bouncy, but in a good way because it seems like that’s how they absorb so much of the impact. I got used to it pretty quick. It honestly felt like their structure was encouraging me to maintain proper form while walking and running. Steps feel very fluid, natural, and well-supported. I will say that the tread on these shoes is rather noisy. I noticed I was making some rather annoying sounds on the treadmill at the gym. But most people listen to music and stuff anyway, so hopefully it’s not too much of a bother. Personally I think it’s a microscopic trade-off for the amount of relief I experience from these!

Ghost Max 2

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Ghost Max 2 looks good. However, after standing with my neighbor talking, my feet were hurting so bad within one hour. I was nearly in a rush and relieved to take them off when I got back home. I am trying to find the right, comfortable shoes so I can start back walking after going to re/hab.

Soft And Comfortable All Day Wear

like the extra padding and comfort - feels ver comfortable in the toe

Ghost Max 2 Perfect

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been wearing Ghost for years on running side. I now walk and am very happy I tried the Ghost Max for walking. Great support and very comfortable. Definitely soft and supportive. I will purchase again

Going Back To Glycerin

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use these for work. Not my so comfortable. I will go back to the glycerin's. Feet hurt at the end of the day.

Title Is Fine

Love them but the 10 wide is larger than the last ghost I purchased. I think 9.5 w would be a better fit

Say Yes To These Ghosts!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I do not usually buy extra cushion running shoes but these Ghost Max 2 have the cushion without looking “gigantic” on the feet of a smaller framed woman. They are light, true to size, and needed little break in. (I will be keeping them.)

The Best By A Landslide

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Literally the best show I’ve ever worn. They dont compete with Hoka like genuinely obsessed with this shoe.

Excellent Comfort

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very light weight. The extra thickness felt like running on a cushion. Definitely my first choice in a running shoe.

Sizing Inconsistent

Although I ordered my usual size, this sneaker is not comfortable. It pinches my feet on top side of foot.

Ghost Max 2 Best!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love Ghost Max 2! They give me a lot of support and cushion. I walk 4-5 miles a day. Have three pairs- one for walking, one for work ( RN who does 12 hr shifts) and a pair for everyday use. Hope they don’t change models to drastically. I wore the ghost 10- 15 and then 16 wasn’t comfortable so tried Max .
