Brooks

Ghost Max 2 Running Shoe - Women's

Berry narrow and painful

There were no wide fit options - wide is supposedly available but only in three colours and there is of course non ever in stock. Tried sizing up with a normal fit and was very painful and uncomfortable. I returned the shoes after wearing for two hours.

I find the toe box to snug. I've been wearing the Ghost forever, these are a little to snug.

Excellent for walking

My old walking shoes had gotten flattened down and I was having problems with plantar fasciitis. My new Ghost Max 2’s are providing the cushion and support I need to continue my daily walks as I recover from the fasciitis.

Comfortable but a little firmer than I was expecting, I prefer the glycerin for cushion. These offer great supports to work in all day and my feet do not fatigue. I wish they didn’t look as bulky as they do and there were some more color options. I will keep these, but go back to the glycerin for my next pair.

Best Brooks Yet

Best pair of Brooks yet? Have worn brooks exclusively as my everyday non dress shoe for the past 8 or 9 years. The ghost max has been my favorite so far. Combines the support of other models I have liked and the cushion of others for the perfect combo!

My favorite shoes!

Very comfortable and supportive shoe, absorbs shock very well. Super cute too!

I love the color Ebony sweet lavender alloy. I bought a pair that fits great if I'm not walking in them. At the same time I bought the same size in Coconut milk grey zephyr. The fit is entirely different! The Ebony sweet lavender alloy is shorter and narrower and hurts when I walk in them. The Coconut Milk Grey Zephyr fits perfectly and is a great walking shoe. It doesn't make sense that the same sho, in the same style, in the same size, but a different color would fit so differently.

Poor design and poor fit

I am very disappointed in the Ghost Max 2. I have been purchasing Ghost shoes for over ten years and these are the first pair that I am unhappy with the fit. There is not enough room in the toe box. The tow box is not wide enough and not long enough. Lots support in the heel, which seems to push your foot forward so that the front of the shoe rubs on the toes. I wear the same size in all of my shoes and this recent purchase of the Ghost style are the only ones that do not properly fit.

Love My Ghost Max 2's

These are the lightest and most comfortable running/walking shoes I've ever had!!!!

Sigh...

I loved the GM 1 however the GM 2 is not as comfortable and really hurts my feet while running. The shoe pushes up against the back and side of my heel causing immense heel pain. Also, I have out of nowhere extreme Achilles pain. My OMD who has many runners as patients kept telling me "It's the shoes" when I asked where all this new pain was coming from? I have worn Brooks for about ten years now and for the first time EVER I have had to switch brands to your competitor(begins with H) IMO Brooks, I don't know what's going on within your co. but the best advice I can give is to seriously clean house. It feels like you have people designing running shoes that do not run and have no idea what they are doing. You used to have such a positive reputation in the running community and now all I do is meet people who have dumped your brand out of frustration. Get back to basics of what made Brooks the great brand it WAS, and your loyal customers such as myself will come back.
