Ghost Max Running Shoe (Women)

I am sitting here with a special boot to write this review as these horrid tennis shoes injured my foot. Let me start that when I tried them on at my local Nordstrom they were so comfortable I purchased them right away. At first, they were fine to jog and do errands but after a few weeks, I started walking weirdly with them. After 2 months I had pain in my heel, the back, and sides. I insisted on using them which was a big mistake. The damage to my muscles is substantial so buy these shoes at your own risk and if they bother you stop using them immediately so you aren’t like me unable to put weight on one of my feet!

These are potentially a great shoe, but definitely order straight from the brand's website if you are interested in trying them out. I should have paid better attention to the other reviews...I too received a pair of damaged Ghost Max runners from Nordstrom. The box was absolutely beat to hell (held together with a rubber band) and squeezed inside a plastic mailer. The shoes themselves were untied, and had a glaringly obvious orange/yellow stain on the uppers. Obviously a careless try on and return that was never checked for suitability before being sold as new, then shipped back out with my order. Quality control at Nordstrom with regard to online orders has taken a sharp decline recently.

Absolutely obsessed with the Brooks Ghosts! These shoes are an instant win from the first run- super comfortable, perfectly cushioned, and supportive without feeling heavy. My feet feel like they’re landing on clouds even on long runs. They’ve got that perfect balance of bounce and stability, and they look sleek enough to wear casually too. The fit is snug but not tight, I’d definitely recommend going up a size for that just-right comfort, especially if you’re between sizes. After trying a ton of runners over the years, these are hands down some of the best all-round shoes I’ve worn. Great for running, walking, or just living in.
