I have several pairs of Brooks. This pair is much smaller and I can't wear because it crushes my big toe. Only wore for 1 hour in my house. I have been trying to find out how to return them

Small sizing
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the Ghost Max line of shoes. This is my third pair. However, be cautious if you order your usual size. It must have something to do with the SE line because they are too small. I wear an 11 in my other Ghost Max with plenty of room and ordered them and they felt like 10 1/2. My toe was at the end. I returned these and ordered an 11 1/2 and it is roomier, of course, but still seems smaller than my Ghost Max at 11.

Ghost Max = Foot Pillows
There are shoes then there is the Ghost Max SE. They are the most comfy shoes I have worn for work hands down.

Awesome shoe - size UP
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Way too small - fits almost a size or two too small. It’s tough finding shoes that fit at my size (15M) so I didn’t want to go through the hassle of a return and I can’t try on shoes in store. Besides sizing being off, it’s an awesome shoe. Very comfortable, well built, awesome style. Just wish they fit like a real 15

Brooks Ghost SE Max
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Plenty of spring and bounce for running on pavement ideally. Love the one tone color. Toes are a little cramped. Recommend wide fit if you have big feet
