This shoes feels like it has a roll bar. As I step I roll from the ball of my foot to my toes. I find this uncomfortable. I loved the last two pairs of Ghost shoes but will not buy this one again.

Runs on the smaller size, not very roomy.
First time that I was not happy with this sneaker. I’ve been buying this particular one for many years. This one ran on the smaller size compared with the 16. Not as comfortable in terms of size and width. Not roomy.

This is my third pair of Max and I had to return them. Brooks tend to run small on me so I have to size up when I order but the max were too big and clunky so I went down half a size. They were not quite long enough but also just generally not as cushiony and comfortable as the first pair I ordered.
