Bought One Pair… Then Immediately Bought Another
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought the Brooks Ghost Max L in black and loved them so much that I ended up buying a second pair in white so I could wear them with everything. These are easily some of the most comfortable walking shoes I’ve owned. The cushioning is thick without feeling bulky, and the shape gives really good support and stability throughout the day.
I average 15k+ steps a day, and these have held up incredibly well. My feet feel noticeably less tired at the end of the day compared to other shoes I’ve tried. They’re comfortable right out of the box, breathable, and just overall really easy to wear for long periods. If you walk a lot, work on your feet, or just want a solid everyday shoe with great cushioning, I’d absolutely recommend them.

I still love my brooks.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was in a wreck and really messed up my r heel i have a other problem of brooks that really helps my heel support. I was very disappointed in the ghost that I ordered they hurt my foot and don't support or cushion my heel. I would love to send them back and get another pair like i have that cushions my r heel and foot.

Good!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far so good! Been a long time ghost max runner and ordered these for work, I did order up a size assuming the leather top would be a little tighter than I’m used to.

Ghost Max L
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have worn this shoe many times in the last 3 weeks. The arch support is very good and the toe box is perfect for a slightly wide foot. Overall the fit is excellent.

Nice Look/ Uncomfortable fit
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I liked the look/style of this shoe. However it was uncomfortable to wear. The feel was stiff and tight/narrow although it was a regular width. Unfortunately, it provided me no arch support. I am returning them.

Better than HOKA
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought these to replace my HOKAs which started to make the outside of my feet hurt. Love these! It’s a sturdy yet comfortable shoe and has good cushioning for walking. Not narrow but it is a snug fit, which I prefer. This is now my go to shoe!
