heavy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My husband loves the regular Ghost model and has worn it for a long time. However, he finds the Ghost Max L significantly heavier, and he is unable to walk or run comfortably in this model.

Brooks is an excellent shoe to relieve arthritis pain and pressure.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love my Ghost Max shoes. This is my 2nd pair. I wanted a leather shoe for walking and could wear on trails on rainy days or to the store. In these shoes you do need to go up a 1/2 size. There is so much padding and the comfortable design take up more space inside the shoe. The shoe fits so comfortably and every step feels like I'm walking on clouds and marshmallows. Brooks shoes help me so much with arthritis in my feet and with this brand of super soft comfort, I can continue to walk and stand longer and remain more active. I have 7 pairs of Brooks and have a pair on everyday to keep my feet healthy and lower my pain level. I tell everyone I see shoe shopping or standing in lines just how comfortable my Ghost Max shoes are and how my feet are not hurting while I'm wearing them standing in lines at the airport or grocery lines. I'm thankful my podiatrist recommended my 1st pair.

Comfort
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Returning these because they were to short in interior length. Other than that they were a very comfortable pair of shoes. While I prefer shoes that add additional arch support these did support.
After I returned these I found ones that added more support for plantar fasciitis.

Great shoes
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These fit and feel great, needed a pair of shoes that were a little less casual, these fit the bill. Highly recommended ordered a 1/2 size larger than normal to fit aftermarket orthotics. A little loose but works great
