Customer Images

Here's what customers have to say

The Brooks Ghost Max 2 provides excellent cushioning and support, with a plush, cloud-like feel that absorbs impact and reduces foot, leg, and back pain. The shoes are described as lightweight and breathable, with a roomy toe box and secure fit. Many reviewers found the shoes to be the most comfortable they've ever worn, significantly improving their walking and running experience. However, some noted the shoes run a bit narrow or small compared to previous models, and a few had issues with the sole wearing down quickly.

More work need in the design.

Lack of color options cause me to return this order. Brooks needs to choose some other color options. Not something tacky like Hoka but something acceptable with jeans and other than black. Pea Jacket was a great color and you changed it , or got rid of it. I like my shoes to be classic and subtle. I do not wear clown shoes.

Walking on clouds

The Ghost Max series have been the most comfortable Brooks I've ever worn. I don't notice a lot of diff between the 1 and 2, but both feel like walking on a cloud. I'd never pay full price though since there's no rush to over pay for hyped up shoes.

The shoe is functional but stains faster than any shoe I've ever bought. If you're wearing these for running and don't care what they look like they're great. If you want something for casual non-athletic use I'd keep looking. I've tried shoe cleaners, liquid soap, and the washing machine. They've looked horrible from my first day wearing them and nothing gets them clean.

Really chonky shoe with good cushion

Pretty chonky shoe. I’m using it primarily as my indoor trainer. However, I did use for a long run and the cushion felt good deep into the run.

Soft ride, Great support

Walk 5 miles 4 times a week. Wore out my other Brooks shoes and gave the Ghost Max 2 a try. NOT DISAPPOINTED! They fit snug but not too snug, the cushion provided makes the road soft yet supported. I enjoy hitting the road with these shoes.

Ghost Max 2 a must buy

Most comfortable shoe I have ever owned. Good support and plenty of cushion. True to size for men with plenty of width.
