These are awesome so far! I haven't put a ton of miles on them yet but so far I have noticed less joint pain and springy feel. I loved them so much I bought another pair. Hoping they hold up, I'm averaging about 12 miles a week right now.

I bought the all black for work shoes. I work at an amusement park and am on my feet for my entire shift. I am overweight and my feet hurt so much during and after my shifts. These shoes are sooo cushioned, they have made a drastic improvement in my comfort level at work. The fit was standard to my usual shoe size.

I adore these shoes!! For the first time in years I've had no foot pain. After wearing them a week I went to order another pair but the extra wide are sold out at every place I know to look . Please make the cute colorful shoes available in wider sizes. Multiple people ask this of your company. I have read the request over and over on different platforms and now I'm adding my request. We love your shoes! Make the cute ones for our problem feet please! Great shoe!

Comfortable! Helps with foot pain and balance especially when standing. Better than the regular Ghost. I wore the regular Ghost for one day after having tried the Max and my feet started to hurt again. Also, the Ghost Max doesn't hurt the tops of my feet like the regular ghosts did. I also like the room in the toes.

I am standing and/or walking at my job the entire day. These new Ghost Max are amazing with the extra cushioning. My plantar fasciitis has not acted up and I attribute that to the extra cushioning. I always wear 7.5 in Brooks, but these feel a little bigger than normal. They are not so big as to return for smaller size though. When I first wore them, it felt like walking on a bed. These are extremely comfortable and I'll buy them over and over. Love that they come in all black with the black sole as the dirt doesn't show. I wish all Brooks shoes offered black on black.

This is a great shoe but not an alternative to the Ghost 15 they have much less stability than the Ghost 15 and are squishier they also tend to have ankle roll, after wearing them for a day my feet were tired from rolling on the soft heal. If you are a Ghost 15 person now dont think this is an upgrade.

Not a runner at all. I walk over a mile to my office and back daily . I also have diabetes and need the cushion. Which was good , but not much difference from the regular Ghost.

I am still not sure if these shoes are working out for me! I have less problems with my feet but I am feeling my knees a lot more while running in them. They work better than the Adrenaline GTS but not as well as the Glycerin GTS! I wish Brooks will make wider shoes, so people like me will have some options.

I did not like them, I sent them back. To much padding under the arch of the foot, when I stepped forward I felt like I was falling in a hole. I have been using brooks shoes since the ghost 10's came out. This is the first Brooks I really did not like at all .

Normally wear a 10.5, went up to an 11 in these from my Brooks Glycerin, which felt small. have always worn a 10.5 in Hoka. These are the best shoes I have ever worn. this is my second pair of Ghost Max, and I love them.

Great shoe for those needing a large tow box. Very comfortable, nice new styling, and I like the simple tread design on the bottom. Doesn’t pick up a lot of dirt and pebbles like some of the other designs do.

I usually order wides when offered but they were out of stock so went with mediums. Fit is a little snug but still very good in both length & width.
Likes- fit, 6mm drop, plush but stable.
Dislikes- length of laces if you use all eyelets. Upper material not as soft touch as other brands.

Fits fine. Soles seem to wear down quite fast though. It's only been 6 months and I'm already looking to replace.

I'm just ordering a 2nd pair. These shoes are awesome for walking, and LOTS of walking. I have knee and foot issues (plantar fasciitis), and had read about how great these shoes are, especially for foot issues. I can report that it's true. ALL OF IT.
I've just about worn out my first pair, and want a 2nd pair for all of the walking that I'm now doing. They're soft, but not as weird and squishy as some other brands, and the first few times I wore them: yeah, it was a bit weird. But I quickly adjusted to them, and they're my go-to shoes for everything fitness related.

Love this shoe! The cushioning is great and the toe box is just right, not too narrow and not too wide. Already planning on purchasing in other colors!

I have never worn Brooks. I usually rock Hoka Bondi or Gaviotas.
I wanted to try a new Max cushion option. These have the stack, but not the drop, so it is more of a neutral ride.
I don’t run, but walk a lot and stand 8-10 hours a day on concrete for work. Those have been pretty good for that!
They have held up over the past few weeks of regular walking, etc and a long trip in NYC shopping & bopping.
Yup, my new Brooks Ghost Max kicks hung out at the MoMa, of course…just on my feet.
If you like Max cushion shoes, these are a solid choice. More of a firm/cush, which is better than sinking too far into the sole and aching your lower back.
Good work Brooks and thanks Zappos!

Smooth, effortless transitions on a Cloud. Wider in the toe box for superior comfort and fit. Breathes amazingly through thenhot and sticky days in Georgia.
