BrooksWomen's Ghost Max Sneaker

Really like brooks. Very pleased with the ghost max

Ok ladies, here is an honest review of the Brooks Ghost Max Running & Walking Shoe. First let me give you some insight into me so you get a full picture of why I LOVE LOVE LOVE THESE SHOES.I have Plantar Fasciitis in both heels, bad knees, and a bad back from my time in the Air Force. I have normal feet with normal arches, I have a full time,and a part job. My full time job is a desk job, I am a “chair princess” lol, I sit all day except when I CHOOSE to stand at my computer. :-) My part time job is at Food Lion a grocery store as a front end cashier lead and I stand for 7 to 8 hours without sitting down except for my lunch break Friday thru Sunday. I do an abundance of walking and standing during these three days I also do a lot of pushing and pulling to bring shopping carts inside.Until this weekend I have been wearing a pair of Skechers for the last year at the store and my feet have been hurting soooooo bad. So bad in fact that there have been nights that I have literally shuffled, hobbled really, into the house barely able to move because I was in so much pain. Desperate one day I asked my manager if her feet hurt at the end of the day and she looked at me and said “No”. So I asked her what shoes she was wearing and she said “These are Brooks”. I said Ok I will have to try them!Tonight was the end of the first weekend wearing my new Brooks Ghost Max Running & Walking Shoe and this is how I felt at the end of each night:Friday night a 6 hour shift - my heels were a little sore, but not like normal.Saturday night an 8 hour shift - my feet did NOT HURT, this was very unusual.Sunday night an 8 1/2 hour shift - my feet ABSOLUTELY DID NOT HURT, this was definitely UNEXPECTED!!!I wear a size 8 in all closed toe shoes and these are true to size.I will be honest I was skeptical when my manager told me that her feet don’t hurt, but I swear I believe her now! These shoes are amazing. The shoes came laced skipping the last eyelet. I wore the shoes laced that way Friday night they were a touch uncomfortable across the throat of the shoe. So when I put them on Saturday morning I left the last two eyelets unlaced and that made them fit perfectly. These shoes are even cute. Normally tennis shoes shoes are boxy and ugly to me…. BUT NOT THESE! Ladies, my feet feel great, my knees and my back do not even hurt. I did not even have to put inserts in these shoes which completely surprised me!Look ladies I normally despise tennis shoes/sneakers… I mean it all tennis shoes/sneakers period because they all always hurt my feet……….. BUT THEN……..I PUT ON MY FIRST PAIR OF BROOKS SHOES………. At $149.00 this is the most that I have ever paid for a pair of shoes but I promise you I do not regret it at all! You may not want to pay that much for a pair of shoes but I swear they are worth it. Have you heard the saying “You get what you pay for”? Pay the money I promise you will not regret it either. For me these shoes paid for themselves on the second night, they are worth every single penny I paid for them. I have already told a coworker about how amazing these shoes are and I will be telling all my coworkers about Brooks Shoes!I will be buying another pair for when I’m not working…. my work shoes are black so I would like another pair that are not black.Brooks I would like them in a pretty pink please! ;-)

The product came clearly used with dirt on the soles and toe box.The inserts of the shoes weren’t even in the shoes.Complete waste of time (waited 2 weeks) and money on these shoes.

The Brooks Ghost Max Running Shoes have made my running journey not only possible but enjoyable. They’ve been the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever owned, turning every run into a delightful experience. Absolutely love these shoes!

I came from wearing GT Glycerins for the last few years, and they are remarkable for their great arch support and cushion. I got caught up in the marketing for the new ghost shoes and their super cushion, so I bought a couple pair for 140 bucks or so. Bad decision. If you have an arch these won't work. They are definitely cushiony so flat-footed people may really like them, but not so much for myself and my daughter. I'm going to try pulling out the insole and replacing them with a real good arch support insert from the store for another 50 bucks and we'll see how that works, but I'm positive that I'll never buy them again and that I should have stuck with the ones that I knew were great. If I were to rate it solely based on my experience, I'd give them 1 star, but since they may be fine for flat fitted people, I'm only taking 1 star off.

I have been buying ghosts since the ghost nine. When i was looking at hokas for the extra cushion and saw ghosts came like that now i jumped on them and am so glad i did. Put them on and headed out the door on a walking fieldtrip and they were amazing. Comfortable, stable , and perfect. Love the color too!!
