4th pair Ghost Max

Originally posted on Home Tester Club

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My 4th pair of Ghost Max, first of the 3rd gen. Love these shoes. I’m in my mid 40s and the knees have a lot of miles on them. No issues since I started wearing this model. Can easily go 400 miles.

MAX Cushion

Originally posted on Home Tester Club

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My second pair. The MAX feature, benefits me with more joint saving cushion. Not a magic bullet, but part of my overall body maintenence program; base miles, speedwork, functional strength training, R&R, nutrition and the proper gear.

Great for walking!

Originally posted on Home Tester Club

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm not a runner. I am nearly 73 and was looking for a good walking shoe. My podiatrist recommended several Brooks shoes so I bought a pair of blue Ghost Max 3. I like them so much, I bought this pair of the exact same shoe in gray/black. The wide toe box and cushioned sole are the best features.

Excellent shoe for morning walks and gym training!

Originally posted on Home Tester Club

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First off, I'm not a runner. I walk every morning 4-5 miles everyday at a very good pace. I've been a Hoka guy for many years and wanted a shoe that was lighter, more stable and still have excellent cushioning. The Ghost Max 3 definitely fit the bill. I have since purchased two pairs so that I can rotate my shoes. Kinda cool, Brooks is my last name too. Highly recommend.

Comfortable, Stable, Wide Toe Box

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

For now, the Ghost Max 3 shoes are ideal for me. The Brooks Shoe Finder agrees. The shoes are comfortable for walking. They have sufficient cushioning but not so much to cause a stability issue. They have a wide toe box which matches my feet well. There was a wide selection of colors which allowed me to choose one of my liking. The heel lock and tongue have made putting them on a little challenging thus far since the shoe does not have a pull-on at the back of the shoe but that issue may disappear after I wear them more.

Poor build quality

Great shoe for my morning 5 mile walks

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I research everything thoroughly before I purchase. I kept seeing very good reviews for this Ghost Max 3 model of Brooks shoes. With the Ghost Max 3 being on sale, that didn't hurt either. I went with the gray color, which I really like. Doesn't show as much dirt over the miles. This shoe is also considerably lighter than my other pair of Hoka Bondi's which was a pleasant surprise. So far after a week of use, very pleased with this shoe. Enough cushion which is important to me and the right amount of stability. Highly recommend this shoe for walking. I'm not a runner so opinions may vary. I look forward to the future trying out the new Ghost Max 4 when I need another pair. It doesn't hurt that my last name is Brooks too- kinda cool.

Overall great comfort and support, feels like your walking in a cloud

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great support and cushioning. I purchased these because I have arthritic joints, 3 knee surgery’s and a hip replacement. They do a great job helping to be active, walking and working out, I do not “run” with them, but I am on my feet for many hours and they help with joint pain. The material is cooling but gets dirty very easy, especially lighter colors like white. The material is hard to clean once dirty, it absorbs stains fairly easy. If I were to buy these again I would most certainly look at a darker color instead. IMO some sort of other material should be used in the front toe area to enable cleanup better. Size was fine for me, They do look a little wider than the average sneaker visually, but again they are comfortable. True to size fit for me.

Good for foot pain. Terrible longevity, didn’t even have them for a month before they blew out.

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

We’re perfect for the first month, then randomly got a tear from me just walking, I work a warehouse job so all flat ground, the shoe then got two other holes over the next month from me just walking, no running
