Ghost Max 3 Running Trainers

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the shoes. The back hugs my heel so there’s no slippage there and the toe box is generous so my toes are very comfortable. I highly recommend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] No back pain, foot, or knee pain when working long hours at the clinic. A nurses best friend for sure.

Very happy with the shoe. My second pair of this type. Only wish there was more color selection in wide width.

I bought these as a replacement for the regular Ghost which was dramatically changed this year. Unfortunately, I don't find the Ghost Max to be a suitable replacement. The toe box is wider (or feels and looks wider). I have medial heel pain with this shoe on the bottom of my foot that I have not experienced with other shoes, and aside from lots of cushion, I generally find them to be uncomfortable.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I didn’t think anything could top my experience with the Ghost line after running a half marathon in the Brooks Ghost 16… but the Ghost Max 3 completely changed the game for me. From the very first run, I fell in love with the squish. That soft, protective cushioning just eats up impact in a way that makes every step feel effortless. It’s like running on a perfectly balanced cloud—not too mushy, but just enough give to take the stress off your legs. And honestly, my knees have never felt better. The extra cushioning and smooth rocker feel make longer runs noticeably easier on my joints, especially on pavement. What really surprised me is how easy they make running feel. The transitions are so smooth that I almost forget I’m putting in the miles. It’s like the shoe is helping carry me forward, especially on those slower, steady runs where comfort matters most. Compared to the Ghost 16—which I already loved for its reliability and comfort—the Ghost Max 3 feels like a major upgrade. The 16s got me through a half marathon and proved how solid Brooks can be, but the Max 3 takes that comfort and turns it up to another level entirely. More cushion, more protection, and just an overall more forgiving ride. These aren’t built for speed days, but that’s not what I want them for. For daily miles, recovery runs, and just enjoying the run without beating up my body, they’re perfect. If you already love the Ghost line, the Ghost Max 3 isn’t just an update—it’s a whole new level.

The most comfortable shoe I've ever worn. I had lots of feet issues and these shoes make me forget all about those!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I returned these shoes, they were to cushy for me and seemed to irritate my bunion. My bunion is on top & just below my big toe. It is small, I prevented my big toe from going into adduction by doing Pilates with tos separators. I still have normal toe off and my gait is normal. I went to a running store in Tucson and purchased the adrenaline 25 GTS. That was the only shoe they had in a size 5. Fortunately it worked so I ordered a second pair.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Ghost Max 3; I still find them to be the most comfortable but I only like them as comfort shoes, too heavy to run with. Love the style, clean lines, and good support. Easy to clean. 3 pairs and look for a black on black with bubble gum soles.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After a troubling bout of plantar fasciitis and months of rehab, I knew I needed different shoes for walking. After much research and a failed Altra Torin purchase (way too hard of a sole), I tried these. And they are perfect! They fit and felt beautiful from the second I put them on. No rub spots, no heel slip, no break in period, and plenty of room in the toe box. They are like clouds! Because so, they don't have great ground feel, but for me, it doesn't matter. I can walk without pain once again. I plan to order at least one more pair for summer. Thank you Brooks! My first, and not my last, pair of Brooks.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the Ghost Max and have worn it for a long time.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love my new Ghost Max 3 running shoes. I am a car salesman and am on my feet all day. I feel like I'm walking on clouds and love the feel of my feet after 11 hours of work.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Im a nurse who is on her feet for 12 hrs shifts and my legs weren't as fatigued as they normally are. The wide toe bed and cushioned support made "running" around effortless. I did have to get used to the the extra cushioned feeling that seemed to actually propel me as I walked. I'm very satisfied with my purchase.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall these are the best shoes I've had since my Ghost 13's. I don't have foot, leg, hip, or back pain wearing these Brooks Ghost Max 3s. I wish there was a little more sole support. Still, I have worn them a couple weeks now and have only been bothered to get them off at the end of some very long days.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love how cushioned these are. I can run or walk for miles!
