Best shoes ever!

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

My 2nd time purchasing Ghost Max sneakers and they're my favorite shoes I've ever owned! I walk several miles in them almost every day and I never have hip, knee, or foot pain. Also love the colors they come in. I recommend them to all of my friends!

So comfortable and amazing support!

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I can't believe how comfortable this shoe is! I have had tendonitis in my foot for months. I have always worn Brooks shoes for my Hiit workouts. I have always enjoyed the support I get with Brooks. My last pair was the Adrenaline and I really like it. However, I decided to buy another pair since mine were getting a bit worn. I ended up ordering the Ghost Max 3 and when I put it on, I felt like I was walking on a cloud! I couldn't believe how comfortable it was. I ended up wearing them all day. The next day I wore them for my Hiit workout and it was literally the first time in weeks that my foot didn't hurt during a workout. I am so happy with my new shoes!

Ghost Max is my new go to

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I went and got custom orthotics in May and she recommended the Ghost Max 3. Roadrunner had me in the Gts stability shoes for the last few years but always had some pain. I deal wLiterally saved my life from all the pain I was in. I have worn Brooks for years. I pre-ordered the 4’s and received them. The only reason I am giving the 3’s 4 stars as I love the new ones more. The toe box feels a little more narrower and has a little more structure. My 3’s were stretching out a little after 4 months. I wear an 11 and wanted to get another pair while they still had them in stock plus on sale but also bit the bullet and ordered the Max 4. Kept this pair in the box until the 4’s came. Well I have ordered another pair of the 4’s and returned these. The Ghost max fits my custom orthotics perfectly. I still wear my max 3’s but now have become my garden / mowing shoes.

Customer service was wonderful! Very easy to return shoe. they had suggested the Ghost 18, which I have ordered. The problem with the Ghost 3 it was rubbing my ankle, sitting to high, it also seemed real stiff. My podiatrist had recommended the Ghost or Glycerin due to my Arthritic foot.

I have 2 pairs of Max 3's and will be buying MAX 3's again.

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Brooks MAX 3's are fantastic! They have extremely comfortable cushioning, but the heels are not as high as some brands and I believe provide better support for the back.

My New favorite shoes: MAX 3's. So comfortable!

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have two pairs of Ghost MAX 3's; and they are the most comfortable shoes I've worn. I am a retired nurse and wish I'd had the MAX 3's while working in hospital. I recommend slightly longer shoelaces because a knot is needed or the laces become undone when walking. I have read Brooks history and they know feet!

SQUEAKY SOLES

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

I returned these shoes because the soles squeaked loudly when I walked in them. I liked how they looked so that was very disappointing.

So disappointed that these shoes were too wide in the toe.

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The support was good but the toe width was not I miss the 3 year old Ghosts. The Ghost Max was not a good fit.

Ghost Max 3 does not fit well.

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

Purchased Max 3 on sale & Max 4 at the same time. My custom orthotic is too short & toes hang when orthotics shift, same orthotic fits well in the #4. Also, width is too narrow & experiencing small toe discomfort after wearing a short time. The width is very comfortable in the #4. Because of the obvious size disparity the shoes just looks clunky. Although I have only worn them in the house, I’m guessing there are no refunds on sale shoes. .

Not for supination & high arches

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

I had a pretty poor experience with these shoes. They are not supportive of supination or high arches and caused significant foot pain and numbness over the course of several weeks before I ditched them. Disappointed, because I do like how springy they feel.

Beware Blisters

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These shoes are pretty good in a lot of ways. However, since wearing them on my 3-mile walks in the mornings, my feet have developed pretty ugly, painful blisters on the bottoms of my heels. Now I’ve had to invest in special anti blister socks, anti glide for feet, and blister bandages.

Great shoe but still figuring out if it’s for me

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Still deciding if I like it. I sometimes get some pain on the outside of my foot, near the area underneath my pinky toe. I got medium width and am normally width, so not sure if that’s the issue. Also, it’s a little hard and the arch seems a little too flat - I prefer more of an anatomical arch that gently stretches the bottom of my foot. Overall though, I can tell it’s a great shoe, I’m just having a hard time deciding whether it’s for me.

I can finally run without pain

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Have worn them outside, on paved road and on uneven dirt road, and also on the treadmill. I’ve walked, light-jogged, and sprinted and never felt any pain or discomfort in my toes or the sides of my feet and I usually do after an hour of any continuous activity while wearing other running shoes (Nike, Adidas, On). Very pleased with my Ghost Max 3!
