My podiatrist recommended these for my extra wide flat feet, as I place a lot of pressure on my forefoot and have bunions (including a tailor’s bunion), so finding the right runners has always been a struggle for me. Before these, I constantly dealt with forefoot pain and went through multiple pairs that just didn’t work for me, including asics gel kayano, brooks adrenaline, Nike etc. These have made my forefoot pain go away. I usually stick to stability shoes because neutral ones often feel too unstable on my flat feet, but these provide enough cushioning and support. I love the black upper with the white sole and rose gold accents—it gives a really nice, feminine touch. Highly recommend if you have similar foot issues like mine! I would love to see wide options in more colours please Brooks!
I tried those in store and decided to look online, lucky me they had cheaper on the website. I tried 5 different shoes and Ghost Max 3 was the best one, not extremely cushiony, nor look silly like other brands. Looks amazing, feels amazing, I bought it for long shifts when I'm on my feet and it has made a big difference in a positive way so far ❤️
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tend to wear shoes past their expiration date. I have a pair of adrenalines that I absolutely LOVE. Then I got these. So refreshing having a new pair where I can compare and make myself realize that my shoes are tired. I just wish they lasted longer.. especially for the price paid… but I love these. Probably going to buy a second pair before my size isn’t available. I have that problem a lot… not a huge variety in my size.. ever. They really need to expand the wide width options.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had a problem with my foot and the podiatrist recommended the Brooks Ghost Max 3. The shoes are so comfortable and hold my foot securely and the pain has dissipated. I love the navy blue color which goes well with my slacks. I'm again able to walk long distances in the part without pain. I bought a larger size as I am using a brace on one ankle.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been wearing solely Ghost style Brookes since 2017, I’m 42 and over the past year have realized my feet just need a little more cushion for comfort. I just ordered my first pair of Ghost Max, they are the MOST COMFORTABLE pair of tennis shoes I’ve ever owned, my feet are thanking me! Only caution: be careful doing lunges or asymmetrical exercises I find it super easy to twist ankle with the extra cushion yet I highly recommend for casual and walking! Love these shoes! I also wish they came in brighter colors and darker soles! I will definitely invest in future shoes of Ghost max!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Of course they are not as comfortable as my well worn pair of Ghost Max 3 but there's a reason I came back for another pair. They are my go to shoe now. Plenty of cushion and bounce. Room for toes without going up a half size. And generous toe room.
I ordered a wide width shoe and this is definitely not a wide width. I am so very disappointed. I have been a loyal customer of Brooks Ghost but thought I’d try the Ghost Max. Never again! It was a waste of my money
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm loving the cushioning on these Ghost Max 3's. My heel spurs don't hurt anymore and I can walk all day on a hard cement floor and they never end up hurting at the end of the day. Love the color too!!!
They’re HUGE. Feels like running in a marshmallow. I don’t understand these “Max” versions because they’re nothing like the original version of the shoe. I got a ripple under the bottom lace because I had to cinch them so tight to make them fit, and I got a crease on the toe of the shoe after ONE MILE. The length of my true size was fine, the sole felt awesome and plush, but the shoe fit horribly on the upper. I’ve never stopped and walked the remainder of my run because my shoes were irritating me so badly, that’s exactly what I did with these. Returned. Don’t reply to me Brooks, get your quality control in line. I should be able to order my size in a shoe and it fits me but everything is all over the place.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] They are very comfortable and have a lot of support. The sizing is right on the spot. I bought seven wide. Very light weight for any activities.
