[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Lacks airflow but fits well and winter is approaching so I call it a win.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Not nearly as comfortable as I expected. I like that they are not mesh and usable for the job I have but overall a big disappointment
Can’t go back now. I’m a postal worker that walks on average 12-13 miles a day 6 days a week. I need wide shoes and the wide sizes of the ghost max weren’t quite enough. The extra wide of these shoes is amazing! Also, I found that the regular ghost max shoes while slightly softer, needed replaced every two months at least. I haven’t had these long enough to give a real timeframe but I can already tell they aren’t wearing out nearly as fast as the others did.
I have 12 pair of brooks in closet right now,I absolutely love them. But this black slip resistant all leather pair i,the toes feels a little differently designed. I wear a size 10 for every pair I have ever bought. This shoe has to small of are box I guess, mytoes hit the end of the shoe. I have owned probably 50 pair of brooks all have been perfect, except this one.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received these black sneaker/shoes in time for a wedding I was attending. The pain in my right foot is gone! I can function at a higher level now thanks to these Brooks shoes. I no longer procrastinate getting up in the morning because of the fear of initial contact with the floor. I'm starting slow yet more on the go. Thank you Brooks.
Ghost Max 2 has been the perfect every day shoe for running for me. The toe drop of 6mm is perfect for my runs and the cushioning is superb, providing great protection for my knees and ankles. I have three pairs on rotation and couldn’t be happier.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Ghost Max slip resistant shoe was exactly what I was looking for in a work shoe. I spend 8 hours per day on my feet in a laboratory setting on a concrete floor, so need a good combination of safety and comfort. While the shoes seem to be good at slip resistance and durability, they are not very comfortable. After about a two week break-in period, they did seem to feel sufficient in the heel and through the arch, but the toe box felt too narrow and pinched my toes together. My big toes would be sore at the end of the day because they were pushing too much on the side of the shoe. A larger size may have alleviated this, but the shoe did not feel too small anywhere else and the front of my toes were not hitting the front of the shoe. Aside from this one issue, I did like the study foot bed and slip resistant sole. It felt safe and secure on the wet concrete surfaces I work on. I also did not experience any foot fatigue, just the soreness in my toes due to the narrow toe box. Overall would recommend, but be sure to try them on first for a few days at home before wearing them to work.
