Ghost Max 2 Wide Running Shoe - Women's

Too narrow

I have wider feet and a bunion on my left foot that is typically not painful unless I do Lu fed or wear very ill-fitting shoes. I typically wear ghosts in wide, but have worn them in the standard medium width, as well as the revel in medium width with no issue. I ordered these in a medium width because the colors available for the wide are very blah (as is usually the case which is a big pet peeve of mine, as well). I wore these for ONE day and my bunion started hurting so badly I could hardly walk for about a week, 2 weeks later and it is still very painful. I returned them today.

Wanted to love them; just not quite the right fit.

Wanted to love them; they were not for me. I am a long-time Dyad wearer with wide feet and customs orthotics. I loved the cushioning but the toe box was just not quite wide enough for me feet and rubbed my toes. I loved the look and the cushioning was great . . . Just not quite right, and I did return them.

Berry narrow and painful

There were no wide fit options - wide is supposedly available but only in three colours and there is of course non ever in stock. Tried sizing up with a normal fit and was very painful and uncomfortable. I returned the shoes after wearing for two hours.

Lots of cushion! I liked the support it gave my feet. My legs feel much better with these shoes!

Too much cushion

I love the color of the sneaker but color is not the most important feature of the sneaker. I loved the ghost max. I walk 4-7 miles per day on pavement and the ghost max was very comfortable sneaker. The Ghost max 2 provides to much cushion and hurts my knees and calf. I wish the company would bring back the ghost max I say if its' not broken don't fix it. Oh well

I find the toe box to snug. I've been wearing the Ghost forever, these are a little to snug.

Excellent for walking

My old walking shoes had gotten flattened down and I was having problems with plantar fasciitis. My new Ghost Max 2’s are providing the cushion and support I need to continue my daily walks as I recover from the fasciitis.

Comfortable but a little firmer than I was expecting, I prefer the glycerin for cushion. These offer great supports to work in all day and my feet do not fatigue. I wish they didn’t look as bulky as they do and there were some more color options. I will keep these, but go back to the glycerin for my next pair.

Not for me. At all.

I bought these for a walking shoe with more support. I used to wear Ghost 15 when I started running, then Launch 10 and 9, now Hyperion 2 - just for reference. These are my first exclusively for walking shoes from Brooks. I don't like them. My feet are constantly losing feeling and the toe box is too tight and cramped even half a size up (like I do with all my Brooks). While walking, dirt somehow kicks up and gets on your ankles unlike any other shoe I've worn. Additionally, I have pretty big feet and these just make them look enormous. I just really do not find these comfortable and would not recommend them. I would purchase a Ghost 16 for a walking shoe in the future.

Best Brooks Yet

Best pair of Brooks yet? Have worn brooks exclusively as my everyday non dress shoe for the past 8 or 9 years. The ghost max has been my favorite so far. Combines the support of other models I have liked and the cushion of others for the perfect combo!
