Ok ladies, here is an honest review of the Brooks Ghost Max Running & Walking Shoe. First let me give you some insight into me so you get a full picture of why I LOVE LOVE LOVE THESE SHOES.
I have Plantar Fasciitis in both heels, bad knees, and a bad back from my time in the Air Force. I have normal feet with normal arches, I have a full time,and a part job. My full time job is a desk job, I am a “chair princess” lol, I sit all day except when I CHOOSE to stand at my computer. 🙂 My part time job is at Food Lion a grocery store as a front end cashier lead and I stand for 7 to 8 hours without sitting down except for my lunch break Friday thru Sunday. I do an abundance of walking and standing during these three days I also do a lot of pushing and pulling to bring shopping carts inside.
Until this weekend I have been wearing a pair of Skechers for the last year at the store and my feet have been hurting soooooo bad. So bad in fact that there have been nights that I have literally shuffled, hobbled really, into the house barely able to move because I was in so much pain. Desperate one day I asked my manager if her feet hurt at the end of the day and she looked at me and said “No”. So I asked her what shoes she was wearing and she said “These are Brooks”. I said Ok I will have to try them!
Tonight was the end of the first weekend wearing my new Brooks Ghost Max Running & Walking Shoe and this is how I felt at the end of each night:
Friday night a 6 hour shift – my heels were a little sore, but not like normal.
Saturday night an 8 hour shift – my feet did NOT HURT, this was very unusual.
Sunday night an 8 1/2 hour shift – my feet ABSOLUTELY DID NOT HURT, this was definitely UNEXPECTED!!!
I wear a size 8 in all closed toe shoes and these are true to size.
I will be honest I was skeptical when my manager told me that her feet don’t hurt, but I swear I believe her now! These shoes are amazing. The shoes came laced skipping the last eyelet. I wore the shoes laced that way Friday night they were a touch uncomfortable across the throat of the shoe. So when I put them on Saturday morning I left the last two eyelets unlaced and that made them fit perfectly. These shoes are even cute. Normally tennis shoes shoes are boxy and ugly to me…. BUT NOT THESE! Ladies, my feet feel great, my knees and my back do not even hurt. I did not even have to put inserts in these shoes which completely surprised me!
Look ladies I normally despise tennis shoes/sneakers… I mean it all tennis shoes/sneakers period because they all always hurt my feet……….. BUT THEN……..I PUT ON MY FIRST PAIR OF BROOKS SHOES………. At $149.00 this is the most that I have ever paid for a pair of shoes but I promise you I do not regret it at all! You may not want to pay that much for a pair of shoes but I swear they are worth it. Have you heard the saying “You get what you pay for”? Pay the money I promise you will not regret it either. For me these shoes paid for themselves on the second night, they are worth every single penny I paid for them. I have already told a coworker about how amazing these shoes are and I will be telling all my coworkers about Brooks Shoes!
I will be buying another pair for when I’m not working…. my work shoes are black so I would like another pair that are not black.
Brooks I would like them in a pretty pink please! 😉

The product came clearly used with dirt on the soles and toe box.
The inserts of the shoes weren’t even in the shoes.
Complete waste of time (waited 2 weeks) and money on these shoes.

I have metatarsal pain and neuropathy. I could not add up how much money I have spent on shoes and insoles that just made more pressure points. 1 sneaker brand was too squishy. Another was not squishy enough. One brand might have been good except my foot is swelling now so I ordered a half size up since the brand has a more pointed toe. They are too long andd I feel as though i will trip. The Brooks Ghost running shoe has been around for years and this is the max cushioned version. It has a slightlly rounded toe and I got a wide size which is a little wide for my heels. However, the no frills lacing system and not fully padded tongue lets me lace it so it does not slip. The front rocker is great for rolling off my forefoot. Although these are maximum cush, they have a little more support than the really soft max cushion shoes and they don’t taper the outersole so it feels very stable under my feet. There is enough room for my orthotics. I hope I have gotten the good points. The really good news is that I have less pain and they actually felt better the last couple days. That never happens to me so that makes them worth every penny and I won’t brag that I got $30 off during the Amazon sale. Cannot think of any cons except that there is no night time strip for cars to see you. I won’t be jogging in the street anyway. Everyone has different feet bu if you are in pain, these are well worth the price, on sale or not.

Very comfortable. When I first wore shoes, it felt like walking on a cloud. I have mobility issues, and these shoe are perfect for my needs. I hope they last a year, very pricy for comfort.

Stratosferica, si cammina per ore senza sentirsi mai stanchi ( almeno, non i piedi!!!) . Per le mie gite su sterrato ho acquistato le “sorelle “: Brooks caldera 6 .

Have another just like them. That’s why I bought them. They are very comfortable and work well. I am on my feet 8-10 hours a day at work. They are great for them. Also love the colors, fit, style, arch support, and how they are durable and withstand all the walking I do at work and support they give me. They are the only ones I wear
