Brooks Men’s Ghost Max 2 Running and Walking Shoes

These are the ones. This is the shoe for me. I tried the newer beast model and, though I liked them, I felt they were best for walking or general exercise stability like lifting. I returned them for ghost max 2 and fell in love instantly.The heel curve for those step transitions doesnt look like much but they make walking with other shoes feel wrong. They provide a ton of bounch in your step as well so walking quickly is a joke. They have a nice wide platform to keep your balance while staying in extremely light. I'm about to run my first mile with these. I'll report back when I'm doneEdit: had to increase my run speed on the treadmill by 0.4 to keep momentum and be more energy efficient. Reduced my mile time by 15 seconds. What an upgrade these are from the ghost 14s I've had for years now

These are the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn! I walk and stand on concrete floors all day at work and I had previously bought a different brand of sneaker that was composite toe because work will reimburse me. However my feet and body were killing me, I thought I was just having to adjust to it but I couldn't stand it anymore. I ordered these even though I knew I wouldn't be reimbursed from work because I wanted to not be in pain all day. I'm so glad I did, they are amazing!

For the past couple years I started walking more during my work week and shortly after that decision, I started getting knee pain. I realized my work boots weren’t for walking so I bought these shoes. First time ever buying these kinds of shoes. The cushioning is amazing and my knee pain didn’t end but it’s much more manageable. I might just be getting old because I’ve never had knee problems or hurt my knees in the past but because of the comfort and cushioning of these shoes, I’ll never get any other kind of shoe.

I have both knees bad, my lower back hurts all the time and my right hip is joining the pain party.I had a roof fall years ago and since then, getting the right shoes is critical.These are the only ones stock shoes (not made by the ortho) that I have found help me avoid pain when walking.Make sure you get the right size. They have regular, wide and extra-wide.BTW, Quality is great. They provide an awesome support.Highly recommended

returned. Not as comfortable as I had hoped. love the color.

Very comfortable and light. I wear them to do my 1-hr walk over a hilly route which was becoming difficult with my older shoes. No more numb soles or tingling over the plantar area, and no more lateral tibial cramps. These shoes took care of that and have turned my walks into enjoyable experiences. They do seem to fit and feel snugly at first but once you get going they loosen up a little bit.

Nicely cushioned shoe more so than the regular ghost - but not overly plush making it more stable. Less than an ounce heavier than the regular Ghost. Feels like you can build up to a nice training pace. Plenty of room in the shoe - true to size.

I needed XX wide. Brooks had these 'Ghost Max.' I'm 225lbs and wear a backpack. They feel weightless when worn and do not squeeze my feet and make long for kicking them off after time wearing. They role me through my steps. They breathe. There's nothing to polish. Brooks offers more size choice than Hoku, at least on this shoe.
