Best Brooks Shoe to Date
Originally posted on brooksrunning.com
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Been a loyal Brooks wearer for years and this is the best shoe to date. It’s like they married the best part of the stability from Brooks and the softness from Hoka. 5 stars all around. Will continue to buy!

Amazing for walkers!
Originally posted on brooksrunning.com
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Full disclosure - I am not a runner - but I am an avid walker with very cranky feet. I've always been a huge fan of the standard Brooks Ghost (15, 16, 17, etc.), but from the moment I put on my first pair of Ghost Max 3 (about a year ago) it's clear I will only be purchasing the Max from now on. Just ordered my third pair! They are incredibly comfortable and supportive for walking (pavement mostly) on flat or hilly surfaces. I usually size up .5 from my normal shoe and they fit perfectly. Roomy in the toe-box, but supportive and snug for across the arch and around the ankle so my foot doesn't slid around going down hill. My feet are on the narrow side and very slim (kinda flat), but I find that the medium width fits me well (I have to sinch them up pretty tightly with the laces). I have one pair I use for daily walks, and another pair (in the super cute yellow!) that are great for errands. It's a little chunky looking, but I only care about comfort in a shoe like this. I've recommended this shoe to all my walking friends and made a couple of converts. Again, I'm not a runner so my review is only from a walker perspective, but I LOVE the Ghost Max 3!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m so sad about these new Ghost Maxs. I had the Ghost max 2 then I swore by for my 12 hr shifts as a nurse but unfortunately these ones have been causing pain and discomfort specifically on the balls of my feet. I’m not sure what changed but I wish it didn’t. Not sure if I got a faulty pair. Aesthetically cute, functionally disappointing. Was going to buy new glycerins too but now I’m not so sure.

Like walking on clouds
Originally posted on brooksrunning.com
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These sneakers are so comfortable and squishy, with still having good arch support for my flat feet. I got the extra wide in 11.5 and they are a bit bigger than other models of the same size, so I may just go with the regular wide. I have an almost flat arch and high instep. I’d definitely recommend these for anyone with aching feet, plantar fasciitis, or weak ankles, like mine.

For years- Color choices so limited for wide feet.
Originally posted on brooksrunning.com
Poor color choices in the wides. Medium does not work for me. I tried a M for more color choices, but it doesn’t fit my foot. What a shame. So tied of black, white and navy as my only choices. Do better Brooks!

Comfortable

Terrible
Originally posted on brooksrunning.com
I almost never write reviews, but felt compelled to do so due to how much I dislike this shoe. I’ve worn ghosts for the past 10 years and this is by far the worst. It is nothing like the previous. For one thing they are way too high. I feel like I’m almost rolling my ankle just walking around in them. Another thing is you absolutely cannot slip them on due to the material and how the tongue lays which as my daily shoe I like to be able to slip my foot into without untying. The light color is getting dirty really quickly and I don’t even wear them outdoors mostly. They just don’t feel like the old ghosts and are not comfortable.

Toe area needs to be a tad longer for those bunions
Originally posted on brooksrunning.com
Overall I love this shoes comfort but I have a bunion on my left foot and it pushes my toes to the right so when I order an 81/2 in wide its almost perfect but when I walk my toes hit the front ,I ordered xtra wide and they were to wide and felt like I was swimming in them ...L ordered a reg size 9 and way to long, So if these were just a tad longer in the toe area they would be great,Unfortunately I had to keep sending them back with no purchase ...

EDS & Lymphedema Patient review
Originally posted on brooksrunning.com
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As someone with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome and Lymphedema, finding adequate shoes that have the necessary supports as well as can fit my foot is HUGE! I’ve been raving about the Ghost Max 3’s to all who will listen. I’ve spoken to my physical therapist as well who usually helps me “test” my shoes and this passed the test! I’m so excited to find a shoe brand I can constantly rely on and that provides the necessary support even without my braces. The only reason I’m not giving my full five stars is due to the lack of colorways. I would love to see more colors. Sometimes the color choices are a bit too vibrant for everyday wear versus gym attire. But otherwise I love this Brooks these are my third pair, and it’s safe to say I’m a brooks fan for life!
