Details & care

Lightweight, versatile and stabilizing for any stride, this everyday running shoe sits on chunky cushioning that promotes smooth heel-to-toe transitions and doubles as a walking sneaker that puts performance comfort under every step.

Perfect for: Everyday runners and walkers looking for full-foot cushioning that promotes smooth heel-to-toe transitions for a comfortable, stable ride.

Upper: Breathable knit moves easily with your foot and provides essential ventilation when your intensity heats up.

Midsole Drop: 6mm. Classified as a mid-drop measurement, it pushes your foot forward to support a more natural mid/forefoot strike.

Ghost 2 vs 3

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just got my 5th pair of these and hands down my favorite shoes. I got the ghost 3 thinking they would be similar or maybe even better but the ghost 3 hurt my ankles and rub weird. I feel like forest gump in the ghost 2 and can walk/run forever.

Not happy with the Ghost Max 2. not as comfortable, not a good fit as the Adrenaline GST or the Glycerin 22 that I have purchased.

Shoes with dirty spot

The product has a dirty spot on it and we told the cashier about it but she said it is sold as is, disappointing but we live far, we really went to purchase the item( not the dirty one) and we did. We just bought a cleaner and cleaned it

Still undecided.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased the Ghost Max 2 to try out since I normally purchase the Ghost series. I tried them for the first time a couple days ago, they seem rather stiff as opposed to the regular Ghost shoes. I purchase the men's version since they seem to fit me better than the women's shoes, and I like the fact I can order a wide width that fits my foot better and seems to be more comfortable when I walk, which is usually about 15 miles/day. I will keep wearing these, maybe they just need to be broken in a little more...time will tell!

All day cushion

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love these shoes as they're my everyday shoe. I run in brooks and see why this would be a good running shoe too.

Super comfortable, my go to

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Super comfortable in every way. Just felt a little restricted on the road, but the comfort trumps the slower feel.

Great color!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I generally wear a 9.5W in women's, but alas, there are often a minimal variety of colors available in Wide, (I would love it if Brooks would allow for special orders because Wide-footed women enjoy funky colors too.). Until that day comes though, I have found a loophole that I thought I'd try when these awesome greens went on sale- men's sizes. To my delight, the 9 medium in men's actually fits me just fine. I doubt they'll be introducing a pretty maroon color in men's anytime soon, but at least it opens up a few more possibilities in the meantime!
