The Brooks Ghost Max is a brand new daily trainer that is a spinoff of the classic Ghost. Brooks went from a 35/23 mm Ghost 15 to 39/33 mm, which explains why they are adding Max to the name. I have to get it out of the way by saying the Ghost Max is my favorite Brooks wide shoe I have ever run in. It’s a killer shoe and Brooks is onto something with the first version.
I enjoyed the plush mesh upper with a really nice heel collar and padded tongue. It holds my foot in place well and there are no pressure points or heel slip going on. I think the wide fit is pretty nice, as I have room in both the forefoot and midfoot with no uncomfortable pressure. For those who need even more space, I wouldn’t say it’s super wide, but it is comfortable enough for me to put in the miles with no complaints at all. 11 oz for a daily trainer keeps it in the middle of the wide shoe weight class, although it doesn’t feel heavy on foot.

The midsole is a thick slab of DNA Loft v2. While it’s a neutral shoe, I think it’s stable enough for people who have some pronation issues. I have to point out that when I think of a “max” shoe, I’m thinking of a maximum cushion. I find the shoe to feel way less cushioned than some other shoes that fit into the category. It’s more of a max DNA Loft v2, which provides a really easy ride with smooth transitions because of the GlideRoll rocker. The midsole isn’t super bounce nor is it dull. It fits right in the middle and is a pleasant experience.

I’m slightly surprised talking about this with a Brooks shoe, but damnnnnnn. My all white wide pair is gorgeous. I was pretty bummed that I had to test these because I got them really dirty with 50+ miles by the time I wrote this. I thought they looked amazing as casual shoes and were very comfortable to walk around in.
Brooks, ya did well! I’m a huge fan of the Ghost Max. It’s an extremely comfortable daily trainer that is smooth and easy to run in, while also being a great option for those looking for a walking shoe. Even though my brain thinks cushion when seeing “Max,” I have no real complaints. Don’t hesitate to check out the Brooks Ghost Max.
