About this item

  • THIS MEN’S SHOE IS FOR: Runners and walkers alike who want maximized cushion, and a maximized protective ride with effortless, smooth heel-toe transitions and secure, stable landings. The Ghost Max is a certified PDAC A5500 Diabetic shoe and has been granted the APMA Seal of Acceptance.
  • PROTECTIVE CUSHIONING: A high stack of DNA Loft v2 cushioning specifically in the forefoot, combined with a unique GlideRoll Rocker work together to decrease pressure underfoot for enhanced yet protective comfort from the arch of the foot all the way up to the knee.
  • STABLE RIDE: A broad base offers inherent stability for a secure feel that doesn’t interfere with your stride. Raised sidewalls offer optimal bending stiffness for a comfortably secure fit. Unique linear last construction makes fit inclusive of foot shapes and orthotics.
  • ASSISTED TRANSITIONS: GlideRoll Rocker transition technology actively promotes smooth heel-toe transitions for an effortless feeling as you move that won’t interfere with a neutral stride.
  • VERSATILITY: An ideal choice for runners which aids by keeping people moving in their habitual motion path thereby reducing the odds for running related injuries. Additionally, the Ghost Max is also an ideal choice for walkers as it actively reduces energy absorption in foot soft tissues.

    I bought these for my 75-year old husband and he absolutely loves them. He likes that the toe box is wide so that his toes don't hurt after he goes walking. They provide great support for his feet and legs and they look nice too. When the time comes to replace them, I will be buying these for him again.

    I can’t express how comfortable these shoes are! I recently started walking more to be more active, and after browsing Amazon, these caught my attention. Based on the positive reviews, I decided to give them a try—and I’m so glad I did!

    From the moment I put them on, the comfort was noticeable. The cushioning makes a huge difference compared to my previous shoes, and walking feels much more enjoyable. I’ve only been using them for a week, so time will tell how well they hold up, but if the durability matches the comfort, I’ll be very happy!

    As for sizing, I found them to run true to size. I wear a US 8.5, and they fit perfectly. I did see some mixed reviews about sizing, but I’m glad I went with my usual size.

    Overall, I’ll definitely be putting these shoes to good use, and Brooks will be high on my list for future walking shoe purchases!

    These are some of the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. They are very cushy and have a "rock" to them, but you get used to it very quick and they become quite comfortable. Was able to get them at a good price and they serve me well so far as both daily walkers and running shoes.

    Nice shoe, great cushioning., while not being unstable. They are quite large for me in the toe area.

    Brooks is a great brand and make excellent shoes, but the size from model to model seems to vary. Cushioned shoes seem to run about half a size larger than other styles. I bought some ankle pads for the rear wall of the shoe and wear thicker socks and they fit nicely now. I would give 5 stars if not for the sizing issue.

    Disclaimer...I wear these shoes for walking, not running....
    Lightweight, very comfortable, and the cushioning might be the best of any pair of shoes I've ever owned, and I'm 54 so I've worn a LOT of shoes. I have a normal/neutral arch and I have a normal width foot in the mid and heel, but the ball of my feet is fairly wide. These shoes have a nice wide toe-box without having to order a wide width shoe. Typically wide sized shoes have too much heel slippage for me, but these do not.
    These run true to size compared to other name-brand competitors.

    You could run in these, but I choose them for walking, and they are super comfortable and supportive. I have another pair of Brooks, which are of excellent quality. They look great also, and I will probably end up jogging in this. I am mature, so stability when walking is essential, and these do the job perfectly.
