Brooks Ghost Max 2 Shoes for Cushioned Running and Walking

Brooks Ghost Max 2 uses a highly cushioned neutral platform for running and walking. DNA LOFT v3 foam gives the shoe a soft feel underfoot, while GlideRoll Rocker geometry helps the foot move smoothly from landing to toe-off.

The Ghost Max 2 range suits people who want more cushioning beneath the foot during road runs or longer walks. Selected leather versions add a durable upper finish for everyday wear, with wide-fit options available through current Smiths Sports Shoes stock.

This model is a comfortable Brooks option for customers who like a broad and steady platform. The smooth rolling transition is also a key part of the Ghost Max feel.

Brooks Ghost Max 2 Fit & Cushioning Advice

Ghost Max 2 is worth trying if standard daily trainers feel a bit too thin underfoot. The extra cushioning is the point, but it still needs to feel steady once you start moving.

For walkers, the rocker shape can make the shoe feel easier through each step. For runners, it may suit easy kilometres, recovery days or road sessions where comfort matters more than pace. The leather version also changes the feel slightly, giving the shoe a more structured everyday upper than the mesh running models.

Here at Smiths, we can check whether the width, heel hold and underfoot shape make sense for you. GAIT analysis may help if you plan to run in Ghost Max 2 regularly, especially if you are choosing between Ghost, Ghost Max and Adrenaline.

Bring in your current shoes if you have them. When you compare the stack height, wear pattern and fit side by side, it is usually much clearer whether Ghost Max 2 is the right direction.
