After resisting the max-stack trend for a couple of years, Brooks has jumped in with both feet. The Brooks Ghost Max hits heights of 39mm at the heel and is the most cushioned shoe in the company’s range.
Though they share a name, the Brooks Ghost Max is quite different to the Brooks Ghost 15, and I found the Max both more comfortable and smoother to run in. It’s one of the best cushioned running shoes available, though it’s still bettered by other maxed-out options I rate as the best running shoes in this category, like the Asics Gel-Nimbus 25 or Saucony Triumph 21.
