RunRepeat should do more of this. Much better to understand the Pros and Cons on every shoe, so people would get to chose for themselves.

Technical reviews like this are amazing in providing information to buyers in making informed purchase decisions. Keep it up!

How cool that you made/uploaded this video while I am shopping for Brooks Ghost Max 😄😄

My pair is now over 350 miles, still going strong. Only wear I see is on the outsole but it still hasn't fully flattened. It's been a very very impressive shoe for me!

I have been using Ghost shoes for years for their comfort but when I switched to Ghost Max, I instantly enjoyed the extra cushioning. I only wish they would have released this shoe years ago. I will definitely continue to run with Ghost Max from now on.

I just bought a pair of Ghost Max for $99 on my sporting goods store (Philippines) and I've only been running it for about 20km but so far the best daily trainers I have. I'm a beginner runner and the only other shoe I can compare it with is my Vomero 17s. I both love them but the difference is that the Ghost Max is more comfy, less stress on my knees, and better styling. (I have the light cream/gray with black Brooks Logo). These trainers are for heavier runners who are starting their journey and doesn't need a fast/tempo shoes that offers a lot of heel stack and comfort. If you can get them on sale, you will not regret it!

That explains a strange phenomenon I was experiencing. I had been running with the Ghost Max for a while, amongst other shoes ranging between 8 to 10 mm drop. Then I bought a Puma Liberate Nitro 2 with 5 mm drop. On my first run I got pain in the back of the knee. I thought it was strange since I had been thinking, "5 mm is only 1 mm less than the Ghost Max, why does the back of my knee hurt?" Guess it was the tendons getting stretched if the Ghost Max has 8mm instead of 6.
It also feels very similar to the Brooks Divide 4 which officially has 8mm drop. Apart from the fact that the Ghost Max is more cushioned. But the feeling of running in them is very similar. Still like the Ghost Max though. But it's almost a bit too high. So I bought a Hoka Clifton Edge with 5 mm drop. Way more stable too since it sits lower to the ground and has a wider sole.

This shoe confuses me a bit. I got it to try to help with Bursitis that I have on most the metatarsals on my left foot, but when comparing it as a maximum cushion shoe to the Asics Nimbus 26 that I also recently purchased, they appear nothing alike in cushioning. The Asics has more of a pillow like feel to it, where as these feel good compared to the flat non cushioned feeling I get on my Nike Pegasus 39, but still don't feel maximum cushioned. Hope that made sense.

This has the potential to become the largest running shoe channel on youtube.

Thanks for this. Medium to high drop shoes bother my forefoot and I was ready to buy these on discount given the advertised 6mm drop. Will stick with Hoka and New Balance.
