Ghost Max 2

GM3 has a much more forgiving toebox shape and more volume, and a more plush feel. The upper and lining are softer feeling. GM2 are ok for me, but feel firmer, and lower volume. I prefer the 3. I find the GM3 comfortable for all day walking and running. I tried the 2, but found by the end of the day they caused chafing; they're pretty rough feeling.

My wife loves her Brooks Ghost Max 2s. Very comfortable for every day wear and for running. She's particular about colors too and Brooks has some really nice colorways.

I’m yet to find a better running shoe than Pegasus 37. Since then I’ve tried Pegasus 40 & 41. Also brooks ghost max 2 which was really good too. I think the max 2 build feels more similar to pegs 37. The Pegasus models after 37 don’t seem to have enough cushion in the front.

175cm 90kg wide footer here. I don't look for wide shoes specifically, but some of the naturally roomiest shoes I have found are Brooks. I have had the Ghost Max and Ghost Max 2, both of which worked great for me. The Ghost Max took me from running 5k to running a half-marathon. They were comfortable, maybe somewhat no-frills (not flashy-looking and no crazy responsive foam), but they offered good cushioning, good grip and left plenty of room for my feet to sit in there. I didn't need specific wide sizes. The regular width was more than enough for my wide feet.

I'm a similar weight at ~185lbs, I'm 5'9" and a midfoot striker. I find that it's *very* shoe-dependent. I have a pair that feel like they're nearing the end at 400km (Adidas Boston 12). I have a pair I had to retire at 500km (Brooks Ghost Max). I have pairs on 600km and still feel good (Adidas Adios Pro 3). I have a pair that's on 900km and only now feeling a bit flat, I'll retire them at 1000km (Adidas Adizero SL2). All of my pairs have plenty of rubber left on the outsole and look fine. I base their lifespan on how they feel to run in. When the foam starts feeling really flat, or the shoe starts causing me pain, I stop running in them.

I ran into the exact same issue. The Max 2’s were the perfect shoe for me but the 3’s absolutely tore up my heels with blisters. The slippage is awful.
