The Ghost Max 2 is a max cushioned everyday running shoe with a bouncy and protective ride. This version introduces a new foam, which is slightly firmer out of the box than the previous generation—but way bouncier and more fun for running. This is a great choice for bigger runners who find max cushioned shoes from brands like New Balance, Hoka and Asics too soft and mushy. Smaller runners who are lighter on their feet may find this ride too firm, especially at relaxed paces.
