Resolved: Poor customer service
They agreed to repair it so it needed to be mailed in. A lot of calling around and complaining about the non-existence service.
There isnt any customer service even the Bike store that I dealt with spent two weeks getting the runaround. I got the runaround they dont exist in the USA.
Price/ shipping
My codes wouldn't work, and I was charged shipping. I joined Brooks and was a first-time customer. I was promised free shipping, and I had a code to use that wasn't accepted.
- Great shoes
- Purchase codes and free shipping not accepted
Preferred solution: Price reduction

Verified Reviewer |Poor quality control
- - Ordered Ghost Max Three extra wide shoes from Amazon.
- - Left sole twisted and asymmetrical; I returned them and want a non-defective pair.
Hi, I recently ordered a pair of Ghost Max Three shoes from Amazon. They were the extra wide shoes.
However, the left sole was twisted and asymmetrical and would rock diagonally on a flat surface.
I have sent them back but still would like to have a pair of these shoes that are not defective. I need to inform you of the poor quality control of these shoes I bought through Amazon.
User's recommendation: Beware of poor quality control

Need to talk to a person about their shoes
- - Very wide foot, size 2E.
- - Brooks Max 2 comes in black and cream coconut only.
- - Cream coconut gets dirty quickly; green and blue options would help.
I have very wide foot I take size 2E shoe and the Brooks Max 2 Shoe comes only in two colors black and cream coconut. The cream coconut gets dirty so quick it would be nice if the company made a green and blue color too.
Thank you

Verified ReviewerResolved: Never received refund from a returned item.
- - Refund of $140 to CC not received since 04/08/25; called 04/18 to check.
- - Brooks received the return on 04/09; the rep said it would be sent through.
I received an email today that my refund is otw. It shouldn't have taken this long, or me having to call CS to get my refund process started, but at least it's coming now. I can live with that.
I've been waiting for my refund of $140 to hit my CC since around 04/08/25. I finally decided to call last night, 04/18 to see what the issue was since Brooks received my return on 04/09. The rep looked up my order and said "oh, I'll send it through now." Wait,What?
User's recommendation: Make sure to keep up with your refunds.

Verified ReviewerShoes falling apart
- - Brooks shoes showed early wear as the tread peeled.
- - They were used for a golf course job and were costly.
- - Issue occurred quickly after purchase.
Hi there! A couple months ago I purchased a pair of brooks for my summer job at a golf course.
Very quickly I noticed signs of deterioration such as the tread on the bottoms of the shoes starting to peel off. I thought this was weird since it hadnt been that long since I purchased them and especially weird considering they are an expensive shoe.
- Very comfortable
- Falling apart
Preferred solution: Full refund
