The Perfectly Balanced Option

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am on my 4th Glycerin Max and 3rd Glycerin Max 2 because it is the perfect balance of cushioning and inherent stability for my body's 4+ decades of mileage. While not a shoe designed for speed, it responds well when the pace increases.

Best running shoes I’ve purchased so far

Originally posted on Home Tester Club

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easily one of the best pairs of running shoes I’ve ever owned. The support lives up to the Max name, reducing impacts in a way that shift focus of running to getting those extra miles in over how sore my feet may feel by the time I’m done. Well worth the cost and the color options already have me looking at possible future purchases.

What about those with wide feet?

Originally posted on Home Tester Club

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wish you all offered a wide size for your shoes. The selections offered are basically neutral color ways (except for the Ghost Max 4). I was recently diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and now I have to where a wider shoe for comfort. I loved the Glycerin Max, I just wish you all offered them in wide.

The best for flat feet!!

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My son absolutely loves his Glycerin Max 2 shoes!! With these shoes, he can now run and not have any issues with knee pain, ankle pain, or feet pain. These shoes help him run without pronation and give his flat feet the extra support that he needs. He will not go back to any other shoes. We highly recommend the Glycerin Max 2.

Too Narrow

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the feel of these shoes for cushion and support, but any time I run more than 4 miles the narrowness is excruciating. I hoped I could break them in over time, but abour 80 miles in and no cigar. Would buy a wide version in a heartbeat.

Great for those long recovery runs

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been running in these exclusively for recovery and zone 2 runs and I have been very pleased with their performance. Even over 7+ mile runs I find I have less shin pain, and generally less overall fatigue since I have switched to these shoes.

The best sneaker ever!

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have tried many a sneaker to correct my plantar fasciitis, I found my cure within the glycerin max 2. I now own four different colors so as not to wear them out. The support, the give with the ground, and the overall build of your product is incredible. Thank you for my relief.

The perfect shoe for comfortable daily runs

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use the Glycerin Max 2 for daily runs and longer distances, and they have been extremely comfortable. The cushioning feels soft and protective without making the shoe unstable, and the ride remains smooth even when my legs are tired. They fit me very well and provide good support on pavement and light gravel. They are slightly heavier than a speed shoe, but for comfort, protection, and recovery runs, they are one of my favorite pairs.

Small step back from the first gen, but still an amazing shoe

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Really good shoe. A bit on the firm side compared to the first generation. Love the new upper though.

If you want a faster recovery!

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was getting ready to leave Brooks when this shoe came out. It has changed things for me so much. Longer runs with faster recovery. My joints/knees feel night & day different. Only thing I ask is Brooks make a wider version like they do for all their shoes.
