7 miles first time out!

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Have been a Glycerin fan for at least 12 years! Decided to give these a try and love them even more. They passed my test of going my normal distance the first time I put them on with 100% comfort. No need to "break them in"! Nice roomy toe box. Cushioned walk. I only wish you'd add a heel tab for ease of putting them on! I will be keeping a pair of these in my rotation going forward.

Great for hallux limitus or rigidis

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

I wish we had better shoes when I started running way back in 6th grade. I am 64 now, and the lack of choice in footwear led me to developing hallux limitus in both of my great toes. These shoes are a God send for this condition if one has it. I cannot run anymore unfortunately. I wish I could, but I wear these for miles of walking and they save my great toe, have awesome cushion, and are light on the feet. Excellent shoe, a bit pricey, and I will wait for a sale to purchase a second pair. Some Brooks I have to size up by 1/2, and this pair I had to go up.

Super cush

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Super cushy! I am an older runner so I need the extra cushion . I feel these shoes have helped me run way past the expiration date on my knees! Plus, the new color scheme is really cute !

Comfy but poor quality

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

Most comfortable running shoe by far however they have not held up. The rubber just peeled off the bottom. Only had them short time and they are already ruined. All of my other brooks lasted much longer. Disappointed in the quality especially for the price.

Great healthcare shoes

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Super cute and comfy. Adding lots of support. Only con is that it squeaks when you don’t pick your foot up enough.

It’s a good shoe

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Toe box is a bit more narrow than Glycerin Max. GM2 is less “springy” & does not propel me forward as much as GM. The GM2 is a good shoe but I do prefer the GM for its plushness over the GM2. Would love brighter colors/combinations of colors!!

Couldn’t ask for anything better

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve always been a fan of the glycerin max and will never go back. This is something I wear for my 12 hour work shift. I’ve always been a person to wear hokas but since finding the glycerin max, I’ve never been able to try anything else. I have plantar fasciitis and these help with the pain post shift and the morning after! I definitely recommend.

Love!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been running in these for the last several weeks and I really love this shoe. The amount of cushion is perfect and I have had zero issues with my feet. 10/10 recommend, especially if you love the Ghost Max.

still bottom, and limeted toe room

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

even the bottom is thick, but it's stiff. it's not as cushion as the ghost max2. it's pretty shallow on the toe room, don't feel comfortble at all.

THE OG was so much better!

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the OG Glycerine MAX! They provided me so much comfort while recovering from a pelvic ring fracture. This newer version is a disappointment though! Just finished running a marathon two weeks ago, and the vents along the top of the shoe gave me the worst blisters I’ve ever had! They ended up infected, and were so painful! Now I’m afraid to wear them, even for shorter runs.

Road running for WHO??

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Quick notes: - More narrow than previous Glycerins (as someone with metatarsalgia this was disappointing) - Sad that there’s no GT version of the shoe but the cushion makes up for it - Too much cushion if you’re not used to but I found it manageable and my feet were so comfy in these when I took them to all the universal studios parks in Orlando! - Excellent heel lock! Still not a well rounded shoe to take into they gym for strength training but it can be if you ignore the high stack - LOVE the cushioned tongue, I returned the Ghost Max3 for this reason alone! (I hate that they slid inward when putting them on so I returned them) - For me it works out as an everything shoe because of my sensitive metatarsal. I think most would enjoy this more as a walking shoe, bc runs feel a bit off balance due to the stack if you aren’t use to it. Might need some ankle stability for these! Maybe nitpicking… but I am so sick and tired of having to clean these, good lord! These are the shoes after a thorough clean! I hate that they feel permanently stained, I haven’t even worn them on my outdoor runs/walks and they get dirty so fast! PLEASE give us a good solid black shoe! If anything, some more solid colors! It’s like designers don’t take into account that they are running shoes, KNIT shoes to top it off. Come on, a nice black shoe wouldn’t hurt to add!

Weak link = OUTSOLE

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

These get a 5 for comfort and functionality, but a 1-2 for durability. 110lb woman, size 6 shoe, efficient form, 125 miles on the shoe and some of the outsole has worn through to the midsole foam.
