Saved My Feet

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These sneakers saved my feet. Prior to wearing them I was struggling with Plantar Fasciitis and this model has done wonders. They have become the only shoe I want to lut my feet in to. Recommended with out question.

Transformative

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Glycerin max has revitalized my running. I have run since 1978, marathons and a few ultras are beneath my shoes and the muscles/tendons from my quads to my pelvis can complain. Especially when the wind blows cold. These shoes are supportive and cushioned. Plus, the soles do not wear down as quickly as other shoes. I try for eight to ten miles five days a week and these shoes have erased the aches! Well, most of them... (I am a female who runs in men's shoes.)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very comfortable shoe. I have skinny feet and add two inserts to fill the gap along with wearing two pairs of socks. Otherwise, they are great. Zero pain or discomfort in my feet or knees.

Fun and solid performance for easy runs

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Solid cushioning and effective rocker make for an efficient stride and quicker pace with less effort. Most of my runs are ‘easy’ runs at about a 10 minute per mile pace, but these shoes increase my pace to under 9 minutes with no perceived increase in effort. Very stable as well. Happy to have added this shoe to my road rotation. Very comfortable upper. Normally a size 10, but went with a 10.5 for some extra room in the toes. Outsole is durable and would handle light trails as well.

Near Perfection

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Arguably the best running shoes I’ve owned. I ran a marathon in them a few weeks ago, and my feet felt great throughout. The only thing I would like to see in future models is for them to come in wide/extra wide.

Good Shoe

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is exactly the shoe I needed. As a newbie and older (45) runner I needed something comfortable for my runs. After starting with Gel Nimbus 27 I don't feel these are too bulky or too heavy. They are a perfect fit for me.

Excellent shoe

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a new and older (45) runner I absolutely love these. Coming from Asics Gel Nimbus 27 these dont feel too bulky or heavy to me. The cusion and ride are extremely comfortable and exactly what I wanted for the runs I do which are mostly for long runs and not so much speed although I have turned on the turbo on the last miles or my runs usually.

Average

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great cushion. I’m not crazy how the toe “drops off”, almost as if it’s missing.

Perfect daily trainer

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

I’ve put well over 200k on these and they really are the perfect daily trainer. Cushy but still responsive with none of the stability issues you see with other max cushion shoes.

HAPPY FEET WALKING ON CLOUDS

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

I’ve had 4 foot surgeries I’ve spent three months looking for the ultimate shoe that would be comfortable for me Something that I could walk and run in all day I finally found it!!!!!!!! The glycerin max is the ultimate comfortable shoe whether you’re walking or running I’ve never been happier with a shoe Wound up buying 3 pair Some people may think that’s going overboard but when you finally find a shoe that works, buy them while you can because the next generation might not fit the same Happy running

Great!

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

Tried this pair after a few pairs of glycerin gts. The gts were great and I had no complaints but these are even better. The cushioning is fantastic. I will definitely buy another pair.

Really comfortable, 1 minor flaw

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

Great shoe, with great support and cushioning. The only thing that I don't like is the area where you slip your heel into. It bunches up and you have to really work to get it out. This way it won't rub on the achilles skin. I also bought the Glycerin GTS 22 and it has a finger tab. This allows you to hold it while inserting your foot. Other than that, it's a great shoe.

I’m not a runner, but am on my feet for 12 hours a day in my job and was looking for just a bit more cushion that the regular Glycerin shoes. These give the cushion I need and help get me through the days on and off of the job.

Excellent cushioning and energy return but too narrow

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

Excellent cushioning that doesn't reduce the energy return; unlike most ultra-cushioned shoes, it doesn't feel like you're running on sand. Unfortunately, the shoe is very narrow: I have medium-width feet but my toes felt cramped. I tried 1/2 size larger but it was still narrow. I returned both pair.

Just Buy It!

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

An absolutely amazing shoe. One of one. Great for easy runs, super protective on the legs but I also think you can pick up the lace a little more than people give this credit for. I got it for easy runs but it’s turned into my go to daily trainer. The rocker helps you keep a quick cadence. Can’t say enough great things about this shoe.
