Brooks  Glycerin Max Road-Running Shoes - Women's

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I LOVE these shoes. They are the best ones I’ve tried for running. They don't give me shin splints, are very cushioned, and my feet don't even ache too much after long long runs (13ish miles). They don't feel heavy on my feet, and I like the width better than Hokas or the Hyperions. Super cute color too!! The ones just got very dirty and ended up looking almost gray by the time 500 miles hit 😂 I have so much confidence when I wear these shoes, and don't need to even think about them hurting my feet, which is a blessing :) Remember every foot is different though!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The BEST shoes with a lot of support and comfort!!

I was recommended these by my mentor as a daily trainer to prepare me for my half marathon and OMG I absolutely love these. I was previously running in the Ghost but these… are next level. It feels like im walking on clouds. They are lightweight, breathable and durable. I tried on over a dozen of shoes looking for something similar to have as an alternate and theres NOTHING like these on the market. I wear these for ALL my runs. I highly recommend. (For context I suffer from low arches w/ overpronation so I wear high arch support orthotics with these since these are a neutral shoe and they are game changer! I sized up a half size and they are perfect)

I specifically bought these shoes for my half marathon and was really disappointed with how they performed. I did a few short runs in them beforehand to break them in, and everything seemed fine. But on race day, they just didn’t hold up. The cushioning started to fall apart, and I noticed the material flaking—almost like the paint or coating was chipping off. I only wore them a handful of times before the big day, so I expected much better durability. Unfortunately, they let me down when it mattered most. I should’ve stuck with the regular pair I normally wear. Lesson learned.

Currently working as a podiatrist and I cannot recommend these higher for running. I started running in these and they are instantly cushioned and reduce pain with and after exercise for me personally

I was so excited about the new Glycerin Max. I have been wearing Brooks for years. Current rotation includes 2 pairs of Hyperion Max, a pair of Hyperion Elite and Topo Ulterra for trail. The positive for these is that they look great. I wanted to love them and couldn’t wait to run in them. I wore them for a total of 12 miles. Two runs, a 4 mile and 8 mile. They didn’t feel good almost from the start. I thought maybe I needed to get used to the springiness. I felt like my foot sloshed around. I got blisters at mile 5 on the 8 mile run. I can’t wear them for running. I have never done a negative review but wanted to share my experience.

I really wanted to love these, but they gave me the worst arch blisters I've ever had in my life. I couldn't run for over a week after wearing these on an 8-mile jog. They have a bucket-seat like insole that causes a lot of friction on your arch. I wore double layered socks and used foot glide and tried again 2 weeks later. They still caused blisters. Very disappointed, because otherwise, these shoes felt absolutely incredible. They are so squishy, you will not feel a single rock or crack you run over. It absorbs all the unevenness of the ground. I really hope they fix the arch issues for next years models. They are unbelievably soft.

These shoes are wonderful, strikingly beautiful onfoot, and are like a springboard. My lowere legs do not tire in them at all. My only issue is that they are so incredibly difficult to keep clean. I understand they are white, but the grayish etching is a dirt magnet. I've only had them about a month or two. Secondly, the red tip rubber on the toe box is already peeling back. At this price point that should not be happening so early. I do mostly treadmill walking and lifting....absolutely zero trail running and they are still not wearing well. I love them but thwy arent holding up as well as I expected and not at all as well as my Bondi 9's. Lastly, please offer more colorings for ladies...perhaps deep yellow or red or green.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The fit of these shoes are good. I like wide shoes and these feel kind of wide. There is a lot of cushioning and are very comfortable. The shape of the sole is different than other sneakers. The front of the shoe has a curve to it so it’s kind of like a rocking chair for my feet. The sole is thick and it makes me taller, which I like. The shoe laces are at an angle so it’s unlike traditional shoes. The fabric is breathable. I like how these are not like other sneakers. The only thing I would change is the color, but other than that I like these shoes.

Very Impressed! GO BROOKS!! As a Brooks Glycerin lover for years, I decided to try Glycerin Max for the first time. I Bought Coconut/Alloy/Rose color in 8.5, runs true to size compared to my Glycerin 21's in 8.5. Difference is day and night in cushioning compared to my Glycerin 21's. Price point is a bit higher but worth every penny if your feet hurt or need more support. Glycerin Max is where its at if you are looking for total comfort. I did notice the heal tends to fold down easier as another reviewer has stated but not causing any problems. I'm ordering my second pair of Glycerin Max in a darker color for walking trails! Go For It.. You won't regret it!
