[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used the women’s Glycerin Max in a size 8.5 for summer marathon training, and they saved my feet and helped me recover from shin splints. I decided to get a men’s 7 for the Glycerin Max 2 because the color ways are just way better and the men’s 7 is perfect for me in regular Glycerins, so I figured they would work out. Anyway, although I’ve only taken them on a few easy runs so far, they are amazing. They feel snappier than the originals while maintaining the same level of comfort. I’ll amend my review after my first long run in them if need be. However, I have high hopes these will keep my feet happy during winter half marathon training.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Supportive and great shock absorption. As a Physical Therapist and Athletic trainer it has everything I look for in a shoe for many of my patients who have problems due to impact and loading. It has enough room and fit to easily accommodate an off the shelf or custom orthotic for motion control. I personally use it and find that is exceptional for helping me manage metatarsalgia. While I no longer run but it is exceptional for walking/fitness actives and all daily wear activities as I am on my feet all day.
I purchased Glycerin Max 2 because I Loved Original one, I trained and ran NY marathon with it, provided me supports and cushions that I needed for longer distance and i didn’t have an any problems with it! However Max 2 is slight stiffer than original one and also felt less cushions in heel area, but we will see how it goes with walking and standing at work and another fall marathon training with Max 2. I still love this shoes especially compared to other brands so, I gave 5 starts
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] LOVE THESE SHOES! They are great for my wore out knees I have from my days in the army. The cushioning is great and they feel amazing on my feet. I HIGHLY recommend getting a pair of these.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great for stacking miles / training. High quality and more comfortable than the previous iteration. Will plan on purchasing again.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Outstanding shoe! Looks and feels more streamlined than the first GM. Also to have more support than original GM. Orange shows brighter coming out of the box than online. Toe box is improved and material is definitely lighter with better air glow. i love that Brooks has upped their color / fashion game. These are 🔥🔥
