Brooks  Glycerin Max 2 Road-Running Shoes - Women's

Amazing comfort, soft, great colour choices, Wide foot room. I’m a long distance walker never needed to break in ready to go, will be purchasing more soon

I’ve dealt with loads of shin issues in the past while training as a distance runner, and the glycerin max was like a breath of fresh air and felt amazing to run in. I was excited to try out the glycerin max 2 which originally seemed to work well- but after about a month of use I can say I will never run in them again. The heel is super low leaving instability when taking fast turns and the cushioning in the heel is not flat which has left me with pain in both of my Achilles heel. I really wanted to love these but they are nothing like the original. I can no longer find the original glycerin max in my size and will be transition back into wearing the ghost max.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So sad these didn’t work out for me bc I was so excited about the color. I got the sensation of blisters coming in on the inside of my arch after a 5 mile run and then on my second run the blisters came in and were angry at mile six and had to do the rest of my 18 mile run with blisters. They are much harder too and I was also getting toe pain towards the end of my run. I decided to return them because my regular glycerin did not do this to me at all.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These sneakers are GREAT for people with foot problems, especially arthritis. They have so much cushion that my feet, lower back, and knees don’t hurt like they do with most other sneakers/shoes I’ve worn. I work in a job where I’m on my feet at least 9 hours a day and I don’t feel the need to take these off when my shift is over (so I can put on slippers). The fit is perfect. Not too long and not too short. And the width is perfect too. I’m hoping they make these in an all black or all white version so I can wear them more!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The original v.1 was THE BEST running shoe I’ve ever run in, recommended it to all my friends and family. The new version (#2) is much firmer. I’m not sure why you would create a firmer version of the best plush shoe/: there are already so many firm running shoes on the market, I thought that was the point of the max cushion. If anything I thought v2 might be more plush. The rocker in v2 is completely different as well. So sad. Going to switch to Nike’s Vomero Premium for now until the glycerine max 3 comes out, with the hope it’ll return to something similar to the original v1.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love! I ran in them for 1 week before my first full marathon and I barely had a blister and have no foot pain post marathon! Highly recommend. 10/10. I did upsize from a 10 to a 10.5, the toe box felt a little small in my normal size 10.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Huge fan of the Glycerin line and this one doesn’t disappoint. A little more flow than the original max with the same great cushion. Love it for my recovery and easy runs

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've tested out and wanted to buy the OG, but could not find them in-stock in my size, so I figured these would be similar. However, these are definitely a different shoe. For a max cushion shoe that I wanted to use as a recovery/long run shoe, they felt very stiff and heavy and could not put more than 0.5 miles in it without having major arch-pain. The rocker also felt like it got moved farther forward making it less effective for me. Usually I can relegate a shoe I don't love for easy runs or even just walking, but I think I will have to trash these almost-new shoes.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Feel like walking on a cloud! The best shoe i have ever worn!! Have been walking 16000+ step everyday with these on, loving my pair!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have the original glycerin max and LOVE them (over 500 miles on them and they’re still my favorites to run in) so I was excited to order the 2’s but, unfortunately, they don’t come close to the comfort of the originals. I’m not sure what they changed but the 2’s had to go back because the cushion that glycerin is known for just wasn’t there. These felt more like Ghosts. I did a 5 mile run on the treadmill in these and everything hurt so I returned them. The color was also disappointing as it was more of a pink and gray or really dirty white than pink and white.
