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

A quote from my Osteo - “You have ridiculously high arches!” I’ve done a lot of running over the years and these are hands-down some of the most comfortable runners I’ve owned. The Brooks Glycerin Max 2 feel incredibly cushioned without being heavy, and they’ve made my runs feel smoother and easier on my legs — especially on longer distances. From the first run, there was basically no break-in period. They feel supportive, responsive and ridiculously comfortable. I’ve noticed less fatigue in my feet and knees post-run, which has honestly helped me get my running mojo back. They’re the kind of shoe that makes you want to keep going “just one more kilometre.” Worth every cent!

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.

The original Glycerin Max were my favorite running shoes I’ve ever had. I had no pain, was able to get back into long distance running. When the Glycerin Max 2 came out, it was perfect timing as my originals were on their last leg - however, this new pair is nothing like the originals. The support and cushion is gone, I’m fighting for miles in them, and the pain is back. I unfortunately had to return and find an old pair of originals on Depep. I would not waste your money on the 2. PLEASE bring back the old design! I would repurchase those for life!

[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.] Slight stiffer than original one, but I really like this shoes. I ran about 22 miles in and there was little crack on lateral outer soles..not sure if i stepped on rocks or the softer material or not, but I will be wearing this shoes for upcoming marathon training for sure! If there wasn’t crack after I ran 22 miles, I will give 5 stars!

I wear these every day and wish that I had found them sooner. I have plantar fasciitis, bunions, tenosynovitis, just a host of foot issues. Can’t walk barefoot so I have to wear shoes indoors. This is the first pair of shoes that allow me to walk around almost as if I’m not in pain. I’m ordering a second pair to use when I leave the house they’re that comfortable. Worth a shot in my opinion if you have foot issues! I do wish they had even more fun colors. There are some colors in the men’s that are also nice. Keep the fun colors coming! Love the simplicity of the pink one they have and would love to see them done in more colors like a green or purple, or with a black background instead as an option.

[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.

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.

[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.
