My new favourite shoes

These are my new favourite shoes. Have gone from a few generations of ghost maxes and these are fantastic to run in. Nice rocker form and responsive.

Caught feelings for my runners….

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!

Glycerin Flex 2

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I shopped many styles of Brooks before deciding on the Glycerin Flex 2’s. One thing for certain was the brand, after my husband’s experience with his GTS’s, and my podiatrist’s recommendation for Brooks, it was just a matter of trying them on. The Glycerin Flex 2’s give me all the support I need for my mid and arch without igniting my plantar fasciitis, and the heel cushion is also a perfect match for the natural outer wear I put on all my shoes. I didn’t go wide width and I did half size up as my feet changed after childbirth. Thanks for joining me on life’s adventures for the next several months! And cheers to my next pair in advance!

Best Running Shoe Ever!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Absolute favorite running shoe! I have some back problems, and the cushioning these shoes provide make it possible for me to continue my marathon training. Once I retire a pair from running, I love wearing them as an everyday shoe because the cushion is still helpful for days when I’m on my feet a lot. The toe box has ample room and the heel doesn’t slip which is a problem I have with other brands If you haven’t tried these you’re missing out!

Buy them!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my second pair of the Glycerin Max. Great neutral shoes, comfy for walking and running, and the extra cushion feels so great for those long runs! These fit TTS to SLIGHTLY small, but I size up .5-1 size for running. If in between, go up! I had mg feet sized and could comfortably wear a size 7. First pair I ordered 7.5, while they fit perfect, when on longer runs & training for races, my toes hit the end. Ended up ordering an 8 this time. They are slightly big (not too big) and they’re perfect for all my runs. So if you’re walking or everyday wear, normal size to .5 size bigger. If running, possibly consider .5-1 size bigger. I truly enjoy these shoes!!

Downgrade from the glycerin max 1

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.

Blisters—too hard

[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.

New Fav Shoes

I got the limited edition shoes and absolutely adore the colour and the way it changes in the light. I've found the front rocker helps my running way more than my 22s, and it is much more cushioned. However I still feel so stable and supported in them, havent felt close to rolling ankles even on rough terrain! My only concern is the high arch support which has cause some blistering.

Nice shoes

[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!
