One of my favorites. Nice cushion and feels great on your feet.

Great shoe. Comfortable ride and fit. I'm typically a treadmill or track runner but I took these out for a spin in the pavement and it was great. I do recommend these. My only wishes for future models would be to have an option with GTS for more stability and more color options.

So comfortable!! I typically wear ghost's, but decided to give these a try based on reviews. I wear neutral/ cushion so took the risk. Feels like you're walking on air without too much bulk. It's great to add another running option. I'm glad I took the risk.

I like them, but be careful the first few runs, I wouldn't go more than 2 miles in these for a while. I've got blisters on the bottom inside of my feet. I still can't go more than 4 miles without getting blister but I assume it will improve over time. The shoes are fun, different

Review for Zappos VIP Points(What's this?)
Runs NarrowRuns Wide
Poor SupportGreat Support
I've worn various Brooks Ghost iterations since 2013. The Brooks last fits my feet well, but the Ghost just doesn't have the cushion my 65-year-old feet need. After some research, I decided to try the Glycerin Max. Bottom line: these feel like you're walking in a bounce house. Extremely boingy. My feet feel great, but they take a little getting used to. They also seem to run a bit narrower than the Ghost. (As someone else noted, this may be due to the uppers being stiffer.) On the plus side, I may be able to retire my running socks that have metatarsal cushioning.

They're definitely different than what I'm used to, but very comfortable.

Due to a foot injury I haven't been able to run for months until this shoe! I have run 3 times this week without any foot pain. My only complaint and why I took off a star is because I need it to come in wide. Then I think it might be the perfect shoe for me!

Great support and cushion. Has helped with my knee pain. I find this style to run more narrow than my past Glycerins, especially in the toe area. I have a narrow foot. Wish I had purchased 1/2 size larger.

The perfect standing shoe, the perfect short to medium distance walking shoe. Not the best long distance walking shoe especially in high humidity. They fit perfectly but both sides of my feet got painful blisters and I still have the "scarring" from them after almost two months from my trip to Singapore. The day I started to limp was when we walked Sentosa Island for almost 25k steps. It was max humidity and heat and for the rest of the trip I had to be careful but still managed the 20k+ a day. You can't stop this photographer from sightseeing. I can't imagine what this would be like for runners or long distance walkers. I use these shoes for standing support and getting my daily steps in but I would not trust them again to carry me through another active vacation especially in the heat. I do trust these on ice though! They have great grip at home for an athletic shoe. I'll give em that. And thankful they finally came out in black. I have lower back pain and need to stay active. But standing too long causes really bad pain. Sitting too long also doesand walking too long alsoso I stay active. And I like these shoes for standing mostly.

These are great, but I need something with more support Its a total bummer that these arent available in a GTS version, especially because the Glycerin GTS 22 is so awful this year.

LOOOOOVE these shoes. I typically wear Brooks Ghost 15s for my indoor and tred runs, but wanting to get outside and run to train for a 15k, I didn't have much support for my joints and had so much pain after just a couple miles. I do have a torn ACL and torn meniscus and wear a knee brace so I've been looking for a shoe that will help with absorption while running on pavement and THIS IS IT! Don't let the bulky shoe scare you. It doesn't weigh as heavy as it looks and it feels like you're running on a soft, cushioned matt. The angled toe also helps propel my feet and keeps me running further. Definitely noticed a difference after an outdoor run with little to no pain in my knees. The only negative I have about the shoe is I wish there was a little more ankle and arch support, but that's being extremely critical.

I so wanted to like these!!! When I first put them on, I felt like I was walking on a cloud. But then I wore them to work, where Im on my feet for 12+ hours as a nurse. I felt like I was tripping over my own feet bc of the sole height. And by the 8th hour of my shift, I had the worst heel pain. A few days later even after not wearing them, and Im still sore. Im thinking if I was moving (running) these would be awesome. But standing in an ICU just wasnt it.

I'm new to Brooks shoes. These looked so comfortable I just had to try them. I have feet that hurt all the time. I walk and run a lot (at least try to) These felt great. Very cushy. My toes don't feel squeezed. I love them. I bought the Black ones. I want the while but I'm not crazy about the pink sole. But these are great.

Overall: love these shoes. I'm a nightshift nurse and work 12 hours and I think these are absolutely fantastic. I do feel like as I've worn them in they've gotten a little bigger but it's nothing a thicker pair of socks couldn't fix.

Initially I wanted to take it easy and ran only 10K with the Max. The toe cavity felt roomy on one foot and cramped on my right. So I loosened the right lace a little for my 15.5 miles run the second time. The toe cavity remained tight and the right and the big toe continuously got jammed to the front. I ended up with a red throbbing big toe at the end of the run. It was such a disappointment because I loved my Glycerin GTS 21 for my long distance days and was looking forward to the cushy ride described by the Max. So I just went back to the 21 and ordered 2 pairs instead. For the price of one Max.
