Customer Reviews Brooks Glycerin Max

These are amazing! Super comfortable for my runs while I train for my marathon. Super cushiony and cute!

Very comfortable fit , walking in this shoe feels like Im walking on air . This shoe looks good also it has a casual look . Highly recommend this shoe it has the comfort and looks.

Love the forefoot design. Helps keep from heel landing too hard.

I'm not a runner, but these are the most comfy shoes I've ever worn! I highly recommend them. I'm on my feet a lot for work, and these shoes really help to keep me comfortable all day. I can't speak highly enough about them! They're incredibly cute, too! 10/10!

I really wanted to like these. I've been running for 24years. In the last few years I started having a lot of pain on the balls of my feet. My feet started hurting around the 2-3rd mile. A few years ago I switched over the Glycerin and finally had relief and was able to start pushing to half marathons without pain, which is wonderful. I keep reading these wonderful reviews on the new Max and was excited to try them out. The toe box was nice, the feel on the bottom was nice, but did feel a little more snug than all my other brooks around my heel. Once I started running they leveled out and felt nice. The first 5K felt great, then the pain started NOT at the bottom of my shoes, the bottom felt great. They did have a nice cushioned sole, but for the first time ever, my feet hurt on the TOP of my foot; mainly my right foot. I never felt anything like that from any shoe in my life. It was as if my foot was pushed up into the top fabric and caused a red rash. I finished a 10K and was relieved to take them off. But afterwords even putting on my regular shoes to walk around my foot was hurting. I see a lot of the reviews were people who just walk in them; like nurses or people who just looking for nice cushioned shoes. I can see walking around in them would be comfy all day since they didn't hurt the first 5K. But how many people are running 10K or more in them; long run, how do they stack up? I am not sure so I give them 3 stars. I thought : maybe I got a defective pair since it was mainly my right foot? Did I get a lemon? But I am scared to re-order to see, if I just got a defective pair :( I returned them after 1 run.

I bought these for work that requires extended periods of standing, they are very comfortable and supportive and prevented my legs from cramping. They aren't as good for walking long distances, way too heavy and bulky.

I absolutely love these running shoes! They have been great for walking, running, and I have been wearing them to work as well. The cushion and support is superior to all of my other running shoes. I would definitely buy again. Run TTS. Thank you Brooks for this amazing shoe!

This shoe is exactly what I was looking for, I run long distances and the cushion sole is extremely comfortable. I have no aches or pains

Love their feedback, cushion, etc.

This is a beautiful shoe. Perfect for long runs and recovery but can also go fast and is more versatile than youd think. The only thing Id skip is probably HIIT runs or hill sprints in this. Finally a plush, running on clouds feeling, much more so than the glycerin. The only area of improvement is in the upper; it is a top notch upper that feels expensive, but it is just a little too thick and bulky for my taste, but very plush like the rest of the shoe. If they paired this with the upper of the Hyperion Max 2, it would be the best shoe ever designed. Im a heel striker and this shoe suits me well. The shoe has a really great foam as well as a nice toe-off and rocker shape. I love it. Personally, I think this is the best Brooks shoe ever made and i own nearly every neutral model in the lineup. Buy!

Second pair of Brooks I own and I absolutely love them. Feels like walking on a cloud.

I never thought Id say this, but there can be too much cushion in this made my ankles have to work really hard. I just had knee replacement surgery and I really cant wear them to work which is my reason for buying them. I walk 6 to 8 miles a day at work. Im on my feet eight hours, Plus, and this is a little too much.

I could see how runners would have a problem but they are great for walking. When I first put them on I didn't see the benefit but after walking a wile my foot molded in and I do like them. I did go up a 1/2 size.

When I took them out of the box, I almost returned them before even trying the shoes because I never tried such a thick sole. It looked like a platform shoe and I was concerned Id roll an ankle on the trail when running with my crazy dog. When I tried them, they were SO stable and comfortable, I forgot I had them on and was about three miles into a trail run with my dog and a friend before I noticed. I was sold. They are the best (for me). No more back pain or knee pain and my stability going down steep inclines is much better than it was. Im a convert.

I have these in two colors. I would have bought the third color, but my size is sold out. They are truly the best shoes I've ever put on my feet.

Ouch! I use these for road running, and at first, they felt fine no issues on my initial walks and runs. But now, my feet and calves ache so bad! I even got a huge blister from the side of the shoe rubbing against my skin, which has never happened to me before. I actually thought I had a rock in my shoe until I took off my sock and saw the blister. That same side of my foot also goes numb and tingly while running, and the pain lasts all day afterward. I really wanted to like these, but they just hurt too much. So disappointing!

Highly recommended. These shoes are well worth every penny. I feel as if I'm walking on a pillow. I want to buy a 2nd pair, so hopefully there will be more color options available in the future.

I really enjoyed these for the first week. They were soooo comfortable so I decided to wear them to work this past week. Im in healthcare so I work 12+ hours and my feet were aching by the end of the day. Im so sad because they truly were comfortable when just walking for a short period.

I wanted a shoe that was super soft when running since I have terrible knees and these were definitely it. Feels like Im walking/running on marshmallows. So far Ive put in 14 miles in them and these will now be my daily trainers. They are a little heavier I felt, than most running shoes. I feel more energized and feel like I can run longer than usual since its so soft to run in and my knees no longer hurt. I did have to go up half a size. Im usually a 9, but when I ran 5 miles in them I started getting blisters on my pinky and on top of my toes, which I never do in my other Brooks. Brooks had excellent customer service. They were easy to exchange and I had no trouble getting a better fitting pair even though I had ran in them already. With the 9.5 there is little teeny tiny heel slippage but doing a runners loop on the laces fixed it. 10/10 would recommend for somebody looking for soft cushioned shoes to walk or run in. For those that like to feel the ground or do fast sprints, I would not recommend. Also, I went with the pink womens shoe even though Im a male cause I liked the pinkish color than the ones they had to offer with males, maybe that had a little bit to do with having to go half a size.

These are perfect for running. They make running with bad knees way easier.

Great feel on run with nice amount of cushion and support. Toe off was smooth. I got womens and fit well. Even if had choice will get same.

So annoying most Brooks don't come in wide size and whatever comes have sad colors. All the nice colors (rose, teal, turquoise, lavender, purple, etc.) never available in wide. No option but to check out other brands.

This shoe truly got me back into running. Each mile is so effortless. Like running on a CLOUD!

These are extremely comfortable and although they are a bit chunky they provide cushion and boost without slowing you down. It's like a sturdy cushion. I have used these to walk and up until 10 mile runs and expeirenced no pain during or after my run. take this with a grain of salt (im 24) but was experiencing discomfort with other shoes. For reference I dislike onclouds, hokas are too mushy for me, and used saucony triumphs RFG edition and these are way better. On the bright side they dont get dirty easily.
