I have done 2 runs with these and they are ok but not amazing for the money I paid. Keeping them but they are not my favorite running shoe

I love these. I was concerned that I would roll my ankle since they are so high, but the sole is very wide and stable. I ran my first marathon in them this weekend and had zero foot pain. They are definitely the best running shoe Ive tried so far. I run about 60 miles a week.

My half marathon goal was a 1:50 and I somehow ran a 1:39! I can't guarantee the shoes will do the same for you, but I definitely think they helped! They feel great too!

Love this shoe so much. Ive ran two half marathons in Hoka Cliftons and thought they would be the shoe to get me through my first marathon training as well. Once I ramped up my mileage, I started to get plantar fasciitis which Ive never had issues with in the past. These really helped my plantar fasciitis and give me so much support and cushion. Theyre the brooks shoe Ive always wanted with how flexible, soft, springy, and natural the impact and toe off feels. I also give brooks props for how stylish, simplistic and sleek the design is. Could not recommend this shoe enough for distance runners!

As a BRCo partner, I got to test out the Glycerin Max shoes, and it's safe to say they are my new favorites from Brooks! They are soft, cushioned, responsive, yet also make me feel fast and supported for miles. I wear them for both walks and runs and can't get enough!

Purchased these shoes to replace a pair of glycerin shoes I have had for awhile. I have plantar fasciitis and the arch support helps prevent the ache.

Really liked these but there is a rigid part of the material around the sides and toe that while they reinforce the area, don't flex enough on the sides where bones protrude. For standing it may be fine but for walking three miles caused pressure that led to pain. Sounds similar to some other posts I've seen.

Really wanted to like these. They felt a little heavy and forced for me at sub-9 pace, but otherwise had a nice little pop to them and would have been a good easy/recovery day shoe. Unfortunately, I had some ankle/knee pains (not typical for me) that I thought I might go away as I wore the shoe more, but hung around. Despite the breathable upper, they also felt incredibly hot to me after a few miles - and this is running in winter in lightweight socks. Granted, I do run hot. But wow. Can't imagine lacing them up in the summer. So unfortunately, had to return them, but am super grateful for Brooks' generous return policy so that I could get another pair that work much better for me!

I really, really, really wanted to love these. I thought they were going to make a huge difference, that there would be a clear before and after... but I can't run long distances in them (even though I can with other shoes) because my calves start to feel tired, and my tibialis anterior starts to hurt. If anyone has any suggestions on how to improve my experience, I'd really appreciate it.

Literally the most comfortable shoe I have ever worn. The roll glide technology is incredible and you just feel like you want to keep moving forward when you wear them. I love the look of a high profile shoe, so I find myself wearing them for casual wear in addition to running. Have always been a glycerin fan and these solidify that for me.

I am a marathoner, and truly had the WORST shin splints for over two years. I only had been running in Hokas, and decided to give these a try. I GASPED IN THE STORE - THESE SHOES ARE THE BEST SHOES I HAVE EVER WORN IN MY ENTIRE LIFE. My chronic shin splints DISAPPEARED on my first run wearing them, and I could truly not say better things about this shoe.

Brought these brand new to Disney while 7.5 months pregnant and walked 26 miles in three days without breaking them inamazing! Had no foot or leg pain, would highly recommend! If I could just step into them without tying/untying I would wear them every day.

Stiff and cushy! Love these shoes. Very stiff rocker bottom helps an older runner stroll along. These shoes are highly cushioned and light . So glad to see the new colors offered . The shoe is very stiff which helps propel you forward. I feel it is really helpful for my older , achy joints.

Loved the cushion, but the shoe was narrower than my regular Glycerins, and I could not wear them due to my bunionette on my left foot. I disappointedly had to return them.

I love that it feels like Im walking on Clouds! They are very comfortable. The only major issue I have is I feel top heavy. To explain, for the first few days of wearing them I felt like I could easily roll my ankle because of them coming in Neutral only. Would definitely love it if the Glycerin Max came with GTS! That I feel would help with the stability concern I have. The toe box feels a little more narrow then the other Glycerin, but not too snug.
