Customer Reviews Brooks Glycerin Max

I love the ways the shoes feel on my feet. I just had foot surgery 5 months ago and am still in constant pain. While the shoes do not stop the pain entirely, I am able to walk 3-4 miles. Before the shoes I could not make a half a mile. I can't imagine what they could do if I was back to a normal foot. I must have in my book!

As an older (61 years and counting) walker and runner, I have really come to appreciate a killer recovery and daily use shoe. Glycerin Max is unbeatable in those categories. I go to these shoes on my off days from running/working out, and the cushion and support they provide is best in class. I have worn my Maxes for 17 straight hours and seriously forget I have them on - they are that comfortable. And those days usually include a 2.5 mile round-trip walking work commute, a lot of stairs, bouncing between two buildings for meetings, and 3-4 dog walks. The Max gives me all the cushion I could want, a great feeling of stability, nice return on every step - all while making sure I don't feel any stress in my lower back or hips. This is just an all-around amazing shoe.

These are the best shoes in the entire world. Like running on a cloud. I have narrow feet and high arches and I sized up a half size and used insoles and they are perfect. As a beginner runner I couldn't find shoes that protected by ankles/feet/legs from impact. These are so cushioned and the rocker is super bouncy. I can now run an hour straight in these with no pain at all. I wish Brooks would make a grippy trail version.

These shoes are amazing!! It seriously feels like walking/running on a cloud. As a beginner runner I struggled finding shoes that were cushioned enough to absorb impact on my legs. Now I can run for an hour straight with no foot/leg pain. I went up a half size after trying them on in person. I have high arches and in the beginning these gave me arch cramps while walking 3-4 miles at a time but after I used insoles the pain went away. Still 5 stars. So bouncy and comfy for beginners. I wish they would make a more grippy trail version for trail running.

These are super comfortable! I have hallux rigidus in both big toes and the rocker sole definitely helps.

I had always thought running wasn't for me. Then I wore this and went for 30 minutes continuous run as soon as I got it. Didn't feel any discomfort during the run. Though once I stopped my muscles reminded me I hadn't exercised in a long while. Since then I wrong at least 3 times a week. I know I don't risk getting injured.

I've been using this shoe for all my easy runs, and even after 300 miles, it still feels almost brand new. The cushioning is excellent with a nice rebound, making it perfect for easy to moderate runs. Initially, the shoe felt a bit stiff and caused a blister on the inner side of my right foot. However, after adjusting the laces for a more secure fit, the shoe gradually adapted to the shape of my foot. Overall, it's a great shoe: comfortable, durable, I highly recommend.

These shoes are fire...I've had very flat feet and bad ankles my entire life...I wear custom orthotics and these shoes are a game changer!..i put in 10,000 steps a day and look forward to doing it in comfort...love the glide and rocker bottom...I will wear them for walking and daily activities.

Excellent Shoe! I'm a RN that works 12hr shifts no hurting feet at the end of the day!! Thanks Brooks!!!

My new favorite shoe! I have one questionable ankle and I normally use stability shoes, I won't say the brand but let's say the K 30's. They always felt clunky and heavy but I thought that was the best shoe for me. After seeing a random ad for these I thought why not? I am beyond impressed, they do not feel heavy at all, they have a fantastic roll to them when running, they make me feel like an actual runner. The other shoes I've been using for at least a year buying the same ones over and over and with these I could a faster pace with less effort. I would definitely buy more pairs, I would like some more fun colors like a hot pink or bright orange or yellow. Lots of boring colors at the moment but I'm hoping new ones come. They are 100% true to size, I ordered a 7 and a 7.5 and I am a 7.5 in every other brand and it was the same for brooks. I have extra room side to side for my toes compared to a more tapered shoe I was used to. It made running fun again, seriously I would say these are the best shoes I've purchased for running. Before an 11 minute pace felt difficult and draining, now it's like the shoe is propelling me with every stride. I'm not fast but these make fast possible. I saw someone write they were heavy, if you were using shoes like I was these are definitely not heavy at all.

I purchased these shoes for my first marathon. As soon as I put them on they felt great. While I was running, they provided so much comfort. I did size up as I always do with running shoes. I love the color, but would love more options < 3.

These shoes are THE BEST. They're so comfortable and feel like you're walking on clouds. My feet don't hurt at the end of a 12 hour shift anymore. I wish there were more color options though. The tan color is fine but I wish I could've gotten a cuter color.

My feet are SO happy! This are my current work shoes.

I love them. I'd like them in black with a white sole/base. The black/black is just too much black. They make in men's....why not offer this to women as well?

I was recommended these by my mentor as a daily trainer to prepare me for my half marathon and OMG I absolutely love these. I was previously running in the Ghost but these are next level. It feels like im walking on clouds. They are lightweight, breathable and durable. I tried on over a dozen of shoes looking for something similar to have as an alternate and theres NOTHING like these on the market. I wear these for ALL my runs. I highly recommend. (For context I suffer from low arches w/ overpronation so I wear high arch support orthotics with these since these are a neutral shoe and they are game changer! I sized up a half size and they are perfect)

Really effective for plantar fasciitis

Thumbs up. Very comfortable

These are the absolute best shoes ever. I pretty much wear them everyday. I actually caught a nail in these shoes while I was running and had no idea. The height protected my foot. I was shocked when I pulled it out. If you want the softest shoes ever, get them! I will definitely buy them again!

I have tried several shoes and another major brand for concrete floors and these are my favorite. My feet felt great and even after a month they still didn't hurt.

Love these after working 12 hours as a nurse!!! These are my go to shoes from now on!!

These are the most comfortable shoes!!! I want to wear them every day!! So glad I waited for this color option to come back from being sold out! Love them!!!

These feel like you're running on clouds!! They also seem to help propel you forward. Perfect for my marathon training!

Couldn't be happier with these. I broke my ankle badly last spring and was concerned I would feel too tippy in these but the heal is stable. I also just love the way these shoes look!

I wore my Glycerin Max all day at work. First pair of shoes that my feet didn't hurt. Definitely a 5 star.
