Customer Reviews Brooks Glycerin Max

Way to narrow, uncomfortable,disappointed for that price. Will never purchase again

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.

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!

They are comfortable when you first put them on. Something about the shoes plays with the ankle causing some strains. After you have them on for a little bit that gets better. I like the Glycerin 20s better

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!!!

The cushioning is real and amazing, but you're going to have to buy a shoehorn to get these things on. If you even look at the nubbin on the back wrong, it inverts and you will spend 5 whole minutes picking it back out with your fingernails while everyone in the TSA line looks on in annoyance.

Had to return the shoes after a couple of runs. I have trained and ran 2 marathons wearing only On Cloudmonsters but decided to try more of a max cushion trainer for my upcoming marathon so I ordered the Glycerin Max. The shoe itself is nice and lightweight, but did not work for my running style. The shoes felt clunky and like I was stomping. I typically run between an 8:30/mile and 9/mile pace and these shoes made it really hard for me to run that pace. The shoe forces an exaggerated heel to toe motion which does not work for runners like me who prefer to stay further up on their toes. I wore these for a 15 mile run and they not only hurt my feet, but caused pain in my knees, legs, and back. It felt like all of my energy was absorbed into the ground with each step and there was no energy return or spring to my step. Disappointed because I really wanted to like them, but ended up getting another pair of On Cloudmonsters and did a 20 mile run with no pain at all.

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 work in healthcare and bought these for cushion against the hard floors and wanted something with a lower foot drop. Really super comfortable for all day wear. I have several pairs of Brooks shoes,mostly Glycerin models, so this particular pair was worn in a rotation of 3 pairs through the week. Sadly, the tongue of the right shoe has torn off at the seam after less than twenty times wearing them. So disappointing in such an expensive shoe

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!

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.

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!
