Customer Reviews Brooks Glycerin Max

Not gonna lie these kind of hurt my feet and they are really expensive I'm disappointed! I think maybe I should have sized a half shoe up? Too late to return too

I think the cushion on these are perfect but they definitely run a little small! I'd suggest going a half size up.

I wear size 12 and these were to tight on my feet. So sorry that can't find any bigger size. I end up returning them

I wanted to love these, especially since I wanted a cushioned shoes on my recovery long distance runs. I still go for my Hyperion 2 for most of my run because I feel like they are more responsive it's just they don't have much cushion. I keep rubbing the side of the shoes together when I run and every step they keep squeaking which becomes annoying. They are comfy when standing but other than that I don't go for these much. I'm wondering if I should return or keep testing them out.

I have the Hyperion Max 2 and LOVE them. Looking for something similar in a different color. These weren't them. The Glycerin Max has a little too much bottom to make it look nice. Sadly had to return. Not sure why such a difference as the Hyperion Max 2 has quite the bottom also, just a totally different look and feel.

Disappointed in the coloring. Thought they would have blue due to the picture being blue... but they are completely white. Shoe itself is pretty comfy. Debating returning bc was really looking forward to the color

Very comfortable, but too bulky /clunky for me during my runs.

I loved the shoe except the EXTREMELY TIGHT toe box! I have a narrow foot and couldn't even wear them with thin socks! (Mainly the left shoe, which was odd). Otherwise a very cute and comfy shoe.

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

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.

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

These are great, but I need something with more support It's a total bummer that these aren't available in a GTS version, especially because the Glycerin GTS 22 is so awful this year.

A good shoe. Not a great shoe.

I never thought I'd 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 can't wear them to work which is my reason for buying them. I walk 6 to 8 miles a day at work. I'm on my feet eight hours, Plus, and this is a little too much.

Loved the cushion..hated everything else!! It felt very rocky like the old Hokas and I didn't care for the extra ankle support which was bothersome. I'll stick with the Ghost Max 2

I unfortunately had to return this shoe. The tongue (both sides) rubbed the skin on the front my legs so raw I was starting to bleed during a long run. I had to switch to wearing higher socks - but for the cost of this shoe, I shouldn't have to be limited to what socks I can wear with them. I did like the cushioning and performance of this shoe, but shoes shouldn't hurt.

The cushion on these shoes are amazing. initially I felt like I was walking on clouds and could walk forever with these shoes! However, after wearing them for 2 months consistently, I noticed that the arches of my feet would hurt at the end of the day. Perhaps this is because I have low arches and the heel-toe drop is 6mm. If this shoe had a higher heel-toe drop so as to avoid pain in the arches, this would be my dream shoe. I will be returning these.

When I initially started running in this shoe, it helped rid my plantar fasciitis pain midway through marathon training and I loved them. Fast forward several weeks later and I started to have unilateral tibialis anterior pain which I've never experienced in all my years of running. I also have permanent red marks on the anterior/middle part of my ankle exactly where the inside point/corner of the tongue of the shoe rubs against my ankle tendon which is an unfortunate design and caused some irritation/pain exactly where I was having my anterior tibialis pain (more red/pronounced on the side my tibialis pain was). I wanted to love this shoe so bad for it provides a lot of cushion and has a flexible and bouncy feel, but unfortunately I won't be relying on this shoe for all of my training in the future.

They really spring me forward but I only use these when I'm running. I dont like them for everyday use having a neutral foot. I probably would not buy another pair

Unfortunately was too wide in forefoot for me and with additional height in sole it just wasn't comfortable and started having some issues, Light, highly cushioned shoe, but still like Glycerin 21 more!

Fantastic cushion and very responsive; that's where it ends for me. The downside is this, the heel to toe drop is 6mm. The regular glycerin is a 10mm drop. I had calf issues running in that low of a drop because I am a mid foot to heel striker. Had to send back, buying another regular glycerin.

I have worn Glycerin shoes for years for every day use, nursing and marathon training, and was excited for these. Unfortunately these caused me arch and hip pain as I wore them the first week. I'm so sad to return them but will stick to the original Glycerin.

I was so excited about the new Glycerin Max. I have been wearing Brooks for years. Current rotation includes 2 pairs of Hyperion Max, a pair of Hyperion Elite and Topo Ulterra for trail. The positive for these is that they look great. I wanted to love them and couldn't wait to run in them. I wore them for a total of 12 miles. Two runs, a 4 mile and 8 mile. They didn't feel good almost from the start. I thought maybe I needed to get used to the springiness. I felt like my foot sloshed around. I got blisters at mile 5 on the 8 mile run. I can't wear them for running. I have never done a negative review but wanted to share my experience.

I really don't like them for long runs. They're good until @mile 3, then they just feel heavy. They're supportive of my foot which is good, but they really do just get too heavy which I do not think is a good running shoe. Too much money to not be happy with
