Customer Reviews Brooks Glycerin Max

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.

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

Most disappointing shoe everbought them to train in for 5k last weekend. First couple days of wearing them, my legs hurt me so bad. Went ahead and gave them benefit of the doubt and wore them for the 5k on Nov 16 and they are still hurting today, Nov 24 when I was training for the prior 4 weeks in another brand shoe, I didn't have any leg pain. i wanted so bad to love these shoes, but they are not for me. Sending back for refund.

worst shoe ever. I have worn Glycerin for years with great success. This shoe affected my stride considerably, and I ended up with many injuries as a result. Went back to my old Glycerins and was fine. This shoe is a Hoka in disguise.

I really wanted to love these, but they gave me the worst arch blisters I've ever had in my life. I couldn't run for over a week after wearing these on an 8-mile jog. They have a bucket-seat like insole that causes a lot of friction on your arch. I wore double layered socks and used foot glide and tried again 2 weeks later. They still caused blisters. Very disappointed, because otherwise, these shoes felt absolutely incredible. They are so squishy, you will not feel a single rock or crack you run over. It absorbs all the unevenness of the ground. I really hope they fix the arch issues for next years models. They are unbelievably soft.

I like the look of these and when you first put them on they're comfortable, but after one run in these shoes I had plantar fasciitis in my foot. Not supportive enough.

These are some ugly shoesthe footbed is nast looking with nothing but plasticthe old ghost pair are
