Customer Reviews Brooks Glycerin Max

I just got these shoes and they're amazing. I have wide feet and they fit perfectly. Can't say enough good things about them.

Love the extra cushioning . I'm not a runner but wear them every day to walk and do everyday chores . Great shoe and a big move up to one of the most comfortable shoe out there.

What an amazing shoe. Since wearing them I have improved my pace by about 45 seconds without any leg fatigue. Not only is it comfortable but with it's new technology it provides a rocker motion like no other. Highly recommend this show for those looking for something to help them train and improve their stride and pace. Or just an all around great running sneaker.

Is this the best running shoe of 2024? It's up there, you want to run a bunch of miles and be comfy the entire time? This is it! It's not super fast but the sole/cushion is some of the best of 2024. Well worth the price tag, I find myself pulling this shoe for most runs now. Grade A for everyday running.

Best shoes I've ever ran in. Exactly as advertised, cushion and support!

WOW!!!! I had my knee replaced last year and I am just starting back up the mountain. I have been a loyal Hoka walker due to the cushioning. However, when I started running, I needed a bit more shock absorption in the toe box. I tried the Max and it's EXACTLY what the doctor ordered!!!! The rocker design also helps to get your foot in the correct position to make a smooth stride.

The Glycerin Max is a wonderful creation of a running shoe that absorbs impact easily and seamlessly. It's extremely comfortable and looks great on foot. I would definitely recommend The Brooks Glycerin Max to my friends & family!

Very impressed with this shoe. Great cushioning yet not mushy. Have quite a good toe off from the dual foam in front. And pretty stable ride for such a high stack height. The upper is nice and roomy too, with just enough give. I hope they aren't too hot in warmer weather; I ran in the 50s and they felt a little on the warm side but not ridiculous. Expensive and maybe would be better priced closer to $170. But still pretty happy with what you've done here.

I've patiently waited for a max-cushioned shoe to add to my running rotation. I needed something for longer runs and easy days, and these shoes looked like what I wanted. I went for my first run last night, and I was in heaven! I felt like I was running in clouds . This is my second pair of Brooks, and both shoes have exceeded my expectations. The toe box feels generous, and the rocker feels familiar to my Hyperion Max 2's, making easy transitions and a very responsive shoe. I can't wait to get some more miles on these. Props to the shoe scientists at Brooks!

The fit and feel of the shoes is fantastic, they are true to size and have a comfortable cushion support in the sole. For walking, they feel balanced and do not tilt in or out. The cushion is very thick compared to other shoes, which may take some getting used to, but does not leave me feeling out of balance while walking or running. The design of the shoes is very appealing, they do not stand out excessively but look sleek and sporty. There is a thick rim around the top of the shoe where your ankle is which feels a bit like a bunching sock at first, but after wearing them a few times it's no longer noticeable. The shoes are also very lightweight as compared to their appearance and that makes them easy to use and easy to take on and off quickly. The fabric is very breathable and mesh, so they don't make your feet excessively sweaty under normal use. After wearing them for hours, my feet are still comfortable and even in Southern California heat the shoe feels fine for outdoor use in the day. The material is not waterproof, so these are definitely only going to be fair weather shoes. Finally, I would pick a darker color if the roads you walk or run are especially dusty, light colored shoes should only be used on paved surfaces to keep them looking fresh. What I like most about them is the thick foam sole, it adds just enough of a bounce and cushion to my step to make me feel a little bit taller and have a strong confident stride during a run while still being nimble and lightweight for regular daily use. The one thing I would change about the shoes is that rim design to make it just slightly more comfortable, but, as mentioned above, it was a minor issue that I was able to get used to very quickly.

This shoe is, without a doubt, the most comfortable I've ever worn. The fit is spot-on, and the cushioning is nothing short of incredibleit genuinely feels like walking on a cloud. I'm not usually one to get excited about shoes, but the comfort level here is mind-blowing. I can't quite fathom the technology that went into making this shoe, but whatever it is, it's pure genius. One unexpected bonus is that these shoes make me feel a bit taller. They have a platform-like quality, and the thick padding gives me confidence that I could step on something sharp without even noticing. The design is not just functional but also stylish. I particularly love the color of the sole and the excellent grip it provides. Whether I'm walking around at work or hitting the gym, the traction is reliable, even on the court. The fabric is incredibly soft and cushioned, adding to the overall comfort. The shoes are white, so they might get dirty easily, but the material seems durable and well-made, suggesting they'll stand the test of time. The only minor drawback is when slipping them onthe heel area feels a bit tricky. It's hard to tell if the material is being pushed inside or if the back is properly in place. Not sure if that makes any sense. Despite this small quirk, these shoes are a game-changer for both everyday wear and athletic activities.

The fit was excellent and provided a snug but comfortable experience. It felt like it was tailored just for me with no areas feeling too tight or too loose. The design is sleek and modern but not exactly what I'm used to. I was a little intimidated by the design at first but it did have a stylish look that makes it versatile for both athletic and casual wear. The fabric is high quality and breathable which is perfect for both intense workouts and casual outings. It feels soft against the skin and is also quite durable. The thing I liked the most is the overall comfort. If I could change one thing it would be to add darker colors. I run in a rural area so my shoes tend to get a little dirtier then most but overall it's a lovely shoe.

Ive been wearing Brooks for a long time now and these Glycerin Max are by far the BEST RUNNING SHOES youve made!!!! I recently preordered the Glycerin Max Two and am looking forward to seeing what you guys have come up with for the next version.

Very light and comfortable.

These sneakers saved my feet. Prior to wearing them I was struggling with Plantar Fasciitis and this model has done wonders. They have become the only shoe I want to lut my feet in to. Recommended with out question.

Thoroughly impressed. I tried the Hoka bondi 9 and the glycerin max.this was the clear winner

Excellent cushioning that doesn't reduce the energy return; unlike most ultra-cushioned shoes, it doesn't feel like you're running on sand. Unfortunately, the shoe is very narrow: I have medium-width feet but my toes felt cramped. I tried 1/2 size larger but it was still narrow. I returned both pair.

Im not a runner, but am on my feet for 12 hours a day in my job and was looking for just a bit more cushion that the regular Glycerin shoes. These give the cushion I need and help get me through the days on and off of the job.

This shoe is comfortable and has some support. The only reason I deducted one star is the tongue. The laces do not go through the tongue high enough which causes losing it when putting on the shoe. I have to loosen the laces and try to get the tongue and then relace. It is not a big problem but it is annoying. I do not have this problem with my other Brooks shoes.

I think the glycerin max is a very well put together shoe. The only problem I have is the cushioned insert s. I had to add a thin cushion which made my shoe much better. I usually walk 6-8 miles every other day but found it difficult in the beginning. My feet were aching terribly until I added an extra thin layer of cushioning. If not for that reason I would have given the shoe a 5star rating. It's light weight and very well put together.

Best pair of Brooks! Definitely worth every penny. These shoes make you want to run.

An absolutely amazing shoe. One of one. Great for easy runs, super protective on the legs but I also think you can pick up the lace a little more than people give this credit for. I got it for easy runs but its turned into my go to daily trainer. The rocker helps you keep a quick cadence. Cant say enough great things about this shoe.

Like the shoe overall but felt rubbing on outside of 1st toe if doing more than 3ish miles.

They feel a bit "too high". I have been trying to "tame" them before going for 5K. I hope they feel more comfortable after adapting to this style.
