I bought these based of recommendations from my local running store( sold out there) and social recommendations. My Mach 6 ’s were worn out and my joints needed some reprieve. These are wonderful. I appreciate the material of the tongue of the shoe greatly. Dicks offers different colors in these than other retailers carry.

I hate buying shoes- I put it off as long as possible. If I had known how happy I would be with the comfort of these I would have done it a lot sooner. Could be the most comfortable shoes I have ever had.

I purchased these a month ago, and I 'm happy I did, as they are exactly what I needed for running and doing errands. I also get a lot of compliments on their appearance.

Bought this shoes for long runs, was not expecting them to be to comfortable but they are my feet feel secure every step I make

5 StarskyHutch
I will start this out by saying I 'm more of a recreational runner and not a race runner but this shoe is much improved over the previous Max 2. While I loved the previous version I always felt it needed a bit more cushion to be considered a `` max '' shoe. This version definitely holds up to the name. Super fast while remaining very bouncy. Loved my first test run right out of the box. I think it will take a little breaking in for anything over 3 miles for me as I do battle with some heel and foot issues but always looking forward to my next run

5 AshPasch
I have had these for a little over a month and they are by far the best running shoes I have ever had!!

Had chronic foot pain with walking in other shoes. Not any more. These shoes are so cushioned that I can do my 16, 000 to 20, 000 steps per day with ease.

5 Coop99
I ’ ve been really impressed with the Brooks Men ’s Glycerin Max 2. From the first wear, they felt incredibly comfortable — like they were made specifically for my feet. The cushioning is soft without feeling mushy, giving a smooth and supportive ride whether I ’ m walking or running.

5 KimmieB
Bought these shoes and have been very happy with them. This is my second pair of Glycerin Max 2's and they are the best. They are stable to walk in and support my large frame.

5 Falcon1
I was looking for some max cushioning shoes for walks and runs that would keep my feet and knees pain free. These have been awesome! They are super comfortable, yet they do n't feel so squishy that you are sinking down into them making it hard to walk or run. They have a lot of cushion, but somehow also have some bounce to propel you forward as you walk. Highly recommended!

5 Paul from Ohio
Love these shoes. I have been wearing Hoka for several years, but wanted something a bit wider.

5 Cairo2
I love this shoe. Very comfortable and everyday shoe.

5 Jonathan875953471
I love this shoe! Definitely a favorite. Surprised me after throwing them on. Quality, as always, NIKE BABY! Can not be any more happy about this shoe. And it arrived the next day. How could i not be happy? Nike has “ out of this world ” service. Extremely happy with my purchase. I chose to answer that the shoe runs small because it was recommended as a note under the size options before purchasing. Normally when that is recommended, it ’s usually spot on. I always take the half size up if Nike recommends it because they run small. For me, normally, if Nike says they run small, that means they most likely fit so tight on me that they ’ re uncomfortable or hurt the forefoot in some way. I ordered a half size up, and they fit PERFECT. I wear a size 8. 5 and ordered the 9. The fits small and order a half size up recommendation is always helpful. Super comfy, super light, super cool. Color is great. Innovation is awesome. What else can I say. I have over 300 pairs of shoes and counting. I have so many types of shoes I buy from Nike. It ’s crazy. Seriously. But, I would really love to do shoe reviews and receive product for reviews. I got great personality and creative innovative skills. Let me know!

While pricey for training shoes, I love the cushioning and how light they are. The toe box gives ample room for those long runs and for me, there is less stress on my knees.

5 Anna363520599
After having constant foot pain, I wanted to invest in a comfortable shoe and am so glad to have found these shoes. I feel like I could walk forever in these and am walking on clouds. The wide option is great if you have wider feet.

5 MonicaB672003789
I really like these shoes!! It took awhile to get a pair in my size but as soon as it was available I purchased them and then they were sold out again. These are so cute, I love the shades of green and the purple and the hint of animal print on the tongue. These Vomero Plus shoes are super comfortable!!! My feet feel like they are floating on clouds. I ’ ve been wearing Vomero ’s for awhile but this is my first pair of the Vomero Plus and I definitely feel the difference. I love being able to tell the story of the shoes anytime someone asks me about them. You go Molly!

5 Aidan654496482
Extra super comfortable, stable and just perfect for long runs. They also cope super well when upping the pace. Best ¥ I ’ ve ever spent on a Max Cushion Shoe. Possibly my new favourite in the non race rotation. PLUSH!

5 DJon7
[ I brought a pair for my wife on Mother's Day. She let me know she was quite pleased. She said the shoes were lightweight and the cushions made her feel like she was floating.
