Really Nice Updated Option

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Good Golly Miss Molly! These things are incredible! I have been in the Glycerin family of shoes for a little while now, Max, 23's, etc. These quickly became my favorite. My foot just prefers a little more flex in a shoe. The max, while more cushioned in the forefoot, is a little stiff. I do not find that they sacrifice much, if any, stability. If you're curious, I recommend giving them a try!

Love The Shoe, But A Bit Narrow

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall I give the shoe a 4/5 the only due to the slightly narrow fit on it. The first day I got it I took it out for a half marathon and actually set a PR in them. The shoe feels great for both slower and faster running, corners well, and was overall very comfortable. The flexibilty in the mid/forefoot does give it a more natural feel whole the thicker block of foam in the back makes for an overall smooth ride. The only issue for me is that slightly narrow fit which caused blistering near my big toe joint and arch of the foot right next to it. I removed the insole to free up some space which has helped reduce rubbing in that area but has not eliminated it. I generally go 10.5 for running shoes to allow that extra space, but would like to see a slightly wider version of this shoe. I would highly reccomend this shoe to anyone looking for a good daily trainer assuming you're not someone with wide feet!

Tongue Tied

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the look of this shoe and the niche it is trying fill as a shoe with more ground feel.. The main issue was the tongue… there is a heavy thicker seam around it that can dig into the top of your foot and since it is not gusseted it can move around more than you might like. I like the segmented bottom but I feel like they went a little too wide at points and I could definitely feel the separate segments beneath my feet too much. Unfortunately it was also a little too narrow for me in the toe box. Perhaps having a wide option of this would have alleviated some of my issues.

Great New Shoe

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Smooth ride. Just enough cushion and return bounce felt good under my feet. Liked the feel of the shoe the minimal tongue works great, like the shoe , but a bit over my normal price point .

Next Generation Shoe Worth Every Penny

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great quality with comfortable fit. Adjusts to my foot very well while I’m running, especially when running up hills.
