About This Item

    What Our Experts Are Saying:

    "I love running, I just hate the thought of running sometimes. Thinking about the shoes I’m going to wear gets me back out on the road easily, especially the Brooks Glycerin Max 2. The mega stacked DNA Tuned midsole technology is a stellar spec making the heel ultra soft and the forefoot nice and bouncy. Concrete is no longer beating up my body. It honestly feels like I’m cheating running in these shoes effortlessly gliding through each stride. It’s to the point where I have been running longer with them even on my recovery days! My Glycerin Max 2’s are perfect for me and are a permanent shoe in my rotation." - Kojo, Footwear Sales Lead at DICK'S House of Sport Charlottesville, VA

Great So Far

Son picked these up to begin his 5k journey and to prepare for a relay marathon. He definitely likes their support and cushion.

Walking On A Cloud

Foot Dr suggested Beooks Glycerin or Hoka Clifton 10 - I bought both. Hoka Clifton 10 is wide 2E and has less room for the heavily customized (thick) Inserts required for my foot issues. Its a stylish shoe with a stable comfortable ride, but would not call it "plush". Glycerin Max is amazing. Lots of room for the inserts, and the standard width was sufficient for my extra wide feet. The style is ok but the ride... wow the ride... like walking on a cloud!

Super heavy Bottom curve feels like you’re constantly being pushed forward. Not a fan at all.

Doesnt Seem Much Different From The Glycerin Max 1

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Aesthetically, I really like this shoe, but I was not super impressed by the feeling on my first few runs. I got blistered in my arch on the first two runs (and I have nice socks), so I went and added some insoles to make them fit a little better. I also felt like my lateral hip was a little aggravated after wearing. Not sure if that was because I had been running in a less cushioned shoe or what. Was going to run in my next half-marathon in them, but now I am not sure. I have previously been in the Hyperion Max 2 & 3 and absolutely loved them.

Love Them

They are very light and comfortable. I love them and wear them all the time

Walking On Clouds In Japan

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So besides running I was looking for a comfortable pair of shoes for walking and I have found them. These are arguably the best more comfortable walking shoes I have ever had. If you can get past the huge looking sole which is what makes them so comfortable. From the moment I put them on, they felt different. They were light and soft. I have now been wearing them around Japan and my feet don’t get tired. I wish they had some different colors like black on black, not sure why their black shows need or have a white sole.

Glycerin 2 For Hallux Rigid And Metatarsalgia

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great cushion. Works well with metatarsalgia and hallux rigidus. Accommodate off the shelf or custom orthotics well.

Awesome

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the cushion feels good on my 73 year old knees

Rear Tongue Frustrations

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The shoe is comfortable but the heel tongue is the most annoying thing built on a shoe I've owned. If you like to slip on shoes then these shoes aren't for you! You have to meticulously hold that back tongue back otherwise it gets smooshed and you have to spend 2 mins pulling it back out. One of the worst designs on a shoe yet! Brooks is better than this. I don't know how it got out of testing.
