"If you’re someone who is constantly on your feet, the Glycerin Max 2 is the perfect shoe for you. I’m a retail worker who’s on my feet for 8-hour shifts and a mom, who, after work, takes her son to karate or does grocery shopping and may juggle many errands after work. When I tried on the Glycerin Max 2 it felt so soft and I felt like this shoe was made specifically for me. It’s a super plush shoe. The cushioning comes from nitrogen-infused foam that’s designed with extra softness in the heel and slightly firmer support in the front. The cushioning does a great job of taking pressure off your knees, heels and lower back. The heel-to-toe drop is 6mm which takes pressure off your calves. It feels natural for walking. Overall this is a great shoe to have in your closet. This is a shoe you can easily forget that you’re wearing it because it feels so comfortable." - Narda, Footwear Lead at DICK'S Sporting Goods Collegeville, PA

Still Bottom, And Limeted Toe Room
even the bottom is thick, but it's stiff. it's not as cushion as the ghost max2. it's pretty shallow on the toe room, don't feel comfortble at all.

The Og Was So Much Better!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the OG Glycerine MAX! They provided me so much comfort while recovering from a pelvic ring fracture. This newer version is a disappointment though! Just finished running a marathon two weeks ago, and the vents along the top of the shoe gave me the worst blisters I’ve ever had! They ended up infected, and were so painful! Now I’m afraid to wear them, even for shorter runs.

Road Running For Who??
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Quick notes: - More narrow than previous Glycerins (as someone with metatarsalgia this was disappointing) - Sad that there’s no GT version of the shoe but the cushion makes up for it - Too much cushion if you’re not used to but I found it manageable and my feet were so comfy in these when I took them to all the universal studios parks in Orlando! - Excellent heel lock! Still not a well rounded shoe to take into they gym for strength training but it can be if you ignore the high stack - LOVE the cushioned tongue, I returned the Ghost Max3 for this reason alone! (I hate that they slid inward when putting them on so I returned them) - For me it works out as an everything shoe because of my sensitive metatarsal. I think most would enjoy this more as a walking shoe, bc runs feel a bit off balance due to the stack if you aren’t use to it. Might need some ankle stability for these! Maybe nitpicking… but I am so sick and tired of having to clean these, good lord! These are the shoes after a thorough clean! I hate that they feel permanently stained, I haven’t even worn them on my outdoor runs/walks and they get dirty so fast! PLEASE give us a good solid black shoe! If anything, some more solid colors! It’s like designers don’t take into account that they are running shoes, KNIT shoes to top it off. Come on, a nice black shoe wouldn’t hurt to add!

Weak Link = Outsole
These get a 5 for comfort and functionality, but a 1-2 for durability. 110lb woman, size 6 shoe, efficient form, 125 miles on the shoe and some of the outsole has worn through to the midsole foam.

Pretty But
The shoe is very nice to look at but as a runner who is primarily in Nike it felt stiff to me when I ran. Also as far as the size I could’ve sized down a 1/2. Great shoe for someone else though

Falls Apart After A Month
Bought these alittle over a month ago and only wore to work out a handful of times. The bottom of the shoe on both feet is already falling apart and peeling off. Not worth the price.

Max Cushion But Unstable
These are very cushiony and it doesn't make me feel to stable. I felt that my right shoe felt tight and ended up having pain while running. Maybe they just werent the right shoe for me.

Great Shoe
I have constant issues with my feet hurting. I am on them 12 plus hours a day 7 days a week. I have tried every shoe known to man. These are the best yet! Super comfortable amd my pain went from a 10 to maybe a 1.

I Like These
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Glycerin Max 2 is very comfortable. I love the cushion. I can run and do other workouts without my feet hurting. I am not crazy about the look of these. They have kind of a "Pointed" toe box. Other than that they feel comfortable.

Glycerin Max 2 Is The Most Comfortable Tennis Shoe
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are the most comfortable shoes I own. Brooks is my favorite brand when it comes to tennis shoes. They always feel broken in and so comfortable when I buy a new pair. That is valuable to me. I don’t want it to take weeks or months to break in a new pair of shoes.

Bring Back Glycerin Max.
Please bring back the original glycerin max. It is perfect for my feet. Glycerin max 2 is not the same. The cushion is different and toe box more narrow. It would be great if you offered both. I am a nurse and can work three 12 hour shifts in a row in glycerin max. The glycerin max 2 puts pressure in my lower back on long days so aren’t of much use.
