Like Stepping On A Pillow But Take Some Getting Used To

I bought these shoes the day after Christmas. Prior to this pair, I walked/ran in a pair of Glycerin 21 running shoes, after which I swore I'd only wear Brooks moving forward. This pair, so far, has not disappointed. The shoes are high quality; I especially like the inner heel. So many of my shoes (other than Brooks) tear on the inner heel, making them highly uncomfortable and often unwearable for walking/running. My Glycerin 21 shoes still have not torn on the inner heel (2 years). These Glycerin Max 2 running shoes seem to be constructed at the heel in the same way. Stepping while in these new shoes is incredibly comfortable...literally like taking steps on a pillow. Extremely comfortable, too, walking and running on a treadmill; however, because they sit so high, my body (posture) is really having to get used to them. Slowly, over several weeks, I am adjusting and am very happy with this purchase.

Another Winner

Probably my favorite running shoe yet, I had 3 pairs of the first gen Glycerin Max. As others mentioned, this new iteration has denser foam and is more responsive and way less mushy than the first one. Build quality is outstanding I continue to think Brooks is one of the most durable brands. It's also a great-looking shoe besides the boomer color ways. Which leads me into this pitch: Brooks, I love everything about your shoe except for the dated color ways - you're missing a huge market segment because of this, younger people are choosing New Balance simply because their designs are fresher. Functionally Brooks is a superior shoe - fresh, non-old people color ways would do your brand infinite justice. I am available for hire and guarantee if I was in charge of color ways, you would sell significantly more shoes. Please reach out at your convenience, thanks!

Running On A Cloud

The Glycerin Max 2 was my first time using a shoe with an oversized sole. I wear a men’s 9 and this shoe was comfortablely snug after getting laced up. The heel seemed a bit low when I tried them on for the first time but because of the fit, there was no issue with my heel slipping and no blisters. The first few steps did feel a little funny as I adjusted to the shoe height and the cushion feel but after a couple minutes I had acclimated to my new altitude. I liked the squishy cushion feel while running vs an harsh pounding. It is softer on my joints. I also like the spring like effect because of the shoe’s geometry. The GlideRocker was less noticeable on a treadmill than it was running on the track or road. I think this might help someone with endurance and long distance more than me who is bit out of shape.

Walking On Air!

These shoes are unbelievably comfortable. They truly feel like I’m walking on air. My feet feel amazing even after wearing them all day, which is rare for me. The sole is super thick and provides incredible cushioning and support, making them perfect for walking, long days on your feet, or easy/light runs. While I love the plush feel, the thickness does make them a bit too bulky for intense or fast-paced running. The thickness kind of makes me feel like I’m rolling forward when I run in these. That said, they absolutely shine as an everyday comfort shoe and for recovery or casual runs. The fit is incredible, the black color looks sleek, and every time I put them on my feet are genuinely happy. These are my go-to shoes when comfort is the priority.
