    Small step back from the first gen, but still an amazing shoe

    If you want a faster recovery!

    Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was getting ready to leave Brooks when this shoe came out. It has changed things for me so much. Longer runs with faster recovery. My joints/knees feel night & day different. Only thing I ask is Brooks make a wider version like they do for all their shoes.

    Replacement and Upgrade

    Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I replaced my Glycerin Max shoes after 420 miles with the Glycerin Max 2 and they are now my primary running shoes. They have a good combination of support and cushioning.

    Most comfortable shoes ever!

    Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are the most comfortable shoes i've ever worn! They are very very cushioning and plush, its like walking on pillows. They are high, the soles are thick which helps add comfort to every step. I took these on my travel and walked in them all day and had no issues. I have the all White colors, i wish they come out with an all black or grey because the white obviously gets and looks dirty very quickly but nonetheless highly recommend! I've tried Hoka, On Clouds, Fit Flops, these are still the best.

    The Original Max was way more confy

    Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Loved the Max and been running on them since they came out and the most comfortable running shoe I ever tried but the Max 2 is so different and the comfy feel is gone I am praying the Max 3 gets back to the original or I guess I will try another brand

    Perfect shoe for 40 year old bones

    Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love these. After running upwards of 5 runs 5-7 miles each, I can confidently say these are amazing shoes. I don't feel any fatigue, pain, or stress after having run over 5 miles in these and frequently finish runs just because I've run my usual routes. Now that I have these shoes, I need to make some longer routes and see if I can continue training injury-free!

    Not for everyone

    Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Cushy, high, although unstable feeling. Too bulky for my style. The tapering on forefoot is somewhat awkward compared to Ghost Max 3. No bounce, plush feel when stepping, roomy. Does feel quite warm due to extra dorsal foot padding. If you are male, this style may seem more feminine for you (no offense, this is merely about styling). Finally, wearing for just 24 hours, you will notice crease on the sidewalls of the cushion. I have compared this to Ghost Max 3, which was a clear winner for me as it provides perfect balance of comfort, room, cool (temp), styling (although could use better netting design like the Ghost 17/18), stride and not as bulky either.

    Most Comfortable Shoes Ever

    Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are the most comfortable running shoes I have ever had. As a longtime 5k and mile runner returning from a longtime sabbatical from the sport, I wanted shoes that would help me train without putting excessive strain on my ankles or calves. These are springy so that I can run longer without exhaustion and energized for the next day’s run. The curled toe on the front sole helps me continue my stride, and my entire foot feels supported by the max cushioning as well.

    The best shoes for any feet.

    The Glycerin Max 2 lost its ultra cushion feel. Now just feels like another running shoe

    Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Really disappointing. The Glycerin series is known for their cushion and I have owned 4 different Glycerin series over the last few years and loved all of them. The Glycerin Max is my all time favorite running shoe and I was excited to run in the Glycerin Max 2. Unfortunately, the Glycerin Max 2 is firm like all the other shoes and no longer comfortable for recovery runs or long easy runs. The Glycerin Max 2 lost its unique cushion feel and not worth the money, really disappointing! I am currently looking at other brands to fill that void of an ultra cushioned running shoe.

    Fantastic Long Run Shoe
