The best
Originally posted on brooksrunning.com
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love these running shoes. They're so comfortable and responsive, it's like you're running on clouds- I used to go back and forth with the Hoka Bondi, but the Glycerin Max 2 are a big step up from them. These are my 2nd pair. They're run a bit small so order half size up.

Buy them!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my second pair of the Glycerin Max. Great neutral shoes, comfy for walking and running, and the extra cushion feels so great for those long runs! These fit TTS to SLIGHTLY small, but I size up .5-1 size for running. If in between, go up! I had mg feet sized and could comfortably wear a size 7. First pair I ordered 7.5, while they fit perfect, when on longer runs & training for races, my toes hit the end. Ended up ordering an 8 this time. They are slightly big (not too big) and they’re perfect for all my runs. So if you’re walking or everyday wear, normal size to .5 size bigger. If running, possibly consider .5-1 size bigger. I truly enjoy these shoes!!

Bring back the original design
Originally posted on brooksrunning.com
The original Glycerin Max were my favorite running shoes I’ve ever had. I had no pain, was able to get back into long distance running. When the Glycerin Max 2 came out, it was perfect timing as my originals were on their last leg - however, this new pair is nothing like the originals. The support and cushion is gone, I’m fighting for miles in them, and the pain is back. I unfortunately had to return and find an old pair of originals on Depep. I would not waste your money on the 2. PLEASE bring back the old design! I would repurchase those for life!

Long Distance running shoe

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the best long distance running shoe I have found. I’m rehabbing a soft tissue injury and ran the 2026 Peachtree Road Race with no pain and plan on buying the next edition. I absolve the Glycerin Max!!!

My sole shoe
Originally posted on brooksrunning.com
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m super happy with the shoe! I only have it 4 bc I seem to have a bruised toe so I’m not sure it’s the toe box or me but haven’t had it before. I do love the heel to toe lift and the rocker toe! Will continue to buy these!

Best walking shoe I’ve ever owned!
Originally posted on brooksrunning.com
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought these 2 weeks prior to a trip to Europe. I was a little hesitant with the price, but I knew I would need comfortable shoes for all the walking tours we had booked. Buying these shoes was the best decision I made!!! We were putting in on average 14,000 steps per day, with multiple days of 8-10 hour tours and my feet never hurt! I would buy another pair in a heartbeat. Thank you Brooks for saving my feet! 🥰

Cushioned with color pop
Originally posted on brooksrunning.com
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Like the different colors and laces to give the shoes some pop. They do run a tad bit small so order 1/2 size up. They do feel a bit heavy if you are doing longer runs but I really enjoy the extra cushioning.

Almost perfect but too narrow
Originally posted on brooksrunning.com
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The cushion is amazing! However they are way too narrow. I even went up a half size and it still feels tight on my feet. I’ve tried the other brooks shoes in wide and they fit a lot better. I wish these would come in wide! They would be perfect for standing on hard floors at work all day (hospital worker)

Takes the pain away
Originally posted on brooksrunning.com
I wear these every day and wish that I had found them sooner. I have plantar fasciitis, bunions, tenosynovitis, just a host of foot issues. Can’t walk barefoot so I have to wear shoes indoors. This is the first pair of shoes that allow me to walk around almost as if I’m not in pain. I’m ordering a second pair to use when I leave the house they’re that comfortable. Worth a shot in my opinion if you have foot issues! I do wish they had even more fun colors. There are some colors in the men’s that are also nice. Keep the fun colors coming! Love the simplicity of the pink one they have and would love to see them done in more colors like a green or purple, or with a black background instead as an option.

DO NOT BUY THESE SHOES! I purchased these shoes 2 months ago and they are horrible! Each day I walk in them (between 8 to 12 miles) my heels get huge blisters. I used to love the Brooks brand, but not anymore.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] GM2 is overall a decent shoe. The original glycerin max was so much better and lasted a lot longer than GM2. Also does not feel like as much room for my toes in GM 2 as original. Please bring back original glycerin max
