Brooks  Glycerin Max 2 Road-Running Shoes - Women's

I’ve dealt with loads of shin issues in the past while training as a distance runner, and the glycerin max was like a breath of fresh air and felt amazing to run in. I was excited to try out the glycerin max 2 which originally seemed to work well- but after about a month of use I can say I will never run in them again. The heel is super low leaving instability when taking fast turns and the cushioning in the heel is not flat which has left me with pain in both of my Achilles heel. I really wanted to love these but they are nothing like the original. I can no longer find the original glycerin max in my size and will be transition back into wearing the ghost max.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So sad these didn’t work out for me bc I was so excited about the color. I got the sensation of blisters coming in on the inside of my arch after a 5 mile run and then on my second run the blisters came in and were angry at mile six and had to do the rest of my 18 mile run with blisters. They are much harder too and I was also getting toe pain towards the end of my run. I decided to return them because my regular glycerin did not do this to me at all.

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.] I LOVE LOVE LOVE these shoes, would definitely buy again!

Amazing !!!! Great shoe my 4th pair

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Slight stiffer than original one, but I really like this shoes. I ran about 22 miles in and there was little crack on lateral outer soles..not sure if i stepped on rocks or the softer material or not, but I will be wearing this shoes for upcoming marathon training for sure! If there wasn’t crack after I ran 22 miles, I will give 5 stars!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The original v.1 was THE BEST running shoe I’ve ever run in, recommended it to all my friends and family. The new version (#2) is much firmer. I’m not sure why you would create a firmer version of the best plush shoe/: there are already so many firm running shoes on the market, I thought that was the point of the max cushion. If anything I thought v2 might be more plush. The rocker in v2 is completely different as well. So sad. Going to switch to Nike’s Vomero Premium for now until the glycerine max 3 comes out, with the hope it’ll return to something similar to the original v1.

Most comfortable running shoe by far however they have not held up. The rubber just peeled off the bottom. Only had them short time and they are already ruined. All of my other brooks lasted much longer. Disappointed in the quality especially for the price.
