Customer Reviews Brooks Glycerin Max

The absolute Worst Brooks glycerin shoe ever marketed! When you wear them, you feel like you’re tipping over. They look like space shoes and are not attractive. The padding by the Achilles protrudes and causes discomfort after wear. The sneakers do not feel steady. Hey Brooks, if I wanted the feel of Skechers sneakers, I would have bought the much cheaper brand. Needless to say, I will be returning them for a full refund. Hey Brooks, listen to the people and bring back glycerin 16, your best sneaker to date but do not skimp on quality material.

After almost dying in a serious car accident, and undergoing 18 major surgeries in 15 years (all due to the accident), I’ve FINALLY found the perfect running shoes for my feet. My right bad foot has a fused ankle, and a fused right MTP Joint. This specific foot was crushed into a million pieces in the car wreck, and has been rebuilt 4 times in 15 years. I’ve had to relearn how to walk twice, and can’t stand for more than 30-45 minutes without pain. Well, I’ve tried every single brand of running shoes made, and these provide the best support ever! The plush cushioning is what my orthopedic foot/ankle surgeon recommended for my special needs, especially for my bad right foot. They take the pressure off my bad knees, and give relief to my recent Spinal Fusion surgery too. These, as far as I’m considered, are genius shoes! I don’t care about the negative reviews, because these reviews have nothing to do with the hell I have gone through since my car accident. I do not feel like I’m rolling forward and losing my balance at all—They actually help me walk better, and my feet NEVER are tired after wearing these. They’re a miracle for me. Thank you Brooks, for creating a show so miraculous, and a shoe that truly helps me actually be pain free for once!

Not a fan! Disappointed. They feel more like Skechers … feels like your tilting forward. Takes a bit to get used to. Not a fan. Hey Brroks, bring back the support and “cloud feel” of your best Brooks shoe ever - the Glycerin 17!!!!

I luv luv luv these shoes. They are sooooo comfortable. One of my favorite shoe! I am on my feet a lot and these have excellent arch support for someone with high arches.

Very springy ride, max cushion just like the name. Great for speed and standing all day

Love them! I use them for indoor cardio and my feet, knees & back do not feel the impact of landing when running or jumping. The Brooks description reads energized and this is true. You’ll notice that the sock part is somewhat stiffer compared to regular glycerins, which I do miss but hasn’t been a problem - the landings are so phenomenal!! I normally wear a wide, so I’m looking forward to the possibility of Brooks releasing this shoe in a wide version too.

Most comfortable shoes! I am currently suffering from capsulitis of second toe, ball of foot pain and this shoe alleviates most of the discomfort! I do not want to wear anything else. It was recommended and I am so glad I gave them a try! I love them so I ordered a second pair. Wish they also made a hiking or gortex version. Thank you Zappos!

Did not like the fit.

This is a great max cushion, easy day running shoe. Doesn't feel too heavy on the feet, and more breathable than some of the other max cushion shoes from other brands. Will definitely be keeping in my rotation.

The Brooks Glycerin Max feels awesome, and I was excited to run in them. However, they ran a bit smaller than I anticipated, so I needed to return them.

Love the new Brooks Glycerin Max. I’ve been walking 15K steps per day after getting two energetic puppies that require separate walks. When wearing my old Brooks Glycerin GTS my feet were screaming but after upgrading to the Max I have had no foot pain since. Total game changer for long mileage.

These are fantastic. A great alternative to Hokas. Pleasantly surprised by cushioning and light weight, despite clunky appearance.
