Product Details:
The Brooks Glycerin Max proudly introduces DNA Tuned cushioning, straight from Brooks' innovative BlueLine Lab. This supercritical nitrogen-infused foam boasts dual-size cell technology – larger cells in the heel for plusher landings, with smaller cells in the forefoot for invitingly energetic toe-offs. Meanwhile, the sculpted GlideRoll Rocker geometry helps promote the smoothest transitions possible.
While this beauty is rightfully all about the delightful experience under your feet, the quasi-strategic rubber outsole provides a just-right balance of generous coverage, and it's all wrapped up in an equally stylish air mesh upper for ultimate comfort. Not to be left out, its unique linear last construction is designed to be inclusive for many foot shapes and to accommodate orthotics if desired.
If you're ready to level up your training game in runner-first innovation, lace up the Brooks Glycerin Max for gleeful airy cruising, mile after mile.

Customer Reviews
Premium Build and Aesthetics But Falls ShortI was lured in by the hype but ultimately disappointed by fit and found the performance not great enough to overlook the fit. I have a regular width foot that is lower volume. Upon step in, it feels that the heel is very shallow, not allowing my heel to sit entirely within the shoes. In reality my foot is fine and the feeling goes away after a bit of running but the sensation is off and real. I well over 40 miles at varied paces on fresh and tired legs in hopes the foam would break in to something notable but it just feels "meh" in the energy return and without any real purpose to that much stack. Additionally, my right foot feels like it is rolling off the insole and the lateral pressure applied by the upper implies my regular foot is just too wide for the platform. I would keep them for occasional runs if funds were unlimited, but I will be returning them in favor of my current, gen 1 Superblasts that have 600+ miles and are more enjoyable for my running style.

AMAZING! AMAZING! AMAZING!This is my first brooks shoe, AMAZING SHOE! The Brooks Glycerin Max truly showcases cutting-edge innovation with its DNA Tuned cushioning its great for long runs, its very comfortable, foamy, buttery smooth, responsive and a good bouncy spring. The combination of cushioning, responsiveness, and secure fit really makes it stand out for long runs, especially when comfort is your top priority. offering plush cushioning in the heel and energetic responsiveness in the forefoot. This provides an ideal mix of comfort and responsiveness, making every step feel smoother and more efficient. The GlideRoll Rocker geometry ensures seamless transitions, reducing fatigue over longer distances. The laces are amazingly secure. The tongue is cushy and long enough. Overall this Max cushion shoe feels very well built, top of the line premium running shoe. These might be the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn to this day. Im a bigger guy 6'2" 250+ lbs and wanted something that would make my back, legs, knees, joints, and feet feel great all day even after a long run. I wasn't looking for speedy shoe however I was looking for comfort and this is it! This shoe seems to be a perfect match, especially for someone looking for that premium, all-day wear feel.
In essence, the Brooks Glycerin Max combines innovation, comfort, and performance into a shoe that feels as good as it looks, giving you the freedom to focus on enjoying the run, mile after mile.
It The Brooks Glycerine Max really excels in providing solid traction, even in challenging conditions. Running in fog, wet surfaces, and over fallen leaves can be tricky, but with that kind of grip, you can tackle any terrain with confidence. That kind of grip gives you an added layer of confidence, knowing your shoes are providing stability as you tackle different terrains. It’s especially reassuring on longer runs, where the added stability helps you stay focused and safe, even when the weather or surface conditions aren’t ideal. It’s great that the shoe offers that extra peace of mind during tougher conditions. It’s always reassuring to know your shoes will keep you stable, especially on longer runs.

BIG AND BEAUTIFULFantastic recovery shoe. It did require some break in miles, at first it felt super stiff and rigid. Im about 160lbs mid- forfoot striker and it took about 50-60 miles to really feel the cushon, beyond that they have been outstanding. The heel cup is a tad low, but does not cause me any problems. This is my first brooks shoe and it has been an excellent choice. I usually train in the sb2 and these are more protective. Overall its a great long run, recovery shoe, a little expensive, but if it lasts 400-500 miles i will be pleased. Its probably the ugliest shoe i own, but when it feels this good....

To snugI’m a size 9 in every running shoe brand I’ve ever tried. Got a size 9 for these and I could barely get them on my feet. Recommend a half size up. But the foam felt pretty good.

Great for recovery runs, not my primary go-toSizing is true. Quality materials.
Can't recall any other shoe w/ such a low heel cup. This is very noticeable initially but thankfully no slipping issues during runs. The laces are amazingly secure. The tongue is cushy and long enough. Overall this Brooks Max shoe feels very premium and easy to get in/out of.
My only downsides with the shoe are some instability issues caused by the stack height when running downhill or on uneven surfaces.
I choose this shoe on days where tired legs need to get an hour+ run in (ranging from 8:00min to 10:00min/mile paces).

Surprisingly Fast; Supremely ProtectiveI am really impressed by these! They are comfortable and smooth at everything from brisk walking ~14min/mi pace to pickups ~6min/mi pace. The cushioning is somehow protective and bouncy while also having a snappy response that makes the shoe run much lighter and faster than its look/weight suggests.
I also wore these for a post-race recovery run on rolling paved hills, two days after a 50-miler and they were superb! No toenail pressure on my sore toes, no pressure on my healing big toe blisters and so smooth/bouncy that I had to consciously slow down. I’ve never had such a great run so soon after a long race.
Sizing is accurate. Vertical toebox space isn’t the best but the upper is forgiving enough that you don’t feel cramped once running. I’ve a normal to narrow foot, often requiring the extra eyelets for heel lockdown but don’t need that in these.
Spend the time to dial in the midfoot lacing and give these a couple of outings at all paces and you’ll be glad you did. A truly versatile shoe that makes faster runs feel effortless and slower runs feel FUN.

Combo of plush and bounceMy Glycerin Max arrived yesterday and I promptly put them on then ran outside!!! Of course, I stretched and used a theragun to loosen my leg muscles long before my run. Anyway, while running, my feet gel with the shoes perfectly. No pressure points and no rubbings. For every impacts (landings), there are blissful plushes. For every pushes, there are excellent bounces. It's a great pair for a nice long slow run. I got the shoes because I wanted to run longer with absolutely no pain. I wasn't looking for speed, I was looking for comfort and this is it. Oo, the shoes does rocked me foward and it's ideal for running. They're not design for walking at all.
Good ground grip. It was cool sunny day in San Francisco.

Just what I neededI was a fan of the original Adidas Strungs( version 2 was a fail), but these are much better. These are the best Max Stack/cushion trainer i have ever run in. Thank you shoe engineers at Brooks. Please never discontinue this shoe.

The Best Brooks out therei bought a pair in womens because quite frankly, mens colors are just not good. At All.
Anyway, the shoe is great out of the box, 9 miles. like it was made for my feet. The room, the plushness and the overall just feel of the shoe is phenomenal. its an absolute long run must have for easy dare i say possibly maybe some sub speed runs. The shoe does just conform to the feet and i can see it literally fitting narrow, wide or voluminous feet like i have.

Lockdown / Heel Issuessomething about the upper not quite right for me, the heel is a bit low and have tried various lacing techniques, can't seem to get a great lockdown. The foam feels great and is comfortable, only a slow shoe for me. At 200$ can't give it more than a 3, there are just better options.

Great shoe but too roomyVery well constructed shoe that's comfortable and protective. The problem is that it's too wide. I have many Brooks shoes and I've never experienced this before
