Details & care
Designed for everything from distance and recovery runs to everyday training and walking, this well-cushioned running shoe puts airy comfort and springy performance under every stride.
Perfect for: Runners and walkers looking for one shoe that brings reliable performance to high-mileage runs, daily strolls and everything in between.
Upper: Triple-jacquard air mesh wraps your foot in plush, supportive comfort. Well-padded collar provides a dynamic fit and promotes reliable lockdown as your foot moves.
Midsole Drop: 6mm. Classified as a mid-drop measurement, it pushes your foot forward to support a more natural mid/forefoot strike.
Lower: Large cells of DNA-tuned foam under the heel provide airy landings, while small cells of foam under the forefoot launch every toe-off with springy energy. Sculpted GlideRoll Rocker midsole promotes effortless heel-to-toe transitions for distraction-free footing at any distance or on any sunny day.

Couldn’t ask for anything better
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve always been a fan of the glycerin max and will never go back. This is something I wear for my 12 hour work shift. I’ve always been a person to wear hokas but since finding the glycerin max, I’ve never been able to try anything else. I have plantar fasciitis and these help with the pain post shift and the morning after! I definitely recommend.

Glycerin Max 2
Sadly I am not able to recommend these as highly as the Glycerin Max which are a Brilliant shoe.
The toe box is much smaller and the shoe is harder. I had sore feet at the end of the day.
I love the Glycerin Max which are great for comfort & size. I have never had a problem with them.

It’s a good shoe
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Toe box is a bit more narrow than Glycerin Max. GM2 is less “springy” & does not propel me forward as much as GM. The GM2 is a good shoe but I do prefer the GM for its plushness over the GM2. Would love brighter colors/combinations of colors!!

Love!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been running in these for the last several weeks and I really love this shoe. The amount of cushion is perfect and I have had zero issues with my feet. 10/10 recommend, especially if you love the Ghost Max.

still bottom, and limeted toe room
even the bottom is thick, but it's stiff. it's not as cushion as the ghost max2. it's pretty shallow on the toe room, don't feel comfortble at all.

THE OG was so much better!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the OG Glycerine MAX! They provided me so much comfort while recovering from a pelvic ring fracture. This newer version is a disappointment though! Just finished running a marathon two weeks ago, and the vents along the top of the shoe gave me the worst blisters I’ve ever had! They ended up infected, and were so painful! Now I’m afraid to wear them, even for shorter runs.
