My arches have been absolutely destroyed by this shoe. The rocker seems to exacerbate the problem. Beware if yours are on the flat side…

I purchased the glycerin max yesterday. shoeThe underfoot feel is fantastic. The upper is nice as well and also the width is ok.

This shoe is like the first time you used a cell phone, the internet or anything that seemingly feels impossible.

It’s so tall, going down tight stairs is hard. It’s so heavy, it should feel cumbersome. It looks like you will have zero stability and you will bite it.

However, none of these things are true.

It’s so stable it’s freakish, does not seem possible.

It’s fast too, I keep having to slow my pace down for daily runs because this thing just wants to go.

And as it is a max cushion type shoe it is ridiculously comfortable to run in. Not too soft, not too rigid…it’s impossible but that’s what it is. Think this is my first “slow” daily long run trainer that I really get excited to run in.

I’ve worked in a specialty-run store for 13 years. I believe that orthotics should only enhance the fit of a shoe – not decrease the comfort. A SuperFeet insole is firm for sure, but if you are wearing it due to a foot injury (plantar fasciitis, heel spurs, neuroma, etc.), I highly recommend keeping it to aid in comfort and keeping aches and pains at bay. From a stability standpoint, the insert may provide just the right amount of stability since the Glycerin Max is a super plush shoe.

The Glycerin is the only shoe I wear and I pair it with a Superfeet insert for stability. Would adding an insert ruin the benefit of this shoe?

How does the shoe compare to asics glide ride max. I have glide ride max but was wondering could this still have a spot in rotation. I use cielo x1s for racing. New balance rebel v4 for speedier runs.

I’m really disappointed to see that the shoe won’t be available in a men’s 14 (not from Running Warehouse, at least). This looks like it could’ve be perfect for us Clydesdale runners.

Now I’m wanting to see a “between 2 shoes” with the puma max

In reply to kai. That's a tough call, they're both pretty solid but a bit different. This has more of a roll and toe spring whereas the Prime X is just super bouncy.

I love that Meaghan mentioned the Aurora-BL! I still have a pair of them and break them out for special speed sessions on the tread. Still going strong. Moved away from Brooks since then but curious to take these for a spin.
