Brooks Glycerin Max 2 review: what runners say

Fit
Upper described as comfortable; recurring reports of arch blisters on the previous version. Lack of available widths noted as a limitation.
Feel
Maximalist cushioning with rocker geometry for smooth transitions. Energy return is judged disappointing: a recovery shoe, not a performance stimulus.
Durability
Version 1 holds up beyond 700 miles according to direct users. Outsole described as solid across aggregated sources.
Best for
Shoe for easy days and long runs on asphalt or concrete. Weight and lack of responsiveness rule it out for faster sessions.
Weak points
High weight limits versatility. Overly thick laces reported by multiple users. Arch blisters from v1 not yet resolved in v2.
