I definitely find it slightly narrow in the forefoot which puts some pressure on my (sensitive) pinky toenail.

No, but that's just me. Although if you want a more fun shoe in the same vein as the Glycerin I would say look at the Puma MagMax Nitro 2.

I have the glycerin max and put 750kms on it and loved it, at first it was the only shoe in my rotation I was doing everything in it and it helped me improve dramatically.

anthropologie is selling the brooks glycerin max for fashion wear

the original Glycerin Max looks so good with the single color sole design.

Glad they’re continuing with these as the glycerin max feels like they were made for my foot

Was hoping they’d add the nice pull tab ti the back like on the Glycerin 22s and on the upcoming Adrenaline 25.

I’m really glad they’re keeping that oversized logo, it really made the first glycerin max pop

Glycerin Max 2 = a hodgepodge of other shoes. Got the Alphafly heel shape, Vomero 18 lacing system, Puma Magmax tongue, and Saucony colorways.

Will there be a glycerine max gts???

I was not a fan of such a steep rocker. I ended up returning my Glycerin Max and going with the Superblast 2.

Hopefully they can shed some weight and clear up the arch blister issue. My Glycerin Max are over 350 miles so I'll definitely be picking up the 2s on release.

I wish the squish didn't allow my heel to sink on each step and cause blisters, love the Glycerin feel otherwise.

Though Glycerin Max feels lighter and nimbler than one might expect from its appearance and specs, it is noticeably heavier on feet than the SB2.
