Brooks has always had a lot of great cushioned shoes in its line-up, so it says a lot that I rate the original Brooks Glycerin Max as the best the brand has ever produced, with its higher stack and pronounced rocker pushing it ahead of the likes of the Brooks Glycerin 22 and Brooks Ghost 17.
The Brooks Glycerin Max 2 mostly sticks to the same blueprint as its predecessor, and so is also a very good cushioned running shoe. It is, however, heavier than the original Glycerin Max and less likely to appear in sales, which makes the older model a better value in my book.
