100% - The problem with shoe reviews is you can only talk about "bouncy foam good!" a certain amount of ways/times. So by comparing against other shoes and providing buying guides gives people a reference to something they might already have experience with or at least have a point of comparison.

I just got the Glycerin Max to replace my Superblast Gen 1 which just rolled over 800km. Initial reaction is that the Glycerin Max is supremely comfortable, especially the upper. It is however very heavy. My US 10.5 weighs 330g (11.6 oz), thats 80g heavier than my Superblast gen 1. Also, I am a mid-foot striker and take shorter strides. So, the shoes felt quite firm and I wasn't getting any return for the extra weight. I experimented with changing the running style, and it became clear that the shoes really come alive when you are heel striking and then rolling from heal to toe and taking longer strides. When striking the heel, or when walking in them, the Glycerin Max is quite a bit softer than the Superblast, but when mid-foot striking they feel about the same barring the weight difference. So, for my style of running, the Superbast was a far better shoe, and I will return this and get the new Superblast 2, as they have improved the upper in the v2.

Kofuzi, I believe the Hyperion Max is no longer being produced though there are probably greatly discounted pairs available. The Hyperion 2 is its heir apparent and I love it. I’m also enjoying the Hyperion Max 2 which is a speedier, lighter and less plush shoe which I find great for long runs with goal marathon pace miles. The roll geometry works well for my mechanics and the foam-while on the firmer side at first- softened up quickly and somehow was very kind and protective to my feet even on my first run.

Brooks has been slowly coming around. I tried a run in the ghost 16 hoping that would work for me but could not bring myself to actually buy it. I tried the ghost max out for a run, was a bit nicer but still not convinced. Same thing happened with the glycerin 21. This shoe seems like it could be the one. Something exciting coming from brooks that does not feel like an all out “experiment shoe” from the Blueline lab and more of a staple shoe in their lineup

Had to return mine due to some pretty bad rubbing on the medial side of the shoe. Seems like an issue a lot of people are having from what I've seen on Reddit and other KZbin reviews. Picked up the Puma MagMax at 40% off around the same time as I ordered the Glycerin Max and it has been really fun to run in so far.

I really try not to take it personally when that happens. Sometimes, I take it as a signal that the brand isn’t confident about the shoe. Most of the time, they probably just forget or think that someone else has already sent it. Your be surprised at how little emailing happens to coordinate these things. Most of the time, shoes just show up, whether I ask for them or not.

Another great review, your reviews have always been spot on for my preferences and with that I take Glycerin Max foam to be cushy. But, the front rocker/ toe spring seems a bit too aggressive for an easy day shoe, thoughts? Feels like to me all Max shoe rockers are made mid foot to heel strikers.
@kofuzi

It squishes enough that the rocker doesn’t seem to prominent to me. Compared to Mag Max, it’s a later start to the curvature so I would consider it less aggressive than that shoe

I PR'd in Boston as a 73 y.o. F top 10 age grouper in the Saucony Endorphin Pro 3 (4:17) and feel that race shoes really helped-albeit neither very high stack super squishy type, nor extremely aggressive race shoes. The former would have slowed me down, the latter might not have been as kind to my body. You might consider the Endorphin Pro version I used if any are left on sale, but v4 is very good as well.

Not sure if the crowd agrees, but perhaps a section during reviews on sizing vs other brands (whether we should size up/ size down in the same genre of shoes i.e. vs. SC Trainer, Superblast etc.) would be nice as a buy reference - Totally aware its subjective but would be so useful to know :)

Hi Ko! Sounds that overall it's a little like the Triumph 22. Do you think there is a justification to use a peba foam in max shoes or that Brooks' and Puma's choice is better? And - we see that Puma stoped using peba in racing shoes, whats the logic? So, basicly I'm asking about foams... whic is bettet when especialy on max
@kofuzi
@kofuzi 20 сағат бұрын
I think the way you are looking at it may be unnecessarily narrow. Peba is great. Do I love the way it’s used in the Triumph 22? Not really. And thats not because of the foam. It’s because of the geometry and volume of foam used. (Although, it could be partially due to the foam. Not all Peba is created equal) Puma isn’t using peba (at least not in the flagship race product currently), but that doesn’t make it inferior. I’d take the Deviate Nitro Elite 3 over the NB SC Elite 4. And that’s not just because of the presence or absence of Peba. There’s also the carbon fiber plate thickness and position within the foam that does a lot. And this can work the other way around too. People love to say dramatic things like “EVA is ded”. But the Mach 6 is one of my favorite daily trainers. And it’s supercritical EVA, if I’m not mistaken.

I have been using the BGM as a daily trainer for close to 2 weeks now, and unfortunately I do not get along with this shoe at all. I feel like I am actually fighting the shoe. Absolutely no energy return, if anything it just absorbs effort. This is borne out by my times on my standard route, which is typically 6% longer than in my previous daily trainers at the same average HR. I also do not find them very soft at all (midfoot striker). I feel the upper is just enormously overbuilt, some very lightweight uppers (like Alphafly) are more comfortable to me. And here in AU the price of the BGM is almost the same as an Alphafly!

How abour the balos compare to glycerin max
@kofuzi
@kofuzi 20 сағат бұрын
The Balos is closer to a Superblast than a Glycerin Max. The NB shoe that is closest would be the More

That depends on the criteria you use to define better. I have provided some guidance in answering this question in the chapter “vs Magmax”

How kind of you to take time out of the busy marathon season to drop a shoe review! Didn't even have time to comb 😛Gonna disagree on SB2 being overkill. I think it's the perfect amount of kill. You can go slow in an SB1/2. You can't go fast in any shoe with the word max in it. Plus, I'm not sure that new DNA Tuned foam benefits anyone who isn't a heel striker. 🤷‍♂

Hurricane is a stability shoe. If you need a stability shoe, get that (or another stability shoe). If you want a big squishy shoe that may be a bit of the opposite of a stability shoe, consider the Glycerin Max

Between all of those I’ve tried all of them and the one I like most you did not mention it talking about over 40mm stack and it’s the Kinvara Pro excelent choice very underrated and as bouncy as superblast. Cheers

The Kinvara Pro has a substantially different experience than this shoe. Other than them both being tall, I don’t really consider them similar.
