Brooks Women's Glycerin Max

Six millimeters might sound like a small number, but it's the detail that sets the Glycerin Max apart — a low offset specifically engineered to reduce strain on the plantar fascia. Nitrogen-infused DNA Tuned foam (a step up from standard DNA LOFT) delivers soft cushioning and real impact protection, GlideRoll Rocker geometry smooths the heel-to-toe roll, and an engineered air mesh upper keeps things breathable. At 9.5 oz, it stays surprisingly light for a max-cushion shoe.
