Brooks Glycerin Max vs Ghost Max 3

The Brooks Glycerin Max and Brooks Ghost Max 3 may both be "Max" by name, but they have very different rides. The Glycerin Max is the all-out, high-stack, highly cushioned cruiser, designed to help soak up miles with maximum comfort and protection. The Ghost Max 3, however, is the shorter stack, more stable offering, great for runners who love the ride of the regular Ghost and want a bit more cushioning underfoot. With all that stack, though, it's no surprise that neither shoe is especially snappy, so it comes down to how you want your ride to feel: higher stack, high comfort like the Glycerin Max, or lower stack, more stability like the Ghost Max 3.
