The GlideRide Max has become my go-to shoe for long runs. I’ve put about 200 miles on these, including several 20+ mile training runs for my upcoming marathon. The balanced cushioning really shines after 2+ hours on feet – much better than my old Novablast 3. The rocker geometry helps maintain good form when fatigue sets in. While the toe box is indeed narrow as noted, it loosened up after about 50 miles. I particularly love how the outsole grips in wet conditions. For marathon training, these are nearly perfect aside from some early signs of outsole wear.

Popped into my local running store to try these on since I love my Novablast 3s. Gotta say, the toe box feels way more snug than I’m used to with ASICS. Nice to see them priced lower than the Superblast though – might give them a shot since it’s similar tech for $30 less.

After 200 miles in the GlideRide Max, I’m thoroughly impressed with its performance for long runs. The rocker geometry really helps maintain efficiency in the later miles – I used these for a 20-mile training run and my legs felt fresher than usual. The FFBlast+ foam hits a sweet spot between cushioning and responsiveness. Compared to the Novablast 3, these feel more stable and structured. The narrow toe box is noticeable but hasn’t caused issues. For marathon training, these have become my favorite shoe. They’re significantly better than the regular GlideRide 3. Great value at $170.

Just tried these on at Fleet Feet after putting 500 miles on my original GlideRides. Love that they kept that smooth rocker feel but man, the cushioning is next level! Was eyeing the Superblast but couldn’t justify that price tag. Might grab these when my current pair bites the dust.

Been a Nimbus guy forever but decided to try these out. Gotta say, that rocker takes some getting used to – felt weird on my first few runs but now I’m starting to dig how it helps me roll through my stride. Big bummer though – my wide feet are feeling pretty squished. Wish ASICS would show us wide-foot folks some love with these!

The GlideRide Max has become my go-to shoe for long runs over the past 3 months. The combination of FF Blast+ and FF Blast Turbo foams creates an incredibly smooth ride that stays comfortable even after 20 miles. While not as bouncy as the Superblast, the rocker geometry makes for effortless transitions. I’ve had some concerns about outsole wear, particularly in the forefoot, but the overall package is worth it. The narrow toe box took some getting used to – I went up half a size. For reference, I also run in the Novablast 3 and prefer these for anything over 90 minutes. Great value compared to other max cushion options.

After putting 150 miles on the GlideRide Max, I’m impressed with how it handles long runs. The midsole provides excellent cushioning without feeling mushy – a nice balance between the Novablast and Superblast. Did a 20-miler in these and my legs felt fresher than expected. The grip held up well in wet conditions, though I’m seeing some early wear on the outsole. The narrow toe box takes some getting used to compared to my Hoka Bondi 8s. For $169, you’re getting a lot of premium tech. My only real complaint is durability – hoping to get 350-400 miles but we’ll see. Overall solid daily trainer that shines on longer efforts.

I’ve logged over 300 miles in my GlideRide Max and they’ve been fantastic for long runs. The combination of FF Blast+ and FF Blast Turbo foams creates a smooth, protective ride that doesn’t feel dead. While not as bouncy as the Novablast 3, these roll through transitions better thanks to the Guidesole technology. I use them primarily for runs 10+ miles and recovery days. The upper breathes well and provides good lockdown despite the narrow toe box. Compared to the Saucony Triumph 21, these feel more efficient but less plush. Only real downside is some premature outsole wear.

Training for my first marathon and torn between these and the Superblast for those long Sunday runs. Anyone used both? Really want to know how that rocker feels on tired legs around mile 18. Also worried about the outsole lasting through my whole training block – my local routes are pretty rough on shoes.

After putting 150+ miles on the GlideRide Max, I’m impressed with how it handles long runs. The midsole strikes a perfect balance between cushioning and responsiveness – did a 20-miler in these and my legs felt fresh afterward. The grip held up well in wet conditions during a rainy training run. Compared to the Superblast, these offer 80% of the performance at a much better price point. My only gripe is the narrow toe box – had to size up 0.5. Used these primarily for easy and long runs between 8:30-9:30 pace. They’re more versatile than the Novablast 3 but not as bouncy. Build quality is solid after 150 miles with minimal wear.

About to pull the trigger on these for my easy days. Anyone switch over from the Novablast 3? The rocker looks pretty aggressive in pics. Also eyeing the Superblast for my weekend long runs – curious how they compare if anyone’s tried both. Training for a spring marathon so cushioning is key!
