GlideRide Max 2

A high-stack cruiser with FF Blast Max foam, a firm three-quarter EVA plate and a pronounced forefoot rocker. Stable, smooth and light for its height, though the ride is muted and the fit narrow.

What's new: Lighter and firmer than the original, with a more pronounced forefoot rocker, a more centred and stable ride, and a snugger woven upper.

True to size

True to size, but the heel, arch and toe box are snug and low, so it suits normal to narrow feet best; a wide version is offered.
