Max Cushion

A tall stack of FF Turbo+ that's light enough to run workouts in.

“The max-cushion shoe that forgot to be slow.”

Big, soft and surprisingly nimble for a shoe this tall.

“Max cushion that still feels like running, not wading.”

ZoomX on top of ReactX, stacked high and priced like a daily trainer.

“The best-value big cushion shoe Nike has made in years.”

The original marshmallow, now with a livelier foam underfoot.

“For recovery days and anyone whose knees have opinions.”

A thick slab of PWRRUN PB that stays soft without feeling dead.

“Bouncier than most max-cushion shoes, which makes the long run go quicker.”

Bouncy Enerzy NXT foam and a gentle rocker, with a stretchy sock-like upper.

“Lively, fun and much lighter than it looks.”

A plush knit upper on a stack of soft, stable foam.

“Comfort first, with no wobble to pay for it.”

Puma's maximalist, with nitrogen-infused foam and a grippy PumaGrip outsole.

“Huge and soft, and it grips wet roads better than almost anything.”

Brooks's tallest stack yet, with a rocker to keep it rolling.

“A lot of shoe. Some days that's exactly what you want.”

A broad, stable base and a rocker, made for walking days as much as running ones.

“The cushioned, no-surprises pick for new runners and long walks.”
