Product Information

Full details

The Brooks Glycerin Max 2 is designed for adult runners and walkers who prioritize plush, maximum cushioning for a wide variety of activities, including daily training, long-distance efforts, and recovery runs. Featuring advanced GlideRoll™ Rocker technology, these trainers offer exceptionally smooth transitions and efficient toe propulsion, making them ideal for those seeking a supportive and comfortable ride. While they provide excellent energy return, runners who prefer a more minimalist or stripped-back ground feel may find the higher stack height and substantial cushioning profile to be less responsive than specialized racing flats.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for flat feet?

The Glycerin Max 2 offers high levels of support and cushioning, which can be beneficial for various arch types, though specific orthotics can be swapped in if needed.

What is the weight of these trainers?

The shoes weigh approximately 320.3g, reflecting their high-cushion, robust design.

Can I use these for marathon training?

Yes, their design is excellent for long-distance training runs where consistent comfort is the priority.

How do I ensure the correct fit?

Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to account for foot swelling during exercise.

How often should I replace them?

Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and body weight.

Troubleshooting

Feeling of instability at high speeds

The shoe is built for comfort and smooth transitions; ensure you are utilizing a neutral gait and avoid sharp cornering at high velocities.

Foam feeling hard in cold weather

Standard running shoe foams can firm up in low temperatures; keep the shoes at room temperature before your run to maintain optimal cushioning softness.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior impact absorption for comfort
  • Fluid gait cycle due to rocker geometry
  • Excellent for high-mileage recovery runs
  • Durable construction for daily use
  • Versatile for both running and walking

Cons

  • Not intended for lightweight racing speed
  • May feel bulky to minimalist shoe enthusiasts
  • Heavier than competitive tempo-focused trainers

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Proper care will ensure the longevity of your Glycerin Max 2 trainers.

  1. Break-in: While comfortable out of the box, perform a few short walks to allow the foam to adapt to your foot strike.
  2. Cleaning: Hand wash only using lukewarm water and a mild detergent. Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as heat can degrade the cushioning materials.
  3. Drying: Air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight to prevent material deformation.
  4. Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place to maintain the integrity of the midsole compound.
