Product Information

Full details

The Brooks Glycerin Max 2 is designed for adult male runners seeking maximum comfort and joint protection during long runs and recovery days. Its key benefit is an ultra-soft, cushioned ride that minimizes impact while maintaining responsiveness. A potential consideration is its high stack height, which may feel different to runners accustomed to lower-profile shoes. This trainer features the softest cushioning in the Brooks lineup, an updated DNA LOFT v3 midsole for lightness and thickness, a breathable engineered mesh upper, and a GlideRoll Rocker Geometry for a smooth, rolling stride.

FAQs

What type of running is the Glycerin Max 2 best suited for?

The Glycerin Max 2 is best suited for long runs, recovery runs, and daily training where maximum cushioning and joint protection are desired.

How does the DNA LOFT v3 cushioning differ from previous versions?

DNA LOFT v3 offers greater lightness and extra thick cushioning compared to previous versions, providing a softer and more comfortable ride.

Is the high stack height suitable for all runners?

The high stack height (45mm heel/39mm forefoot) provides excellent impact protection, but runners accustomed to lower-profile shoes may need a short adjustment period to get used to the feel.

How should I clean my Brooks Glycerin Max 2 trainers?

Clean with a mild soap and cold water using a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid machine washing. Allow them to air dry naturally away from heat.

What is the purpose of the GlideRoll Rocker Geometry?

The GlideRoll Rocker Geometry is designed to encourage a natural, rolling motion from heel to toe, which helps to conserve energy and provide a smoother stride.

What is the weight of the Brooks Glycerin Max 2?

The weight is approximately 316g for a Men's size 9.

What is the heel-to-toe drop?

The shoe has a 6mm heel-to-toe drop.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable

Ensure the laces are not tied too tightly. Try adjusting the lacing pattern. Verify you have the correct size and width. If discomfort persists, they may not be the right fit for your foot shape.

Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time

The midsole cushioning is designed to last for many miles, but like all foam, it will eventually compress. If you notice a significant decrease in comfort and support, it may be time to consider replacing the shoes. Check the outsole for excessive wear as an indicator.

Slipping on wet surfaces

The rubber outsole provides traction, but performance can be reduced on very wet or slick surfaces. Run with caution in such conditions. Ensure the outsole is clean of debris.

Pros and Cons

  • Excellent for joint protection and reducing impact during long runs.
  • The rocker geometry promotes a smooth, efficient stride.
  • Breathable upper keeps feet comfortable.
  • Durable construction for extended use.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Brooks Glycerin Max 2 requires no specific setup. Simply ensure they fit correctly and are laced appropriately for your foot.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for road running. They are compatible with most running socks and standard athletic apparel.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After runs, remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and cold water with a soft cloth or sponge. Do not machine wash.
  2. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape during drying.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures.
