Product Information
Full details
The Brooks Glycerin Max 2 trainers are designed for adult male runners seeking maximum cushioning and comfort, particularly for long runs and recovery. Its key benefit is the plush, responsive ride provided by updated DNA LOFT v3 cushioning. A potential consideration is its emphasis on cushioning, which might feel less agile for runners preferring a firmer, more responsive feel for speedwork.

FAQs
Are these shoes good for wide feet?
The engineered mesh upper offers some adaptability. While not specifically a wide-fit shoe, many users find the fit accommodating. For confirmed wide feet, checking for specific wide-width versions or trying them on is recommended.
How do the Glycerin Max 2 compare to the regular Glycerin?
The Glycerin Max 2 features a thicker, more prominent stack of DNA LOFT v3 cushioning for an even plusher, more maximalist feel compared to the standard Glycerin, which offers a balanced cushioning experience.
Can I use these for trail running?
These trainers are primarily designed for road running and hard surfaces. The outsole may not provide sufficient grip or durability for technical trail conditions.
What is the expected lifespan of these trainers?
With proper care and regular use for running, most users can expect to get 300-500 miles out of the Brooks Glycerin Max 2 before the cushioning significantly degrades.
How should I clean the white mesh upper?
For white mesh, use a mild soap and water solution with a soft brush or cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Rinse thoroughly and air dry.
Is this shoe suitable for pronation support?
The Glycerin Max 2 is a neutral running shoe, meaning it is designed for runners with a neutral foot strike and does not offer specific pronation control features.
Troubleshooting
Slightly stiff on first wear
The trainers may need a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter distances initially and gradually increase mileage as they adapt to your foot.
Uneven wear on the sole
Ensure you are using the correct size and the shoes are tied properly. Uneven wear can sometimes indicate gait issues; consult a running specialist if concerned.
Mesh upper feels too warm
Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking socks. The engineered mesh is designed for breathability, but sock choice can impact perceived warmth.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Exceptional cushioning for superior comfort on long runs.
- Lightweight feel despite the thick cushioning thanks to DNA LOFT v3.
- Breathable and supportive engineered mesh upper.
- Durable construction for extended use.
- Aids in recovery by reducing impact stress.
Cons
- May feel too soft for runners who prefer a firmer, more responsive shoe for tempo runs.
- The focus on maximum cushioning might not be ideal for explosive speed training.
- Larger size (UK 14) may have limited availability in certain colorways.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers require no specific setup. They are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort and performance.
Compatibility: The Brooks Glycerin Max 2 are designed for road running and general athletic use. They are compatible with most standard athletic socks.
Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your trainers:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to remove dirt and debris from the upper and sole. Avoid machine washing or drying.
- Drying: If trainers become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and retain shape.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat when not in use.
