Product Information

Full details

The Brooks Glycerin Max 2 Trainers are designed for adult runners and walkers seeking maximum cushioning for daily training, recovery runs, and long-distance efforts. These shoes provide a soft, plush ride that excels at absorbing impact while facilitating smooth forward momentum through specialized rocker geometry. While the shoe offers exceptional comfort and energy return, potential users should note that the high-stack design and 6mm drop may feel significantly different from low-profile or racing-oriented footwear.

FAQs

Are these shoes good for wide feet?

The Brooks Glycerin Max 2 features a standard fit. If you typically require a wider shoe, verify if a specific wide-width variant is available for your size.

Can I use these for speed training?

While capable of various paces, these are primarily 'max cushion' shoes designed for comfort and recovery rather than high-speed intervals.

What is the primary benefit of the 6mm drop?

The 6mm drop provides a balanced platform that is comfortable for both heel-strikers and midfoot-strikers, encouraging a smoother transition.

How often should I replace these trainers?

Generally, running shoes lose their structural integrity and cushioning responsiveness between 300 to 500 miles, depending on the surface and your body weight.

Are these suitable for trail running?

The Glycerin Max 2 is optimized for road and treadmill surfaces. The high stack height may feel unstable on rocky or technical trail surfaces.

Does the upper material feel breathable?

Yes, the engineered upper is designed for high airflow to keep your feet comfortable even during longer efforts.

Troubleshooting

Foot slipping inside the shoe during runs

Try using the extra eyelet at the top of the lacing system for a secure 'runner's loop' lock.

Visible dirt accumulation on the upper mesh

Use a soft-bristled brush to knock off dry mud or debris; spot clean with a damp cloth if necessary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptionally soft cushioning perfect for recovery days
  • GlideRoll technology promotes efficient gait transitions
  • Durable enough for high-volume training and walking
  • Environmentally conscious material usage in the upper

Cons

  • Higher stack height may feel less stable on uneven technical trails
  • Not intended for fast-paced speed work or racing
  • Weight of 11.3oz may be heavier than performance-oriented trainers

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Glycerin Max 2 trainers, avoid putting them in the washing machine or dryer, as heat can degrade the cushioning foam and adhesive. Instead, clean the exterior with a soft brush and mild soap, letting them air dry away from direct sunlight. When fitting, ensure you have about a thumb’s width of space at the front of the shoe to account for foot swelling during long runs. These trainers are fully compatible with orthotic inserts if your specific arch support needs change over time.
