Product Information
Full details
The Brooks Glycerin Max 2 is a high-performance, neutral trainer specifically engineered for adult male runners who prioritize ultra-soft cushioning and smooth transitions during their daily training sessions. By utilizing advanced DNA Tuned foam and a specialized rocker geometry, these shoes offer exceptional impact protection on road surfaces, though runners seeking a ground-feel or minimalist experience may find the maximalist stack height too disconnected for their preferences.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon training?
Yes, the Glycerin Max 2 is designed specifically for long-distance road training, offering the necessary cushioning to support high mileage.
What is the weight of these trainers?
The Brooks Glycerin Max 2 weighs approximately 289.2 grams.
Can I use these for trail running?
These are optimized for road surfaces. While they can handle light gravel paths, they lack the aggressive lugs and lateral stability required for technical trails.
What is the heel-to-toe drop?
The shoe features a 6mm drop, which is designed to provide a balance between heel and forefoot cushioning.
How often should I replace these shoes?
Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and body weight.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of slipping or heel lift
Try a 'runner's loop' or 'heel lock' lacing technique to secure the ankle area more effectively.
Outer sole shows uneven wear
Consult a gait analysis professional to confirm if your pronation type aligns with neutral shoes; you may require an insert.
Foam feeling compressed after a short period
Ensure you are allowing at least 24 hours between runs for the foam to rebound to its original state.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Superior impact absorption from DNA Tuned foam
- Extremely smooth transitions via the rocker profile
- Lightweight build minimizes leg fatigue on long runs
- Consistent and reliable performance on paved road surfaces
Cons
- Maximalist cushioning may lack the ground feel preferred by minimalist runners
- Limited to neutral pronation types
- May require an adjustment period for those moving from low-stack shoes
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Brooks Glycerin Max 2, ensure a proper fit during your initial break-in period. If you wear custom orthotics, ensure they are compatible with the shoe's internal geometry before removing the factory sock liner.
Care Instructions:
- Hand wash using mild soap and a soft brush.
- Avoid using a washing machine or dryer, as heat can degrade the foam's integrity and the shoe's adhesives.
- Air dry in a cool, shaded area away from direct sunlight.
- Rotate your shoes with another pair to allow the foam to decompress fully between sessions.
