Product Information
Full details
The Brooks Glycerin Max 2 trainers are designed for adult male runners seeking exceptional comfort and cushioning for long workouts and recovery runs. Their key benefit lies in the updated DNA LOFT v3 and extra thick cushioning, providing a plush feel with every stride. A potential caveat is that the reinforced sole, while durable, might offer a slightly firmer feel for those accustomed to extremely soft shoes.

FAQs
What is the main benefit of the DNA LOFT v3 cushioning?
The DNA LOFT v3 cushioning is designed to be lighter and softer, providing enhanced shock absorption and a more comfortable running experience.
Are these shoes suitable for trail running?
The Glycerin Max 2 are primarily designed for road running. While they can handle well-maintained trails, they may not offer the rugged traction or protection needed for technical off-road terrain.
How often should I replace my Brooks Glycerin Max 2 trainers?
It is generally recommended to replace running shoes every 300-500 miles, or when you notice a significant decrease in cushioning and support, or signs of wear on the outsole.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash your Brooks Glycerin Max 2 trainers. Cleaning with a damp cloth and air drying is the preferred method to preserve the materials and structure.
What is the difference between Glycerin and Glycerin Max?
The Glycerin Max line typically features more substantial cushioning, often with a thicker stack height, prioritizing maximum comfort and impact absorption compared to the standard Glycerin models.
Do these trainers offer good arch support?
The Glycerin Max 2 are designed to provide a neutral support system. They offer ample cushioning that can feel supportive, but they are not specifically designed for overpronation or significant arch support needs.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing to your preference. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. If the issue persists, consider trying a different lacing technique or consult Brooks sizing guides.
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time
This is normal wear and tear. For prolonged performance, consider replacing the shoes after significant mileage (typically 300-500 miles), depending on usage and terrain.
Discomfort or blisters during runs
Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks. Break in the shoes gradually with shorter runs before attempting long distances. Check for any foreign objects inside the shoe.
Upper material shows signs of wear
Avoid excessive abrasion against rough surfaces. Clean gently as per care instructions. Minor wear is normal with regular use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: These trainers are designed primarily for running on roads and well-maintained trails. They are compatible with most standard running socks. While they offer excellent cushioning, they are not specialized for activities like court sports or heavy weightlifting.
Care:
- Cleaning: Gently clean the exterior with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
- Insoles: If removable, take out the insoles and hand wash them separately with mild soap and water, then air dry.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
