FAQs

Who is the Brooks Glycerin Max 2 designed for?

The Glycerin Max 2 is designed for adult male runners seeking maximum cushioning and comfort, particularly those who want to protect their joints during long runs or recovery runs.

What is the main benefit of the DNA Tuned Midsole?

The DNA Tuned Midsole uses dual-sized nitrogen-infused foam cells to provide exceptionally soft landings and responsive energy return, reducing impact on the body.

How does the GlideRoll Rocker Geometry help my run?

The GlideRoll Rocker Geometry encourages a natural, rolling motion from heel to toe, which helps conserve energy and promotes smoother, more efficient strides.

Can I use these shoes for racing?

While they offer comfort and efficiency, their primary design is for maximum cushioning and protection, not for the minimalist, lightweight feel typically preferred for competitive racing. They are excellent for training and recovery.

How should I clean my Glycerin Max 2 trainers?

Clean them using a soft brush or damp cloth to remove dirt. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents. Allow them to air dry naturally.

What is the drop of the Glycerin Max 2?

The shoe has a balanced 6mm drop, with 45mm cushioning in the heel and 39mm in the forefoot.

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The Triple Jacquard Air Mesh Upper is designed to adapt to your stride. While not specifically marketed as wide, the adaptive nature of the upper may provide a comfortable fit for some runners needing a bit more room, though a dedicated wide model would be best if available and needed.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too soft or lack responsiveness

This is expected due to the maximum cushioning design. The DNA Tuned Midsole prioritizes softness and impact absorption. If a firmer feel is preferred, consider a different model.

Rocker geometry feels awkward during walking

The GlideRoll Rocker is optimized for the running gait. It may feel less natural during walking. Try adjusting your stride slightly or focus on its benefits during your runs.

Upper feels too warm

While the Triple Jacquard Air Mesh is breathable, individual preferences vary. Ensure socks are also moisture-wicking. Consider wearing them in cooler conditions if warmth is a significant concern.

Traction is insufficient on wet surfaces

The rubber outsole is designed for road surfaces. Traction on very wet or slick surfaces may be reduced. Use caution in such conditions and consider alternative footwear if needed.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional cushioning for joint protection and comfort
  • Smooth, efficient transitions due to rocker geometry
  • Breathable and adaptive upper for a comfortable fit
  • Durable construction for long-lasting wear
  • Ideal for recovery runs and long-distance efforts

Cons

  • High stack height may feel less stable for very quick movements
  • May be too soft for runners preferring a firmer, more responsive feel
  • Rocker geometry might require a slight adjustment period for some runners

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Brooks Glycerin Max 2 requires no specific setup. Simply ensure the laces are adjusted to your preferred snugness for a secure fit. The traditional lacing system allows for customization across the midfoot.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for road running. They are compatible with most standard athletic socks. While they offer good traction, they are not intended for aggressive trail running or off-road conditions where specialized grip is required.

Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your Brooks Glycerin Max 2 trainers:

  1. Cleaning: After runs, use a soft brush or damp cloth to remove surface dirt and debris from the upper and outsole. Avoid machine washing or using harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials.
  2. Drying: If the shoes become wet, allow them 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 warp the shape and materials.
  3. Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
  4. Rotation: For maximum lifespan and to allow the cushioning to recover, consider rotating your Glycerin Max 2 with another pair of running shoes if you run frequently.
