FAQs
Who is the Brooks Glycerin Max 2 designed for?
The Brooks Glycerin Max 2 is designed for adult male runners of all levels, from casual joggers to experienced athletes, who prioritize maximum comfort and cushioning.
What is the main benefit of the DNA LOFT v3 cushioning?
The DNA LOFT v3 cushioning offers a lighter feel and superior softness compared to previous versions, providing enhanced shock absorption and a comfortable ride.
How do I clean my Glycerin Max 2 trainers?
Clean the shoes with a damp cloth and mild soap, then allow them to air dry naturally. Avoid machine washing or direct heat.
Are these shoes suitable for trail running?
These trainers are primarily designed for road running. While they may handle light gravel, they are not optimized for technical or rugged trail terrain.
What is the expected lifespan of the cushioning?
The cushioning is durable, but for optimal performance, it's generally recommended to replace running shoes after 300-500 miles (480-800 km) of use.
Does the mesh upper provide good ventilation?
Yes, the refreshed engineered mesh upper is designed for targeted support and promotes good airflow to keep your feet cool and dry during runs.
Can I use these shoes for recovery runs?
Absolutely. Their extra thick cushioning makes them ideal for recovery runs, as they provide a soft and forgiving feel that helps reduce impact on tired muscles and joints.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Try wearing them with your usual running socks. If discomfort persists, consider alternative lacing techniques or check if the fit is suitable for your foot shape.
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time
The DNA LOFT v3 cushioning is designed for longevity, but like all foams, it will eventually compress. This is a sign of normal wear. For best performance, consider replacing the shoes after 300-500 miles (480-800 km) of use, depending on your running style and surfaces.
Slipping on wet surfaces
While the outsole provides good traction, extremely wet or slick surfaces can challenge any shoe. Run with caution on wet roads and consider the conditions before your run.
Upper material feels restrictive
The engineered mesh is designed for a secure fit. If it feels too restrictive, ensure the laces are not overtightened. The material may also require a short break-in period.

Care:
To maintain the performance and longevity of your Brooks Glycerin Max 2:
- Cleaning: Gently clean the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a clothes dryer, as this can damage the materials.
- Insoles: Remove insoles for airing out after runs to prevent odor and moisture buildup.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
- Washing Machine: It is generally not recommended to machine wash running shoes, as it can degrade the adhesives and structural integrity. Hand washing is the preferred method.
