Product Information

Full details

The Brooks Glycerin Max 2 is designed for neutral runners who prioritize ultra-soft cushioning and a smooth, assisted transition during their daily road training. Featuring advanced DNA Tuned foam and a specialized rocker geometry, these trainers provide excellent impact protection for long-distance efforts, though the high-stack design may feel slightly less stable for runners who prefer a more grounded, responsive feel on uneven terrain.

FAQs

Is the Glycerin Max 2 good for flat feet?

This model is designed for neutral runners. If you require arch support or stability features for flat feet, you may need an orthotic insert or a dedicated stability shoe.

Can I use these for marathon training?

Yes, the high level of cushioning makes them an excellent choice for the high-mileage requirements of marathon training.

How do I know if I have a neutral stride?

A neutral stride means your foot does not excessively roll inward (overpronation) or outward (supination). Gait analysis at a professional running store is the best way to confirm this.

What is the primary benefit of the 6mm drop?

A 6mm drop provides a moderate offset that helps reduce strain on the Achilles and calves while maintaining a stable, cushioned platform.

Are these shoes waterproof?

No, the Glycerin Max 2 uses breathable materials intended for comfort and airflow, and they are not waterproof.

Troubleshooting

Feeling instability on sharp turns

The high stack height is designed for forward momentum; adjust speed during cornering to maintain contact patch efficiency.

Foam feels firmer than expected after storage

Runners often find foam feels stiffer in cold temperatures. Allow the shoes to reach room temperature before use to restore optimal foam elasticity.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior impact protection during long runs
  • Extremely smooth transitions through the gait cycle
  • High-quality foam that maintains comfort over time
  • Lightweight construction despite the maximalist aesthetic

Cons

  • Not intended for stability-focused runners
  • Higher stack height may reduce ground feel
  • Limited for use on technical or off-road trails

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Glycerin Max 2 trainers, rotate them with another pair of shoes to allow the foam to fully decompress between runs. For cleaning, remove surface dirt with a soft-bristled brush after use. If deeper cleaning is required, hand-wash using mild soap and cold water—avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as high heat can degrade the integrity of the cushioning foam. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators. Because these are built for a neutral stride, they are best suited for runners who do not require medical-grade stability interventions.
