Product Information

Full details

The Brooks Glycerin Max 2 trainers are designed for adult female runners seeking premium comfort and support, especially for long workouts and recovery runs. The key benefit is the enhanced cushioning provided by updated DNA LOFT v3, offering a lighter and softer feel underfoot. A potential caveat is that the extra thick cushioning might feel too plush for runners who prefer a firmer, more responsive ride.

FAQs

What makes the DNA LOFT v3 cushioning special?

DNA LOFT v3 is an updated nitrogen-infused foam that provides our softest, lightest, and most durable cushioning yet, offering superior comfort and responsiveness.

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The standard width is designed to accommodate most foot types. While the engineered mesh offers some flexibility, individuals with significantly wide feet may benefit from checking for wider width options if available.

How do the Glycerin Max 2 compare to other Brooks models?

The Glycerin Max 2 offers maximum cushioning within the Brooks lineup, prioritizing plush comfort and impact protection, making them ideal for long runs and recovery. Models like the Ghost or Adrenaline GTS offer different levels of cushioning and support.

Can I use these for gym workouts or cross-training?

While comfortable for light gym activities, the Glycerin Max 2 are optimized for running. For more dynamic training that involves lateral movements or heavy lifting, a shoe with more stability and a flatter sole might be more appropriate.

How often should I replace my Brooks Glycerin Max 2 trainers?

Most runners find that the cushioning and support of their trainers begin to degrade after approximately 300-500 miles (500-800 kilometers) of use, depending on running style and terrain.

What is the primary use case for these trainers?

Their primary use case is for long-distance road running, daily training, and active recovery runs, where maximum cushioning and comfort are desired to reduce impact and fatigue.

Troubleshooting

Unusual noise during run

Check for any debris stuck in the outsole tread or ensure laces are tied properly. If the noise persists, it may be due to normal break-in or wear.

Slightly too tight fit

Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring an even distribution of pressure. If still uncomfortable, consider trying a half-size up.

Reduced cushioning effect over time

While DNA LOFT v3 is durable, cushioning can naturally decrease with extensive mileage. For optimal performance, consider replacing trainers after 300-500 miles.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have the correct UK size for a comfortable fit.

Compatibility: Designed for road running and general fitness activities. Not recommended for rugged trail running due to the cushioning and sole design.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and cool water with a damp cloth. Avoid machine washing or drying.
  2. Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
