Product Information
Full details
The Brooks Glycerin Max 2 is designed for adult male runners seeking maximum cushioning and a smooth, efficient ride to protect joints and enhance comfort on long runs. While it offers an exceptionally plush feel, its high stack height might not be ideal for runners preferring a more responsive, ground-feel experience. Key features include a breathable mesh upper, a nitrogen-infused DNA Tuned midsole for soft landings and springy takeoffs, and a GlideRoll Rocker Geometry for effortless transitions.

FAQs
Who is the Brooks Glycerin Max 2 best suited for?
It's ideal for runners seeking maximum cushioning for joint protection, particularly for long runs, recovery runs, and daily training. It's also a good choice for heavier runners.
How does the cushioning compare to other Brooks shoes?
The Glycerin Max 2 offers the softest ride in the Brooks line-up due to its high stack height and nitrogen-infused DNA Tuned foam.
What is the heel-to-toe drop?
The shoe has a 6mm heel-to-toe drop.
Is this shoe good for speed work or racing?
While comfortable, the high stack cushioning and rocker geometry are optimized for comfort and efficiency over longer distances, rather than the ground feel and responsiveness typically preferred for fast-paced speed work or racing.
How do I clean my Glycerin Max 2 shoes?
Clean the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing. Allow shoes to air dry completely away from direct heat.
What is the typical lifespan of these shoes?
With proper care and for their intended use (road running), the Glycerin Max 2 typically lasts between 300-500 miles before the cushioning and support begin to significantly diminish.
Can I use these shoes on trails?
They are primarily designed for road surfaces. While the durable outsole can handle some light, hard-packed trails, they are not suited for technical or muddy trail conditions.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing system. For tightness, loosen the laces, especially around the midfoot. For looseness, tighten the laces, ensuring even pressure. Refer to lacing guides for specific techniques if needed.
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time
While the DNA Tuned midsole is durable, its peak performance may diminish after extensive mileage (typically 300-500 miles). Consider replacing the shoes if cushioning feels significantly reduced.
Slipping on wet surfaces
The rubber outsole provides traction, but performance on very wet or slick surfaces can be limited. Exercise caution in such conditions. Ensure the outsole is free of debris.
