FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the Brooks Glycerin Max 2?
The primary benefit is maximum cushioning for an ultra-soft ride, reducing impact on your joints and providing comfort for long runs and recovery.
Who is this shoe best suited for?
It's best for runners who prioritize comfort and joint protection, especially for long distances, recovery runs, or daily training. It's also suitable for heavier runners or those who prefer a plush feel.
How does the GlideRoll Rocker Geometry work?
The rocker geometry is designed to encourage a natural rolling motion from heel to toe, making your stride smoother and more energy-efficient, especially at a comfortable pace.
Can I use these shoes for trail running?
These shoes are designed primarily for road running. While they may handle very light, smooth trails, they lack the aggressive tread and protection needed for technical off-road terrain.
What is the difference between the Glycerin Max 2 and other Glycerin models?
The Glycerin Max 2 features a higher stack of DNA Tuned cushioning and the GlideRoll rocker geometry for an even softer and smoother experience compared to standard Glycerin models.
How do I clean my Glycerin Max 2 shoes?
Spot clean the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Do not machine wash or dry.
What is the weight of the Brooks Glycerin Max 2?
The weight is approximately 316g for a Men's size 9.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Loosen the traditional lacing system and re-tie, ensuring not to overtighten. Consider if the size is correct. If a different size is needed, consult the retailer.
Reduced cushioning feel over time.
The midsole foam may compress slightly with use. If the cushioning feels significantly diminished, it might be time to consider replacing the shoes, typically after 300-500 miles of running.
Slipping on wet surfaces.
The rubber outsole provides dependable traction on dry and most wet roads. However, extremely slick surfaces may reduce grip. Exercise caution in such conditions.
Upper material feels warm.
The Triple Jacquard Air Mesh is designed for breathability. If you experience excessive heat, ensure socks are also breathable. The shoe is performing as intended for airflow.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Brooks Glycerin Max 2 requires no specific setup. Simply ensure you have the correct size for a comfortable fit. The traditional lacing system allows for a personalized midfoot lockdown.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed primarily for road running surfaces. While they can handle light, well-maintained paths, they are not intended for technical trails.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Spot clean the exterior with a mild soap and water solution. Use a soft brush or cloth to gently remove dirt. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
- Drying: Allow shoes 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 damage the materials.
- Lining: If the insoles are removable, take them out and wash them separately by hand. Ensure they are completely dry before reinserting.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
