Product Information
Full details
The Brooks Glycerin Max 2 trainers are designed for adult male runners seeking maximum plush cushioning for daily mileage, long-distance training, and recovery sessions. These trainers provide an exceptionally soft underfoot experience coupled with advanced rocker geometry to promote efficiency, though their highly cushioned build may feel less responsive to runners who prefer a firm, ground-feel sensation.

FAQs
Are the Glycerin Max 2 shoes suitable for racing?
While they offer great comfort, they are specifically engineered for daily training and recovery rather than high-speed racing where a firmer, more propulsive shoe might be preferred.
How long should these trainers last?
Typically, these trainers provide optimal cushioning for 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and body weight.
Does this shoe provide stability for overpronation?
The Glycerin Max 2 features a supportive design, but it is primarily categorized as a neutral trainer. Consult a gait analysis professional if you require specific arch support.
How do I clean my Brooks trainers?
Hand wash with mild soap and a soft brush. Never put them in the washing machine or dryer, as the heat and agitation will degrade the foam technology.
What is the benefit of the 6mm drop?
The 6mm drop encourages a more natural midfoot landing for many runners while still offering enough heel protection for those who strike further back.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight after long runs
Feet naturally swell during exercise; try loosening the laces at the midfoot before starting your run or ensure you are sized correctly.
Excessive wear on the outsole
Check your running gait to see if you have a heavy heel strike or uneven pronation, and rotate with other shoes to allow for even wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Brooks Glycerin Max 2 trainers, it is recommended to allow the foam to decompress for at least 24 hours between runs. If the shoes become wet or muddy, remove the insoles and stuff the shoes with newspaper to absorb moisture in a well-ventilated area—avoid direct heat sources like radiators, which can damage the midsole foam. For sizing, ensure you have approximately a thumb's width of space at the front of the toe box to account for foot swelling during long sessions.
