Product Information
Full details
The Brooks Glycerin Max 2 is designed for adult male runners seeking premium comfort and enhanced cushioning, especially for long workouts and recovery runs. Its key benefit lies in the updated DNA LOFT v3 for superior lightness and extra-thick cushioning. A potential caveat for some users might be the reinforced sole, which could feel firmer than expected for those preferring an ultra-plush feel, though it adds significant durability.

FAQs
What is the main difference in the Glycerin Max 2 compared to previous models?
The Glycerin Max 2 features an updated DNA LOFT v3 for improved lightness and cushioning, along with a refreshed engineered mesh upper for better support and breathability.
Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?
Yes, the extra-thick cushioning and comfort-focused design make them an excellent choice for marathon training and race day.
Can I use these for trail running?
These trainers are primarily designed for road running. The outsole is optimized for pavement and hard surfaces, and may not provide adequate grip or durability on trails.
How do I clean my Brooks Glycerin Max 2 trainers?
Clean them with a mild soap and cool water using a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid machine washing. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat.
What is the expected lifespan of these trainers?
The lifespan varies based on usage, but typically running shoes provide optimal performance for 300-500 miles. The reinforced sole in the Glycerin Max 2 aims to extend durability.
Is the cushioning very soft, or is there some firmness?
The Glycerin Max 2 offers extra-thick cushioning for premium comfort, utilizing DNA LOFT v3. While generally plush, the reinforced sole provides a balanced feel with durability, which some may perceive as having a slight firmness compared to ultra-soft foams.
What kind of runner is this shoe best for?
This shoe is best for neutral runners seeking maximum cushioning and comfort, especially for long runs, recovery runs, and daily training.
Troubleshooting
Slightly firm feel on first wear
The DNA LOFT v3 cushioning may require a short break-in period. Go for a few shorter runs to allow the foam to adapt to your stride and foot.
Upper feels too snug
Ensure the laces are loosened appropriately before putting the shoes on. If the snugness persists and is uncomfortable, consider if this specific size and fit are right for your foot shape.
Reduced cushioning after extended use
While durable, cushioning does degrade over time. If you notice a significant loss of cushioning, it may be time to consider a new pair, typically after 300-500 miles of use depending on running style and surfaces.
