Product Information

Full details

The Brooks Glycerin Max 2 trainers are designed for adult runners and active individuals seeking premium, high-volume cushioning for daily training, long-distance runs, or comfortable casual walking. These trainers excel at providing a soft, supportive platform with effortless transitions, though users who prefer a highly responsive, minimal-feel racing flat may find the plush ride slightly too bulky for speed-focused workouts.

FAQs

Is this shoe suitable for flat feet?

The Glycerin Max 2 provides a balanced, neutral platform. While it offers excellent cushioning, individuals requiring specific stability support should check if it meets their personal arch needs.

What is the weight of the shoe?

The Brooks Glycerin Max 2 weighs approximately 289.2g per shoe.

Can I use these for gym workouts?

These trainers are primarily designed for running and walking. For heavy weightlifting, you may prefer a flatter, less cushioned shoe for better ground stability.

What is the midsole drop?

The Glycerin Max 2 features a 6mm drop.

How do I maintain the cushioning properties?

Avoid using them for non-running activities and ensure they are dry before every use to maintain the structural integrity of the midsole foam.

Troubleshooting

Feeling pressure on the top of the foot

Try adjusting the lacing pattern to a 'window lacing' or 'parallel' style to alleviate pressure points across the bridge.

Slipping in the heel

Use a runner’s knot (the loop lacing lock) to secure the heel more firmly against the back of the shoe.

Visible wear on outsole tread

This is normal for high-mileage runners; if the wear patterns become uneven, consider visiting a running store for a gait analysis to check for overpronation.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptionally soft and plush cushioning
  • Smooth heel-to-toe transitions provided by GlideRoll Rocker
  • Versatile enough for both long runs and daily casual use
  • Lightweight build prevents heavy foot fatigue

Cons

  • May feel too plush for speed-work or interval training
  • Limited ground feedback due to high-stack cushioning
  • Not intended for technical trail running

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Brooks Glycerin Max 2 trainers, avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can degrade the cushioning foams and adhesives.

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush or damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains, use mild soap mixed with water.
  2. Drying: Air dry only in a well-ventilated space away from direct heat sources like radiators or prolonged sunlight.
  3. Fit: Ensure you are wearing your correct size (UK 8.5 for this variant) to maintain the intended support structure of the heel counter and midfoot wrap.
  4. Rotation: To extend the life of the midsole, try alternating your training shoes if you run every day, giving the cushioning 24-48 hours to recover its shape.
