FAQs
Who is the Brooks Glycerin Max 2 best suited for?
The Glycerin Max 2 is ideal for runners seeking maximum cushioning and comfort, particularly for long runs, recovery days, or for those who want to reduce impact on their joints. It's designed for adult runners, including women.
What is the main benefit of the DNA Tuned Midsole?
The DNA Tuned Midsole, infused with nitrogen, offers an exceptionally soft landing and a responsive toe-off, providing a smooth and energy-efficient transition while significantly reducing impact.
How does the GlideRoll Rocker Geometry work?
The GlideRoll Rocker Geometry is engineered to encourage a natural rolling motion from the heel strike to the toe-off. This feature helps you move forward more efficiently, conserving energy over longer distances.
Is this shoe suitable for trail running?
While the shoe can handle very light, groomed trails, it is primarily designed and optimized for road running. The outsole tread offers best traction on paved surfaces.
How do I clean my Glycerin Max 2 trainers?
Clean them using a mild soap and cold water with a soft brush or cloth. Always air dry them away from direct heat. Avoid machine washing.
What is the weight of the Brooks Glycerin Max 2?
The weight is approximately 316g for a Men's size 9. Women's sizes will be lighter.
What is the heel-to-toe drop on this shoe?
The Glycerin Max 2 has a heel-to-toe drop of 6mm, offering a balanced feel despite the high stack cushioning.
Troubleshooting
Uncomfortable fit or rubbing
Ensure the shoes are laced correctly, not too tight or too loose. Try different lacing techniques or adjust the tongue position. If persistent, consider if the size or width is appropriate for your foot.
Reduced cushioning effectiveness over time
While the foam is durable, cushioning can lessen with extensive mileage. Inspect the midsole for excessive compression or wear. Consider replacing the shoes after approximately 300-500 miles, depending on your running style and weight.
Traction issues on wet surfaces
The rubber outsole provides good grip, but wet road surfaces can be unpredictable. Ensure the outsole is clean and free from debris. Be cautious when running in very wet conditions, as with any road shoe.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: The Brooks Glycerin Max 2 requires no specific setup. Simply try them on and lace them up for an immediate comfortable fit. Ensure the laces are adjusted to provide a secure yet comfortable lockdown around your midfoot.
Compatibility: These trainers are optimized for road running surfaces. While they can handle light, well-groomed trails, their primary design and outsole tread are best suited for asphalt, concrete, and other hard, paved paths.
Care:
- Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt and debris with a dry brush or cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and cold water with a soft brush or cloth. Avoid machine washing or using harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials.
- Drying: Always air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures.
