Full details

The key benefit is an ultra-soft, energy-efficient ride that reduces impact. A potential caveat is the high stack height, which may not suit runners who prefer a more grounded feel.

FAQs
What is the main benefit of the Brooks Glycerin Max 2?
The main benefit is its maximum cushioning and ultra-soft ride, designed to protect joints and provide comfort during long runs and recovery days.
Who is this shoe best for?
This shoe is ideal for adult runners, particularly females, who want maximum cushioning, joint protection, and a smooth, energy-efficient running experience on road surfaces.
How do I clean my Glycerin Max 2 trainers?
Clean using a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid machine washing. Allow to air dry at room temperature away from direct heat.
What is the heel-to-toe drop?
The shoe has a heel-to-toe drop of 6mm.
Is this shoe suitable for trail running?
The Glycerin Max 2 is primarily designed for road running. The durable rubber outsole provides traction on roads, but it may not be ideal for technical trail terrain.
How does the cushioning work?
It features DNA Tuned Midsole with dual-sized nitrogen-infused foam cells for softer landings and springier toe-offs, offering a plush yet efficient ride.
What does 'High Stack Cushioning' mean?
High Stack Cushioning refers to the significant thickness of the midsole foam (45mm in the heel and 39mm in the forefoot), providing maximum protection from impact.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks. Try loosening the laces, especially around the midfoot, and re-lacing to a more comfortable tension. If discomfort persists, the shoe size or width may not be suitable for your foot.
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time
The midsole cushioning may naturally compress after significant mileage. While designed for durability, performance can decrease after 300-500 miles. Consider replacing the shoes if the cushioning feels significantly diminished.
Slipping on wet surfaces
The rubber outsole is designed for dependable traction, but like all road running shoes, performance may be reduced on extremely wet or slick surfaces. Run with caution in such conditions.

Care:
