Product Information

Full details

The Brooks Glycerin Max 2 is designed for adult female runners seeking maximum cushioning for a soft, plush experience. Its key benefit is providing effortless transitions and zero distractions during runs. A potential consideration is that maximum cushioning may not be ideal for runners who prefer a more responsive or ground-feel sensation. This shoe features stacked cushioning, a GlideRoll™ Rocker for smooth heel-to-toe movement, and tuned cushioning for a personalized feel.

FAQs

Who is the Brooks Glycerin Max 2 best suited for?

The Brooks Glycerin Max 2 is best suited for adult female runners who prioritize maximum cushioning and a plush, soft feel. It's ideal for daily training, long runs, recovery runs, and for those who experience joint stress.

What is the main benefit of the GlideRoll™ Rocker?

The GlideRoll™ Rocker is designed to promote smoother transitions from heel strike to toe-off, making your stride feel more efficient and effortless.

How should I clean my Glycerin Max 2 trainers?

Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. For the interior, use a mild soap and water solution with a soft brush. Always air dry and avoid machine washing.

Is this shoe good for speed work?

While comfortable, the maximum cushioning might make it less ideal for very fast-paced speed work compared to more responsive, lower-profile shoes. It excels in comfort for steady-paced runs.

Can I use these shoes for everyday walking?

Yes, the ample cushioning provides excellent comfort for walking and standing for extended periods.

What is the difference between Glycerin Max 2 and other Brooks models?

The Glycerin Max 2 stands out with its emphasis on maximum stacked cushioning and the GlideRoll™ Rocker for enhanced transitions, offering a softer, more plush experience than models focused on responsiveness or a lower profile.

How do I ensure I have the right size?

Refer to Brooks' sizing guide and measure your foot. Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing.

Troubleshooting

Slightly stiff on first wear

The shoe may require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter runs or walks initially to allow the cushioning to adapt to your foot.

Loose fit even when laced tightly

Experiment with different lacing techniques, such as a runner's knot, to better secure the midfoot. Ensure you have selected the correct shoe size.

Reduced cushioning effect over time

The lifespan of cushioning can be affected by mileage and impact. Follow care instructions to preserve material integrity. If significant compression occurs, it may be time to consider replacement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional comfort due to maximum cushioning.
  • Promotes smooth and efficient stride mechanics.
  • Ideal for runners prioritizing comfort on long distances.
  • Reduces impact on joints.
  • Soft and plush feel underfoot.

Cons

  • May feel less responsive for runners seeking a firmer ride.

  • Maximum cushioning might not suit all running styles.
  • Potentially heavier than minimalist trainers.
  • Less ground feel compared to lower-profile shoes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Brooks Glycerin Max 2 comes ready to wear. Ensure you have the correct UK size for a comfortable fit. It is designed for running and requires no specific setup procedures.

Compatibility: This shoe is designed for road running. It is compatible with most athletic socks. Ensure the lacing system is adjusted to your preference for a secure fit.

Care: To maintain the performance and lifespan of your Glycerin Max 2 trainers:

  1. Cleaning: Gently wipe the exterior with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. For interior cleaning, use a mild soap and water solution with a soft brush. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing, as this can damage the materials.
  2. Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources or sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid extreme temperatures.
