Brooks Men's Glycerin Max 2 Running Shoes

About This Item

    What Our Experts Are Saying:

    "I love running, I just hate the thought of running sometimes. Thinking about the shoes I’m going to wear gets me back out on the road easily, especially the Brooks Glycerin Max 2. The mega stacked DNA Tuned midsole technology is a stellar spec making the heel ultra soft and the forefoot nice and bouncy. Concrete is no longer beating up my body. It honestly feels like I’m cheating running in these shoes effortlessly gliding through each stride. It’s to the point where I have been running longer with them even on my recovery days! My Glycerin Max 2’s are perfect for me and are a permanent shoe in my rotation." - Kojo, Footwear Sales Lead at DICK'S House of Sport Charlottesville, VA

The Original Max Was Way More Confy

Loved the Max and been running on them since they came out and the most comfortable running shoe I ever tried but the Max 2 is so different and the comfy feel is gone I am praying the Max 3 gets back to the original or I guess I will try another brand

Not For Everyone

Cushy, high, although unstable feeling. Too bulky for my style. The tapering on forefoot is somewhat awkward compared to Ghost Max 3. No bounce, plush feel when stepping, roomy. Does feel quite warm due to extra dorsal foot padding. If you are male, this style may seem more feminine for you (no offense, this is merely about styling). Finally, wearing for just 24 hours, you will notice crease on the sidewalls of the cushion. I have compared this to Ghost Max 3, which was a clear winner for me as it provides perfect balance of comfort, room, cool (temp), styling (although could use better netting design like the Ghost 17/18), stride and not as bulky either.

Most Comfortable Shoes Ever

These are the most comfortable running shoes I have ever had. As a longtime 5k and mile runner returning from a longtime sabbatical from the sport, I wanted shoes that would help me train without putting excessive strain on my ankles or calves. These are springy so that I can run longer without exhaustion and energized for the next day’s run. The curled toe on the front sole helps me continue my stride, and my entire foot feels supported by the max cushioning as well.

The Best Shoes For Any Feet.

Amazing shoes it's like I'm running on clouds. The level of comfort in these shoes makes it so much easier to continue running. I don't know how they can make these shoes any better.

Comfortable Shoes

Bought this for my husband for walking with a weighted vest. It supports his feet and doesn't hurt.

Glycerin Max 2

I purchased a pair of Glycerin Max 2’s less than a month ago and immediately doubled back for a second pair before Brooks stops selling them. I saw the Max 3’s are out, but they don’t look nearly as comfortable as the Max 2’s. The Max 2’s beat out Hoka and ASICS for me. I walk 200–250 miles a month, and since switching to these, my foot pain has completely disappeared. It genuinely feels like I’m walking on a cloud. I’m looking forward to receiving my second pair, and I hope to grab another before they’re discontinued.

The Glycerin Max 2 Lost Its Ultra Cushion Feel. Now Just Feels Like Another Running Shoe

Really disappointing. The Glycerin series is known for their cushion and I have owned 4 different Glycerin series over the last few years and loved all of them. The Glycerin Max is my all time favorite running shoe and I was excited to run in the Glycerin Max 2. Unfortunately, the Glycerin Max 2 is firm like all the other shoes and no longer comfortable for recovery runs or long easy runs. The Glycerin Max 2 lost its unique cushion feel and not worth the money, really disappointing! I am currently looking at other brands to fill that void of an ultra cushioned running shoe.

Manufacturing Fault

I have a big problem with the left foot. It's like im walking on the inside of my ankle. Bought one before this and one after this is the only one I'm this problem with...looks like something went during manufacturing. Please let me know if something can be done about it.

Fantastic Long Run Shoe

I enjoy it a lot for longer runs, 8 miles and up. The max cushion is very helpful for my joints and it absorbs the shock of each stride well.

Still Very Good

Not quite as plush as the OG Glycerin Max but still very good in its own right. Comfortable and I like the looks.
