Brooks Women's Glycerin Max 2 Running Shoes

About This Item

    What Our Experts Are Saying:

    "If you’re someone who is constantly on your feet, the Glycerin Max 2 is the perfect shoe for you. I’m a retail worker who’s on my feet for 8-hour shifts and a mom, who, after work, takes her son to karate or does grocery shopping and may juggle many errands after work. When I tried on the Glycerin Max 2 it felt so soft and I felt like this shoe was made specifically for me. It’s a super plush shoe. The cushioning comes from nitrogen-infused foam that’s designed with extra softness in the heel and slightly firmer support in the front. The cushioning does a great job of taking pressure off your knees, heels and lower back. The heel-to-toe drop is 6mm which takes pressure off your calves. It feels natural for walking. Overall this is a great shoe to have in your closet. This is a shoe you can easily forget that you’re wearing it because it feels so comfortable." - Narda, Footwear Lead at DICK'S Sporting Goods Collegeville, PA

Great Shoe With Extra Cushion

I have been looking for a shoe with enough cushion for long runs for the ball of my feet but also helps with my Achilles heal pain. This shoe does both. The rocking motion of the shoe allows my foot to shift quickly forward without a lot of pressure being absorbed by my Achilles and the increased cushion keeps the ball of my feet feeling great! I sized up a half size because the toe box isn’t as wide as I like.

Favorite

These shoes feel amazing on my feet! This is my 3rd pair of Glycerin Max. Every time I try to go to a different shoe, I find my way back to them. The extra cushion helps with the long miles and they have just enough stability that my ankles stay aligned. Best shoe I’ve found so far!

My Favorite Shoes

This is my second pair of glycerin max’s and they are my go-to for long runs and races

Their Support And Comfort

I absolutely love my new Glycerin Max 2. I wear them for walking and doing anything. I have a lot of problems with my feet my Glycerin Max 2 provides me with the comfort and support I need. My Podiatrist recommended Brooks Adrenaline then the Glycerin max 2. They work so good for me that I bought my husband and daughter a pair.

The Best

I absolutely love these running shoes. They're so comfortable and responsive, it's like you're running on clouds- I used to go back and forth with the Hoka Bondi, but the Glycerin Max 2 are a big step up from them. These are my 2nd pair. They're run a bit small so order half size up.

Buy Them!

This is my second pair of the Glycerin Max. Great neutral shoes, comfy for walking and running, and the extra cushion feels so great for those long runs! These fit TTS to SLIGHTLY small, but I size up .5-1 size for running. If in between, go up! I had mg feet sized and could comfortably wear a size 7. First pair I ordered 7.5, while they fit perfect, when on longer runs & training for races, my toes hit the end. Ended up ordering an 8 this time. They are slightly big (not too big) and they’re perfect for all my runs. So if you’re walking or everyday wear, normal size to .5 size bigger. If running, possibly consider .5-1 size bigger. I truly enjoy these shoes!!

Bring Back The Original Design

The original Glycerin Max were my favorite running shoes I’ve ever had. I had no pain, was able to get back into long distance running. When the Glycerin Max 2 came out, it was perfect timing as my originals were on their last leg - however, this new pair is nothing like the originals. The support and cushion is gone, I’m fighting for miles in them, and the pain is back. I unfortunately had to return and find an old pair of originals on Depep. I would not waste your money on the 2. PLEASE bring back the old design! I would repurchase those for life!

Long Distance Running Shoe

This is the best long distance running shoe I have found. I’m rehabbing a soft tissue injury and ran the 2026 Peachtree Road Race with no pain and plan on buying the next edition. I absolve the Glycerin Max!!!

My Sole Shoe

I’m super happy with the shoe! I only have it 4 bc I seem to have a bruised toe so I’m not sure it’s the toe box or me but haven’t had it before. I do love the heel to toe lift and the rocker toe! Will continue to buy these!
