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

Best Recovery Shoes

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Really good shoes to wear for a recovery run. I would love to use them for my long runs however they’re not very breathable and my feet are drenched with SWFL weather. Overall great shoes for slower paces and recovery runs.

Awesome Shoes

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Awesome shoes! The best of the Brooks lot. Hopefully it retains its structure and bounciness for a long time. It really helps to cushion and propel forward while walking and running. Surprisingly it has good room for the toe box. It would have been better if it was waterproof and came in leather also! The tuned foam does the trick for now. Good job Brooks. I’ve been the unofficial brand ambassador for these to our hospital colleagues…

Best Shoe I've Worn

Best shoe I've ever worn, super comfortable. I use them mainly for walking and they have dropped my mile time by 4 minutes!

Narrow Forefoot

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Was very disappointed in these based on previous Brooks experiences. Very narrow across the forefoot and color (orange) was much more pale and pastel than appears online

Great So Far

Son picked these up to begin his 5k journey and to prepare for a relay marathon. He definitely likes their support and cushion.

Walking On A Cloud

Foot Dr suggested Beooks Glycerin or Hoka Clifton 10 - I bought both. Hoka Clifton 10 is wide 2E and has less room for the heavily customized (thick) Inserts required for my foot issues. Its a stylish shoe with a stable comfortable ride, but would not call it "plush". Glycerin Max is amazing. Lots of room for the inserts, and the standard width was sufficient for my extra wide feet. The style is ok but the ride... wow the ride... like walking on a cloud!

Super heavy Bottom curve feels like you’re constantly being pushed forward. Not a fan at all.

Awsome Running Shoes

Good Shoe With No Issues.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I walk or run an average of 5-6 miles a day and have held up for a while with no issues and have retained their cushioning and tread: would recommend.

Keep Rolling With My Shoes

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Solid solid solid. Just perfect for my runs and also power walks. Comfortable, feels like you're on clouds.

Perfect Run

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Solid shoes. Amazing comfort so satisfying to run and or walk. Many compliments.

Doesnt Seem Much Different From The Glycerin Max 1

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Aesthetically, I really like this shoe, but I was not super impressed by the feeling on my first few runs. I got blistered in my arch on the first two runs (and I have nice socks), so I went and added some insoles to make them fit a little better. I also felt like my lateral hip was a little aggravated after wearing. Not sure if that was because I had been running in a less cushioned shoe or what. Was going to run in my next half-marathon in them, but now I am not sure. I have previously been in the Hyperion Max 2 & 3 and absolutely loved them.
