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

Glycerin 2 For Hallux Rigid And Metatarsalgia

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great cushion. Works well with metatarsalgia and hallux rigidus. Accommodate off the shelf or custom orthotics well.

Awesome

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the cushion feels good on my 73 year old knees

Rear Tongue Frustrations

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The shoe is comfortable but the heel tongue is the most annoying thing built on a shoe I've owned. If you like to slip on shoes then these shoes aren't for you! You have to meticulously hold that back tongue back otherwise it gets smooshed and you have to spend 2 mins pulling it back out. One of the worst designs on a shoe yet! Brooks is better than this. I don't know how it got out of testing.

I’ve Only Won Them A Couple Weeks. They Seem Ok They’re Definitely Not As Plush As It Was The First Couple Of Days. I’ll Have To Wait And See.

I’ve only had them a couple of weeks. I do love Brook shoes. They seem like they were real soft at first, but now they’re not as soft as they were three weeks ago.

Great Shoe!

Best shoe I have ever bought. So far, looks heavy but it not. I’m used to running in the kayanos, but I think I got a new favorite go to running shoe.

Great Shoes

The Greatest Shoe On Earth

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The most comfortable shoe I've ever owned! Bought this shoe primarily for walking on the treadmill and it didn't disappoint. The Ghost Max 2 was great but has been bumped by Glycerin Max 2. Overall, you cannot go wrong is Brooks!

Max 2

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very comfortable shoe, perfect style. Totally awesome shoe overall

Best Shoe I Have Ever Worn

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It is a very comfortable shoe i love the feel of running on it

Glycerin Max 2

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very comfortable for everyday use and feels good even after long wear. However, it could be improved by adding a quick-wear feature and offering more color options to suit different preferences.

The perfect recovery easy run shoe that can also pick up the pace ! Loving the update thank you Brooks !

Huge Disappointment

What a massive disappointment these were. After using the V1s for so long as my absolute favorite shoe ever, I had high hopes... but the V2s are STIFF as heck. Why would you change a shoe that was so well recieved?!?!? Drives me crazy. Back to my Nike Premiums, or Ghost Max V1s.

Huge Down Grade From V1

What a HUGE disappointment these were... as every..single...person (who isn't a bot,) is saying these are no where near as comfortable as the first V1. They are stiff and feel narrow, which is the literal opposite of the first version which was one of the most comfortable shoes ever. Huge fail by Brooks... I just honestly can't understood why they cha get the show completely,?? Knew I was returning them 30 seconds after trying them on. GO FIND MORE V1's!

Big Boy Review

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love it! The Brooks Glycerin Max 2 is an excellent choice if your priority is comfort, cushioning, and joint protection. It’s perfect for easy runs, long distances, or everyday wear. I’m a heavier guy at 240 lbs and they are holding up well on my runs.

AdamK

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are incredible for easy runs and long runs. My feet feel so refreshed when I run in these. Already eyeing my third pair 👀 I’m 195, 6’1” and a heavy footed male and I love them! The laces are a bit long and the upper could stand to breathe just a tiny bit better but overall 8/10 shoes!
