Our take on the Brooks Glycerin Max 2 Men's Cross Training Shoes

The Brooks Glycerin Max 2 is a max-cushion road trainer built around a thick DNA Tuned midsole that pairs softer foam in the heel with firmer foam in the forefoot. At about 8 oz it is light for its cushioning class, and the nylon upper with a rubber outsole keeps it durable for daily mileage. It suits runners and walkers who want plush landings and a smooth roll-through rather than a fast, firm ride. Against the standard Glycerin it is taller and softer; against lighter tempo shoes it gives up some snap for comfort.

Best forDaily training and long easy runsHeavy runners wanting maximum cushioningRunners with joint sensitivity who want soft landingsWalkers and cross-training use on pavement
Pros
  • Thick DNA Tuned midsole with soft heel and firmer forefoot
  • Light for a max-cushion shoe at roughly 8 oz
  • Rubber outsole holds up to high mileage
  • Nylon upper is breathable and supportive
  • Smooth heel-to-toe transition
Cons
  • Tall stack feels unstable on uneven ground
  • Less ground feel and push-off than firmer trainers
  • Not built for speed work or racing
  • Normal width only, so wide feet may feel cramped

Questions and answers

How does the Glycerin Max 2 differ from the regular Glycerin?
The Max 2 has a taller, softer DNA Tuned midsole with a split soft-heel, firm-forefoot design. The standard Glycerin is lower and more uniform underfoot.
Is it good for long runs?
Yes. The max cushioning and light weight suit long easy runs and recovery days. It is not the pick for tempo work.
Does it fit true to size?
Most runners report true-to-size fit in normal width. Wide-footed runners may want to size up or look at a wider model.
Can I use it for walking or cross training?
It works for walking and light gym use thanks to the rubber outsole and cushioned ride. Lateral stability is limited for side-to-side work.
Is it waterproof?
No. It has no Gore-Tex membrane, so it is not water-resistant.
What is the drop and stack height?
Brooks builds it as a high-stack max-cushion trainer with a moderate heel-to-toe drop. Check the current spec sheet for exact figures.
