Features
The Brooks Glycerin Max 2 has everything you love about max cushioning, but with a surprising spring that makes your miles feel effortless.
The Glycerin Max 2 delivers a reliable ride with ultimate softness and an easy, energetic spring forward due to the thoughtfully crafted GlideRoll Rocker. It features nitrogen-infused DNA Tuned cushioning, engineered with innovative dual-size cell technology to target the areas of your foot that need it most. This innovative cushioning protects your body from impact, keeping your legs feeling fresh run after run.
Details:
- Upper: The engineered triple jacquard air mesh wraps your foot securely, while breathable materials keep your feet cool. Soft padding on the tongue and heel collar adds instant step-in comfort and a luxurious feel to this daily trainer.
- Midsole: Brooks’ DNA Tuned midsole uses dual-cell, nitrogen-infused foam. Large cells in the heel and midfoot create soft landings, while small cells towards the forefoot give you responsive toe-offs. Then, the GlideRoll Rocker geometry gently guides you forward for a smooth stride.

Great Shoe for Everyday Wear
The fit, cushion, and rocker sole are just what I needed in a shoe for everyday wear. Needed a shoe to help with MTP arthritis.

2nd pair of these
Overall I really like these. Not an experience runner/jogger by any means, but these shoes were stable and soft on impact. Really the only negative I feel is that the wear pads/sole or whatever they are called worn down too fast in my opinion.

5‑Star Review for Brooks Glycerin Max 2 & Fleet Feet
The Brooks Glycerin Max 2 has absolutely earned every bit of this five‑star rating. These shoes have been a game‑changer for me throughout my running and weight‑loss journey. I started at 413 pounds and am now down to 235, and running has played a major role in that transformation. The cushioning, support, and comfort of the Glycerin Max 2 have made every mile smoother, especially as my training progressed from casual run/walks all the way to becoming a 10K coach. Just as important as the shoes has been the support I’ve received from Fleet Feet. They’ve been my go‑to retailer from the very beginning, and their professionals consistently take the time to understand my goals, my gait, and what works best for my body at every stage of my journey. Their fit process and product knowledge are unmatched, and they’ve helped me stay injury‑free as my mileage and confidence grew. If you’re looking for shoes that can support you through major change and a store that truly cares about your success, I can’t recommend the Brooks Glycerin Max 2 and Fleet Feet enough. They’ve supported me every step of the way.

Nothing like the original at all!
Not sure why these are nothing at all like the original which are so comfortable and soft, not marshmallow, but very plush. Awesome shoe for easy day runs and walking. The new model fit tighter and are quite firm. Not recommended if you’re looking for similar fit and feel unfortunately.
