Brooks Glycerin Max 2

Brooks Glycerin Max 2 review: what runners say

Fit

The tongue is not gusseted, a construction detail that stands out as a limitation. Some wide sizes are absent from the current offering.

Feel

Maximum cushioning with a rocker geometry that smooths transitions. Energy return is low: the foam absorbs but does not give back.

Durability

Multiple users report 350–750 km with no structural breakdown. The outsole delivers solid traction on asphalt as well.

Best for

Easy run and long-run shoe on asphalt and concrete. High weight rules out quality workouts; suited for runners seeking maximum protection during low-intensity sessions.

Weak points

High weight limits versatility. Some runners report blisters on the plantar arch and excessively thick laces.
