The Brooks Glycerin Max 2 Men’s is the most cushioned road running shoe in the Brooks lineup, designed for runners seeking maximum comfort during longer and easier efforts. It offers a protective, plush feel underfoot, making it suitable for daily mileage and extended steady runs. The GlideRoll Rocker midsole provides a smooth, guided transition that supports posture and reduces the effort required to maintain momentum.

The DNA Tuned midsole foam is nitrogen-infused and sealed to retain responsiveness and cushioning over time. It is engineered to be softer in the heel to support gentle landings and firmer through the forefoot to encourage a more energetic toe-off. With a stack height of 45mm at the heel and 39mm at the forefoot, the shoe delivers substantial cushioning while maintaining a stable ride. The foot sits within the midsole rather than on top of it, enhancing security.

The triple jacquard mesh upper offers a streamlined and more adaptive fit compared to previous versions. A separate padded tongue and curved heel tab increase comfort, and the heel counter provides support without feeling rigid. The overall feel is luxurious and supportive without feeling restrictive, making the Glycerin Max 2 a reliable choice for high-mileage road runners prioritising comfort.
