Women's Glycerin Max 2

Brooks Glycerin Max 2 - Maximum Cushion, Effortless Motion A Scientific Feat of Softness The Brooks Glycerin Max 2 solves the "bottoming out" problem often found in high-stack shoes. While many maximalist trainers can feel mushy or unstable, the Glycerin Max 2 utilizes DNA TUNED technology—a dual-cell nitrogen-infused foam. By engineered large cells in the heel for airy, plush landings and smaller cells in the forefoot for a firmer, more responsive toe-off, Brooks has created a single, seamless midsole that adapts to your stride. You get the impact protection of a recovery shoe with just enough "pop" to keep your momentum moving forward. Technological Performance DNA TUNED Midsole: A boundary-pushing nitrogen-infused foam that varies cell size to optimize both softness and energy return. GlideRoll Rocker: A sculpted heel bevel and aggressive toe-spring geometry that encourages a fluid, rolling transition from landing to takeoff. Broad Stability Platform: A wide base and high sidewalls ensure that even with a 45mm stack height, the ride remains stable and predictable. Triple Jacquard Air Mesh: A premium, breathable upper that provides a secure, luxurious wrap around the foot. Plush Interior: A separate, well-padded tongue and a soft heel collar designed to eliminate hotspots and provide instant step-in comfort. What’s New Completely Redone Upper: The transition from version 1 to 2 brings a more streamlined, breathable triple jacquard mesh that reduces bulk and improves midfoot lockdown. Increased Stack & Protection: Now featuring a massive 45mm heel and 39mm forefoot, offering even more vibration dampening for high-mileage days. Refined Geometry: The GlideRoll Rocker has been tweaked to feel smoother and less "tippy" than the original, making it more suitable for a wider variety of paces. Enhanced Durability: The outsole rubber and foam density have been tuned to resist compression and wear, ensuring the "new shoe" feel lasts for hundreds of miles. Versatility for Every Mover Power Your Run: The Glycerin Max 2 is a "leg-saver" for the high-volume runner. It excels on long runs and recovery days when your primary goal is protecting your joints and keeping your heart rate low. The 6mm drop provides a more natural feel for those who find traditional 10mm-12mm drops too steep. Walking & Daily Motion: This is a top-tier choice for fitness walkers. The rocker geometry makes every step feel easier, while the extreme cushioning makes it feel like you are walking on a carpeted surface regardless of the terrain. Reliable Comfort for Every Shift: For local professionals who spend 8-12 hours on hard surfaces, the Glycerin Max 2 is a game-changer. The "cradle" fit keeps the foot centered and supported, while the DNA TUNED foam prevents the foot fatigue that often sets in during long shifts at the hospital or school. The combination of a luxurious fit and effortless roll makes this a staff favorite for "cruising" through miles along the bay or standing tall through a busy day in Saginaw. Staff Favorite for: Recovery runs, high-mileage protection, and all-day comfort for tired feet.
