Our verdict

A high-stack, rocker-shaped trainer for long road miles and tired legs. It is not a lightweight speed shoe, and the stack height and weight are missing from the listing.

ASIN: B0F5N9JWQRModel: Glycerin Max 2

Overview

Not a lean racing flat, the Glycerin Max is a high-stack daily trainer built on a single-layer DNA TUNED midsole and a sculpted rocker geometry. A triple jacquard air mesh upper wraps the foot with midfoot adjustability.

Choose the Glycerin Max for long easy runs where soft landings and forward roll matter most. The listing calls it one of the highest stacks in the Brooks range without giving a figure, and weight is not stated.

Who it's for

Long road runs and treadmill sessions suit the zoned foam and rocker. Anyone who needs a firm feel, trail traction or stability correction should look elsewhere.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Zoned DNA TUNED midsole cells
  • GlideRoll rocker geometry
  • Triple jacquard air mesh upper
  • Maximum impact protection
Cons
  • Stack height and weight not listed
  • Not water resistant
  • Neutral only, no stability support
  • Rocker geometry favors steady paces

Performance notes

The midsole cells are larger in the heel for softer landings and smaller in the forefoot for quicker toe-offs. The heel bevel and toe spring work together to roll the foot forward, which reduces effort at toe-off. The upper adapts around the midfoot without pressure points.
