What are the best socks to wear with this shoe?

Hi Matt, great question! We typically recommend performance running socks made from synthetic materials like nylon, polyester, and spandex. Moisture-wicking fabrics are best and we suggest avoiding cotton socks as the material can increase friction and potentially lead to early wear of the inner material of the shoe. Some Brooks styles like the Ghost Crew, Ghost Lite Crew 2-pack, and Run-In Crew 3-pack are great options to consider!

Do these have equal support to the current glycerin GTS? I’ve always ran in adrenaline Gts or Glycerin Gts. I want to try these but I’m worried they don’t have enough support

Hi John, thanks for your question! The Glycerin Max 2 will offer a different cushion experience compared to the Glycerin or Adrenaline GTS as it does not have our GuideRails Support technology. The Glycerin Max 2 has our most luxurious nitrogen-infused DNA TUNED cushioning and an enhanced plush fit along with our GlideRoll Rocker technology for an effortless running experience. If you prefer a style that offers more structured support, the styles like the Adrenaline and Glycerin GTS have GuideRails, which are two pieces of firmer foam placed on either side of the heel, creating a support system that helps keep excess movement in check. Think of this system like bumpers on a bowling lane—if there’s too much internal or external rotation, the firmer foam gently guides the foot and joints back to their natural alignment. We also offer a 90 day run happy promise in case you try a style and need to return it and try something else.

Hi Hunter. The Glycerin Max 2 exceeds the World Athletics, formerly known as the IAAF, required stack height limit of 40mm. The stack height of the heel in the Glycerin Max 2 is 45mm (39mm in the front).

Enjoy luxurious softness

We pushed the limits of midsole technology to create a nitrogen-infused foam combining large cells in the heel for airy landings and small cells in the forefoot for powerful toe-offs.

Step from heel to toe with ease

Each step should feel super easy, thanks to our innovative rocker technology. A sculpted bevel and toe spring geometries help move your foot through each step seamlessly.

Keep your legs feeling fresh

The cushioning is stacked to the max. It's designed to leave legs feeling fresh, with a boundary-pushing amount of cushion to help protect your body from impact.

Max softness. Max energy. Max run.

Go on a run that never runs out in the Glycerin Max 2. Dual-cell DNA TUNED cushion is optimized for soft landings and powerful toe-offs, while a GlideRoll Rocker helps provide a more fluid step-through to help you truly tune out and max your run.
