Brooks Glycerin Max Neutral Shoes

Description

• Upper: Flexible forefoot mesh that accommodates metatarsal sensitivity and bunions, supported by a structured heel counter to hold the calcaneus bone steady over the midsole center.

• Midsole Cushioning: Max-stack DNA TUNED nitrogen-infused foam stack engineered to absorb heavy vertical landing forces and minimize shock loads on ankles, knees, hips, and lower back joints.

• Cushioning & Stability Technologies: GlideRoll Rocker geometry reduces metatarsophalangeal joint flexion, while the broad, neutral foam footprint prevents excessive arch sink under body weight.

• Outsole: Broad, full-contact rubber sole mapped to eliminate localized pressure spikes under the heel bone and metatarsal heads.

  Key Features & Benefits

• High-Grade Impact Mitigation: Massive nitrogen-infused foam stack buffers heavy heel and forefoot strikes, drastically lowering impact stress on joints.

• Forefoot Flex Protection: Rockered sole geometry minimizes painful toe-joint bending during toe-off.

• Plantar Strain Relief: Wide platform and contoured foam sidewalls hold the arch stable, significantly lowering tension across the plantar fascia.

• Removable Footbed: Factory sockliner removes easily to fit custom medical orthotics or high-arch support insoles.

  Sizing & Fit Advice

     Fits True to Size (TTS). The removable factory sockliner easily accommodates custom medical orthotics; select half a size up if using thick custom orthotics.

How to Find Your Size (Step-by-Step Guide)

1. Setup: Place a plain sheet of paper on a hard floor, flushed against a flat wall. 2. Position: Stand on the paper with your heel resting gently against the wall (wearing your preferred athletic socks). 3. Mark: Mark the furthest point of your longest toe on the paper with a pencil. 4. Measure: Measure the distance from the edge of the paper (wall) to your mark in Centimeters (CM).

Recommended Fitting Margin:

• Casual / Lifestyle Wear: Add +0.5 cm to your measured foot length.

• Performance Running: Add +0.5 cm to +1.0 cm to allow proper room for foot expansion during long distance runs.
