I have struggled in recent years to find the perfect running shoes. In my distant past, I was a regular runner and a New Balance girl all the way. After a long hiatus and weight gain, I decided to return to running. After reading Born to Run, I was intrigued and tried a variety of barefoot runners (5 fingers and Merrell). At first I swore that I would never go back -- nothing is more comfortable on the feet than 5 fingers -- love how responsive they are! However, I developed plantar facitis (boo), and have had to switch back to stardard shoes. I have been desperately trying to find the right ones; I tried the Saucony Hurricane, New Balances, Innovates, and Brooks glycerine and adrenaline. Hands down, the Brooks Glycerine had the best feel. My only complaint is this: Who the heck is designing these shoes? They are soooo ugly. Why do all companies only make their wide width shoe in the pink color??? I actually feel embarrassed wearing them.

The Glycerin 8 was the absolutely perfect shoe for me. I ran 12 half marathons with them and could not have been happier. The Glycerin 9 is pretty solid as well. Unfortunately, I can no longer find 8s or 9s in my size and had to purchase the 10. I did my 12th half marathon of 2012 wearing these. I thought I was going to die. My feet started hurting around mile 4, my knees and hips around mile 8, and I ended up limping my way across the finish line. I am ready to cry. I may have to stop doing distance running as a result. Why, oh why, Brooks, did you have to ruin an absolutely fabulous model?!?!?!

These just do not have the same cushining as it's predecessors. The pain was focused on the balls of my feet. Otherwise, the fit is great and it is still a comfortable shoe. They may work for a 5k. A 10k would be pushing it.

Has been working out well so far, although I've only been able to take them on one run. I did walk all over Europe the past two weeks in them though, and they seemed ok. My feet did hurt a little, but I think it was from cobblestones, not the shoes!

    The absolute best shoes I ever owned. From the very first run, they are 100% comfortable and fit perfectly. If you take a wide width sneaker, this shoe is the one.

      I really love this shoe. It has helped drastically with the discomfort in my knees and hips. I just wish I would have ordered a half size bigger.

        I use these shoes for long and short distances as well as for boot camp. They last forever and feel great. However the look- I wish they were snazzier looking- year after year I feel like I am wearing a fabulous fitting but otherwise plain old running shoe and look longingly around me at the other cool styles coming out from competitors... so please, consider amping up the look to match the functionality before my vanity trumps loyalty.

            I have autoimmune arthritis and finding a shoe that would give cushiony support for my knees and ankles has proved difficult. After one of my running coaches suggested the Glycerin, I tried them thinking that these would just be another pair that I would donate. Guess what? These shoes changed my running life. I no longer have horrible knee pain after running. I had a knee full of fluid from my disease and was still able to run a 1/2 marathon in these shoes. I couldn't be happier with them. Thank you Brooks!

                  Used these for walking. Love the color and comfort. Had them 3 months and the silly decorative stitching on the tip of the toes came unraveled! Really? these are such expensive shoes to have them fall apart with such a light weight like me. I am a Brooks fan, these are my 3rd pair...however, I would not recommend this shoe. So sad. :(

                    I've run in Brooks Glycerin shoes for several years now since model 7 or 8, I think.
                    I tried two pairs of the 10 model. The first pair I figured must have been defective. I had to stop between mile one and two of my first wearing to adjust the laces because my foot went numb. I adjusted again between mile three and four. Fed up, I headed home. I ordered a different pair and had the same issues. The problem is the insole. The "outer arch" for lack of a better term is really high(the area opposite the arch). It feels half as high as the arch support, and I think that is what is making my foot numb.
                    Now, I'm just hoarding several pairs of the Gylcerin 9's. I've never had support issues with Brooks. I have high arches, but whatever is going on with Glycerin 10 is painful. I've never had to stop during a run to adjust my shoes like this, and I've been running for over 20 years.
