Women's Brooks Glycerin 8

Comments about Womens Brooks Glycerin 8 Running Shoe:

I'm a high-mileage, orthotic wearing, over-supinator. Tried the Saucony Progrid Triumph 7, Nike Vomero, Pearl Izumi SynchroFloat without success (Pearls were best of those three by far). But the new Glycerin is a perfect balance of neutral cushioning that reminds me what it's like to love running again. I replaced the laces with bungees and that helps alleviate any pressure on the top of my foot. Have logged 50 miles and am cautiously hopeful!

I have extremely high arches and have a hard time finding a good cushioned shoe. I loved the feel of these so much I wore them for a 10k the day after I bought them. I've been recovering from a hip pain caused by a pair of shoes that didn't work out. No pain with these, had a great run and felt like I could have done another one after! I wasn't anxious to take them off when I finished, that is a good sign too.

I am a lightweight female runner using an orthotic and I love the Glycerin 7. The Glycerin 8 is also a great shoe. For my build, both models are a safe, sturdy, workhorse shoe, yet they're agile and never feel clunky or too heavy. Sweet! The 8 seems to have a little more cushion in the forefront and ride a little higher. It is right at the edge of feeling mushy, but it isn't. It feels slightly less stable than the 7. I probably like the 7 better, but the 8 is still a great shoe.

I'm a heavy runner, getting back into jogging after a winter off. ~200 lbs., 5'10", size 10 foot. Neutral plus, slight underpronator when tired, ~10-15 miles per week. Previous brands that fit me have been Saucony (roomy toebox), Nike depending on the model (they tend to run too narrow on my rather wide forefoot). My last shoe was Nike's Vomero Zoom 4+ ... it wore out way too fast for my size body though quite cushiony, so I was looking for a more durable neutral cushioned shoe. The fit rep in the store was very knowledgeable about women's shoes, a runner herself, so she recommended the Brooks Glycerin, I've not tried this brand before. I tested it side-by-side in store with the Saucony, New Balance, Adidas for Neutral +, this one fit the best of all. I particularly like that it has cushion in both forefoot and heel, and forefoot has a curve up for better/faster pushoff, actually makes for a faster feeling shoe, lighter running feel. It also means that you should likely go up a half size, I needed to go up to a 10.5, first time I've had to do that in a shoe. Very lightweight, which I like, not clunky at all, quite comfortable. Tongue has a notch for the front of the shin, which many shoes don't, so I appreciate that and don't feel it pushing on my leg during the run. Am a bit concerned about the arch support, I have very high arches, and my left arch started feeling a bit achy, so I will need to watch that and see if it starts giving me problems... have been running on the shoe for 2 weeks now and there hasn't been any "breaking-in" necessary, good grip, not too tight or loose on the heel, roomy toebox. So far I am very pleased with the fit. (Moderators: sorry I posted this review on the grey model, I have this one, the blue.)

Love it! I was a little worried since I love the 7 versions. I just got mine in the mail last week and had 2 great runs. Fit is perfect!

Comments about Womens Brooks Glycerin 8 Running Shoe:

I have hard to fit feet, bunions and a wide foot. These shoes do not hurt my feet like every other pair of shoes I have tried. I am so happy that I tried these and would recommend them to anyone who has a hard time finding shoes that feel great.

Comments about Womens Brooks Glycerin 8 Running Shoe:

I usually go for more cushioned shoes than these because I have such a weird foot strike. my forefoot needs a little bit more cushion, but the way that the shoe feels is great.

i love them.

This is best running shoe I have ever owned. Has great cushioning

Comments about Womens Brooks Glycerin 8 Running Shoe:

These are my all time fav running shoes! They are comfortable, breath well and have a slightly wider toe box which I love in helping to avoid the loss of toenails or the bruising of them. These shoes are now on the endangered list so my best advise is stock up!!!

Comments about Womens Brooks Glycerin 8 Running Shoe:

I run outide between 25-30 miles per week and have high arches. The first 2 runs, about 3 miles in my arches started to cramp, so don't try these out for the first few times in a race. Otherwise, they have been great. I really like to colors too. I have only have them for about 2 1/2 weeks, so I'm not sure about durability, but I am a Brooks consumer and the others have been VERY durable.

I use this product for the running portion of my triathlete training and I love these shoes so far.

Comments about Womens Brooks Glycerin 8 Running Shoe:

I like the fact that I was able to find out exactly what running shoe would work best for me.

Comments about Womens Brooks Glycerin 8 Running Shoe:

This shoe is perfect. I have been running over 30 years and this shoe is by far the best. I have so much problem finding shoes that will work for me.
I am so disappointed that they are upgrading to a new model. This shoe is perfect as it is. In my opinion there is nothing they can do to make it any better

I just bought 3 pairs as my others were a year old. I hate to part with them. Love these so much I also bought my 22, 24, 26 year old pairs of the same. Love these sneakers and I can put orthodics in them as well.

Comments about Womens Brooks Glycerin 8 Running Shoe:

From the moment I tried on this shoe it was perfect. I had always heard that when you find the right shoe you would know it. I never believe it until I found this one. This was my 4th attempt at finding the right shoe. I finally think I got it right. I did buy a whole size larger than my regular size even though the sales person said that a 1/2 size would be good. I had a bad experience with another shoe that I did not want to repeat. Great shoe.

I'm a phys Ed teacher always on my feet and this shoe is perfect. Great comfort and support. Good shock absorption especially as we are skipping and I haven't gotten sore feet/hip/back. Great price too.
