Why is my shoe Endangered?
The shoe manufacturer has discontinued your shoe, so there is a limited supply left. Stock up now at this great low price before they're gone forever.

Men's BROOKS® GLYCERIN 6 :: You loved the men's Brooks® Glycerin 5 for plush cushioning, so Brooks focused on subtle refinements in the updated Brooks® Glycerin 6 running shoe such as better toe-box fit, and a more segmented heel and forefoot for a smoother, more responsive ride. 11.9 ounces

Got these on advice of a good running shop and the plantar faciatus went away and the no injuries until recently at over 300 miles on the shoe. I am 185 so definitely replace at 250 to 300 mile and I had some issue in the toe box

I just got them and feel they are a great replacement for the Nimbus 9 that are no longer available.

Really good shoe for neutral runner. Great cushioning, but not mushy like Triumphs, Vomeros, etc... Good response, durability, lacing system, ventilation, even the insert is quality. Long time (30 year) Nike peg wearer. This is a high end shoe and worth the price.

This shoe works really well for me for high mileage training. Very plush ride, yet still responsive. It is heavy, but who cares - I'm not racing in it. Great Brooks fit and absolutely no pain.

5.    Eric rated this product 4 stars
Sat, September 13,2008:
These are very good running shoes for a person with wide feet. The are wide from the mid-foot to the toe box. The heel is snug. The cushioning is very soft but not as soft as the Nike Vomero 3, which I think are too soft. The heel is a little too elevated for me. All in all the Glycerin 6 is a good...

Got these shoe on the advice of a specialty running store. I have high archs and run aprox. 30-40 miles week. My heels have never hurt so bad. I can hardly walk after a long run. Going back to the Nimbus.

6'-0", 185#, 12 US, 8 min/mi, neutral. I loved these when I tried them on in May, and I loved running on them when I was building up my distance. Now I'm up to 30 mi/wk and having a lot of heel pain, something that never happened in years of running NB. Either they broke down after 300 mi. or the...

Wed, July 02,2008:
Have had the Glycerin 4's & 5's, as well as several other Brooks shoes. These shoes are comfortable with good cushioning, but they just feel heavy and almost bulky. I find these are good shoes for recovery runs and long-slow runs. The MOGO midsole is nice, but you DO HAVE to break it in a little...

Loved this shoe. Was a Asic fan, switched to Defyance this shoe has more cushion and lasted longer. I supinate terribly and these stepped-up to the challenge.

Sat, May 24,2008:
I thought this shoe would be an improvement over the 5, but those hopes were evidently in vain. Like the 5, this shoe still has the inner forefoot ball that rubs my feet raw, even wearing anti-blister socks. Based on the last two offerings compared to the Glycerin 4, it appears as though Brooks is...

Thu, May 22,2008:
Tried 3 different pairs of this shoe and all ran very narrow for a std. 8.5D width. Really disappointed in toe box fit because this shoe appears to be well made, has adequate cushioning in all the right places and, contrary to some other reviews, it has good curb appeal even in lime green. Gave it a...

plantar faciitis gone. love this shoe. heel cushioning is awesome, up to six miles and feeling great.

13.    Great shoe rated this product 5 stars
Tue, May 20,2008:
I am a neutral runner (6'2" and 175lb). Great training shoe, comfortable with good cushioning without feeling spongy. A bit on the heavy side but that's what racing flats are for. I plan on using these for long slow days.

Tue, May 13,2008:
I have to agree with Martin, for years I was reluctant to try onother brand but Asics. Just recently I bought a pair of Glyceryn 6 and so far I am very happy with them. The cushioning at the heel is excellent but one might not benefit from that depending on the way that one touches the ground when r...

I found this shoe to have good cushioning, but runs a bit wide. After running in these for 6 miles started to have knee pain.Switched to the Nike V3 and love them. 6'2" 215lbs.

The most comfortable Cushioning shoe i know. I am heavy( 210 lbs)and this is the perfect Allroundshoe for me. From short, fast Running to LSD. All is possible :). Durability is until now ok( after 150 Km) . Thanks Brooks :).

Very nice shoe. These shoes are really comfortable, but not so much that you cant run in them. The Mogo outsole is pretty amazing in itself. It offers Perfect blend of cushioning, responsivness, and support. Anyone neutral runner wanting a overall great shoe with plently of comfort and a good ride.....

I run thirty hilly miles a week on gravel roads. Have recently had to switch from Glycerin 5's to 6 series. After a couple of hundred miles I find myself really missing the fives. I don't run on my heels so I don't find any advantage to the extra heel cushioning. Overall they seem stiff and unrespon...

I liked the Glycerin but I have to agree with Brian. Brooks currently offers 4 models in a men's 7 by my count, down from 8 two years ago. I have seen how small the sales are below size 8. But come on Brooks, how about adding a few models like the Trance and Cascadia. All your competitors offer ...

Wed, March 05,2008:
In 25 years of running, Brooks is the first company I've come across that refuses to manufacture shoes in sizes smaller than an 8 in many of their models. I found this odd when I switched to Brooks a couple of years ago, but I worried little about it as I was wearing the Glycerin, which I could get ...

After going from radius to adrenalin gts to the glycerin series. these are great shoes. u can feel the cushoning on warm day and when it is hot it is the only thing you notice. very sturdy shoe that is comfortable and stylish.=)
