Golfing_PandaBrooks Glycerin 22 or 24, or Brooks Glycerin Max are great options Max more cusion and standard glycerin great balance of comfort and stability.
johnny_fives_555Sales + runrepeat. Needs to be at least half off. If I’m being honest more like 66%+ off. I’m running in speed 2s, Boston 11s, triumph 19, and glycerin 20s because they were on sale.
josiorThe test seems accurate to what I've seen with the shoes I have (Mizuno Wave Sky 8 and Brooks Glycerin 20).
lutewhineMy shoe purchases this year: Nike Vomero 16 (£59.99) Brooks Glycerin 20 (£73.80) Mizuno Wave Sky 6 (£54) I haven’t paid full-price for a pair of running shoes since Vomero 1 came out, and that was only because the store did an excellent job with gait analysis that helped cure longstanding shin issues. Never buy budget shoes - buy great shoes at good prices from previous seasons.
Puzzleheaded_Bat7588Sounds like my Brooks Glycerin 20s 😁
picklegrabberNike structure wide Brooks glycerin wide or extra wide If you’re into trail running Altra lone peaks These are my favorite as someone that’s a 9.5 women wide.
AppropriateFan2864For Brooks, I would also recommend checking out their [Restart program](https://restart.brooksrunning.com/) which is basically like an outlet offering shoes at a really good discount. They will tell you if the shoes are in brand new condition or gently used.. I believe these are the shoes that get returned as they have a very generous return policy. Last year, I got my Glycerin 21 shoes for $75 in brand new condition :)
