Glycerin 22

I’m currently training for a half marathon next month and looking for another pair of running shoes that might be a better fit. Although I’ve run on and off most of my life, I only started taking it more seriously this summer and decided to sign up for a half marathon. I used to run in various versions of the Nike Pegasus, but eventually switched to the Brooks Glycerin 22. Unfortunately, my knees would get sore around the 6 km mark. I was advised to try a lower heel drop, so I picked up the New Balance 1080 v14. I do like them overall, and my knee is much happier, but I’ve noticed some soreness on the outer edge of my right foot during longer runs. My feet also tend to get numb if the shoes are even slightly tight (which surprises me because I have narrow feet). So now I’m looking into alternatives I could try. For context, I wear a women’s size 5, and that size can be hard to find in stores. When it \*is\* available, options are usually very limited. That means I often have to order online and hope for the best, which is why I’m here looking for suggestions. I’m considering the New Balance Rebel V5, but I’m definitely open to other recommendations I should look into. Thanks!

I usually love my Hoka Clifton, but tried Brooks Glycerin 22. I’m happy with them so far!

Hi running people, I need some advice on what shoes to get. A few years ago I used to run a 5k about 2-3 times a week, but an injury kept me from running, so I stopped altogether. I was at a store on Saturday and got my feet analysed. I do have slight overpronation, I also have a splay foot and would be more prone for hallux valgus in my later years. I also have knee problems, which is why I wear a brace while going on hikes e.g. Taking that into consideration, I‘ve been looking at: ***Brooks Glycerin 23, Asics Gel Kayano 32, Asics Novablast 5, Asics Gel Nimbus 27.*** I tried the Brooks and the Asics Kayano as well as the Gel Nimbus on. I liked the extra stabilty from the Kayano. The employee at the store said that a stability shoe could be good, but the overpronation is not too bad yet. I‘ve read that the Kayano could still help me, because of my splay foot and the automatic rotation of my lower leg to the inside. I‘m guessing the Brooks would minimise impact well, because of the cushioning, but still be stable enough. My guess is that the Nimbus would swallow a lot of impact, because of the softness, and taking the pressure off the knee joints. Kindly correct me, if I‘ve made a wrong assessment about the shoes, though. I don‘t know if these would be my best options, and which one I should go for, but if you have any other suggestions I should look into, I‘d be very grateful.

I’m a big fan of Nimbus (I currently have the 26 though) and just retired my Glycerin 22 today for a pair of ASICS Megablast. I will say personally I was not a fan of the Glycerin. I’ve been running with Ghosts (my go to for faster 3-5 mile runs) for years and was told Glycerine was like the perfect hybrid of the Ghost Max and Nimbus (which has been my go to for more relaxed long distance runs). After running in the Glycerins my toes and knees always felt beat up. Idk if it’s the toe box but my left foot, middle toe kept chaffing to the point of blisters the last couple of weeks which I’ve never experienced before. All of that said, my personal preference is still Ghost for shorter runners and Nimbus for long runs. Nimbus is less responsive but super comfy for high mileage days.

Brooks Glycerin 22s have been my go to for daily trainer/ longer runs Recently started incorporating New Balance Fresh Foam X 1080v14
