Brooks Glycerin 10

This is Brooks’ top-of-the-range cushioning shoe and it duly offers impressive comfort, although the super-plush feel makes it a better option for lighter runners as those who are heavy of foot won’t get much feedback from this. The grip and traction from the outsole came in for particular praise and one of the surprising pieces of feedback to emerge was that even though this is clearly a road shoe, several runners took it on to the trail and reported that it was just as comfortable on either surface, making the premium price somewhat better value for money.
