Discount Brooks Men's Glycerin 10 Running Shoes

Customer Ratings:

I'm a triathlete and I've been having issues with pain on the top of both feet during impact. I'm a pretty big boy at 6'4/215lbs but I've never had issues like this before. I've been training for a 70.3 and upped my running quite a bit and the pain began as I increased my weekly mileage. A friend, who's about the same size, suggested I go down to the New Balance store and get fitted for some more "heavy duty" running shoes so I gave that a try. They fitted me with a pair of 1080v2's which at the time, felt great. After putting about 30 miles on them I realized that they were not as good as advertised. I decided to try one more pair of shoes before heading to the Dr. so I went down to a running specific shoe store in town where I was able to test several brands on the treadmill (they filmed my foot strike during the test). After trying 5 different shoes, I ended up with a pair of Brooks Glycerin 10's. My feet were still hurting but I decided to walk my dog for a few miles in them and try a few strides to see how they felt on pavement. The felt great so, the next day I went for a short 4 mile run to test the waters and I was amazed at the difference. The day before I had to stop less than half a mile in to my run because of the pain but, I was easily able to run 4 miles without any issues in the new shoes.

I'm a natural heel striker (and I also run more on the outside of my feet) and the impact on the NB 1080v2's felt like a two stage impact i.e heel/forefoot but, with the Brooks, the impact feels more natural instead of a two stage impact, it feels like my foot rolls softly from heel to toe in one sweeping motion.

Shoe fit will differ between individuals so I'm sure your mileage may vary. But if you're a big guy and are having issues finding a good running shoe, I'd suggest giving these a try. They made a huge difference for me.

I ran about 350 miles in my Glycerin 9 running shoes and was very happy with them. When I went to replace them in July 2012, I found them out of stock at my local running shoe store and was directed to the newer Glycerin 10 model. During my store fitting, I didn't notice the toe box was smaller in the Glycerin 10 than the Glycerin 9 model. I bought the Glycerin 10 and began running in them immediately after.

After about 20 miles (one week) I noticed that my small toes were getting blisters. I switched to thinner socks but the problem remains: the toe box in the Glycerin 10 is shaped more like most other available running shoes today. It is tapered to a point instead of rounded like the Glycerin 9. The point in the Glycerin 10 is slightly closer to the large toe, but still prominent, and this shape causes my small toes to become pinched during running.

My original pair of Glycerin 9 continues to remain comfortable even at close to 500 miles, but have begun to lose their cushioning. Now that I've found them here on Amazon.com, I am buying another pair of the older model Glycerin 9. I'll put my Glycerin 10 aside for now, and hope I can find a way to stretch the toe box so I will not have wasted my money. I am not confident that I will be able to do that.

Best Deals on Brooks Men's Glycerin 10 Running Shoes

I own Glycerin 8's, 9's, 10's and love the improvements in each model change. I am a larger runner (But getting smaller) training for a 1/2 marathon and I cannot say enough good things about this shoe. They tend to run a bit smaller, so go to a local running store and 1. Get the correct shoe style for you (Control/Neutral/Support) 2. The Correct size for you. The Army spent 30 years trying to make me a runner and failed. It took getting the right equipment to make the experience rewarding enough to make me love the run.

Honest reviews on Brooks Men's Glycerin 10 Running Shoes

I purchased these shoes to get back into running and cross training. These shoes were recommended for a neutral style runner. The shoes have great support and really work well, yes they are expensive but they are worth the money. I would recommend getting new insoles that is the only draw back of the shoes.

I bought these shoes specifically to train for a first attempt at a marathon. I've been running 30-60 regularly in these shoes for about 7 months with longest runs being 36 km so far. I've found these shoes extremely cushiony (mid to front foot strike) and comfortable. The shoes feel very cushioned whilst still having some "feel" for the road. They transition quickly. I've found them light enough, I don't notice them or feel them dragging me down in long runs, including when soaking wet. I haven't had any problems with the tred (no slipping on wet footpaths) although I haven't used them on trails. The tred has only just begun to wear out after doing ~800 km.

Inside I've found the fit nice and nigh whilst stretchy so you're feet feel snug and secure but not constrained. There's no hard bits inside to rub on your feet and I've never had any problem with blisters. The black and red makes a nice break change from all of the silvery clone colored looking running shoes on the market. I'd recommend these shoes to anyone starting to rack up the km's and will definitely be buying further models of these.
