I am a 25 to 30 mile a week runner, I was a loyal (any) running shoe fan, But decided to give Brooks a shot after my wife was such a fan.... I wear neutral shoes so I thought changing shoes would not be a big deal. So my first pair of Brooks I purchased the Ghost 3,I ran in these for about 6-7 months going through 2 pair seem like a great shoe light and felt great. Then I purchased the update which was the Ghost 4 and I immediately noticed the difference, did not feel the same as the Ghost 3 .... Not to be critical of the Ghost 4 model but, my feet had comformed to the Ghost 3 and the change was noticeable. I decided to look for a couple of pair of the Ghost 3 to buy could not find my size ....I went to a running store to try on different shoes to try and get that feel again of the Ghost 3, after trying on different brands I tried on the Glycerin 9 by Brooks and this was the greatest feeling shoe I had ever tried on...Any avid runner will know what feeling I had because it was almost therapeutic. I know this is my experience and may not translate to anyone else but, if you are looking for the best ride you ever had in a neutral running shoe the Glycerin 9 is the shoe for you. Believe me this shoe is worth every penny.Brooks Men's Glycerin 9 Running Shoe

Insanity and P90X workouts require lots of jumping in every direction. The main reason why I bought these over other Brooks and Nikes was because of the front cushion that almost all shoes under $85 don't have. My arches were killing me doing Insanity and now they don't. There are many other positives including long shoe-life, comfort, breatheablity, etc that other reviews say.
Highly recommend to friends and family.
Best Deals on Brooks Men's Glycerin 9 Running Shoe
I put these shoes through some abuse and they are hands down best shoe for me. I will start with a little bit about me. I am 5'6, 170lbs, 8.5 shoe size, an 11:20 mile and a half, I have P.F, regular archs, with heel spurs and under pronantion. I took a huge risk buying these shoes before Officer Candidate School (OCS) but I did a lot of research and these shoes kept popping up so I bought them with a pair of Asics. In OCS we run about 20 miles a week and go through very intense training. I wore these the first 8 weeks and all of my aches and pains were gone, it was like running on clouds. I liked them so much that I'm buying another pair. They were slightly heavier then the Asics but they were more comfortable and durable.

I love these shoes! I have run this series since the Glycerin III and have always had good luck. The Glycerin 9 is by far my favorite yet. It provides lots of cush and comfort without being too soft and is still relatively light. The shoes also look as good as they feel. I may buy another pair now I like them so much.
