WE SAY: Our Shoe Lab tests showed that the updated Glycerin 5 is a bit softer than the 4, thanks to both Brooks's new MoGo midsole foam and a larger cutaway section under the heel. (The heel essentially "sinks" into this open space in the midsole, which enhances cushioning.) Brooks also repositioned the upper overlays onto a more open mesh for better breathability and a roomier forefoot fit. We recommend this shoe for bigger runners with high arches looking for a neutral-cushioned shoe with a nice roomy fit.

Not enough volume when I used support footbeds and heel-lock lacing, but super-soft and quick. Some trouble keeping the tongue from sliding into the shoe, but still really satisfied with this for 5k-10k..
