Runner's World Shoe Lab Test Results


We say: With this update, Brooks mainly focused on the upper. Many of the overlays have been repositioned and softened to enhance fit and reduce the risk of blisters. Brooks also added its new cooling system, called HVAC, to the sockliner. The new Glycerin features added flex grooves in the forefoot, but our lab tests showed that flexibility remains the same as in the Glycerin 3. Recommended for higher-arched runners looking for plenty of impact protection.

I found the shoe very comfortable but very rigid in the heel. It caused me back discomfort after my third time wearing it. If you under pronate this is not the shoe for you. .
