Plush interior

A newly designed mesh upper stretches for a roomy-yet-secure fit and allows for more air flow. So there’s no need to choose between snug and breathable.
Brooks also updated the interior to be softer, so you’re surrounded by comfort.
ALL SMOOTHNESS, ALL THE TIME.
Smooth transitions
Brooks kept plenty of that super soft cushioning in the middle of the shoe, so going from heel to toe feels incredibly soft and smooth as you run.
No matter how your foot strikes the ground, smooth transitions ensure comfort.

Origin stories: the Glycerin
The story of the Glycerin begins in the late 1990s — in true ‘90s northwest grunge spirit, the name was inspired by the song Glycerine by the band Bush. From early HydroFlow, to the new DNA LOFT, the Glycerin has always had Brooks' most innovative cushion tech.
The Glycerin will always function as Brooks' premium soft shoe, and as options grow for runners through support and fit, the Glycerin line will continue to be a favorite among runners.

FAQ & Tips
- What if I am between shoe sizes? We recommend you should size up, especially in active & sports shoes. This includes running shoes and hiking boots.
- Does 0.5 size make a difference in shoes? Yes, it certainly does! Wearing shoes that are too small can cause pain and injuries. Blisters, lose of toenails and bunions can all result from wearing shoes that are even 0.5 size too small. These are common ailments of beginner runners.
- Is one foot bigger than the other? It is common for people to have one foot that is slightly bigger than the other. Our tip is that you should buy shoes that fit the larger foot (buy pairs of shoes in the larger size of the two).
- Should shoes be tight or lose? Unfortunately, this is not a simple question. Shoes should not be too tight or too lose. You should be able to put a thumbs width at the end of your toe box, between your big toe and the pointy end of the shoe. You should also be able to snuggly fit your index finger between your heel and the back of the shoe. If you have not much (or not enough!) space in either of these areas, try a different size shoe.
- When should I try on shoes? A great tip for runners is to try on running shoes at the end of a work day. As you run, just like when you are on your feet for work, your feet swell. You will want to try on running shoes when your feet are at their largest. This allows them to still fit comfortably after a long distance run.
- What size shoe should I buy? This shoe chart is not a guarantee your shoes will fit. If you are in the area of Memphis, Tennessee, run on in to one of our running specialty & gear stores and our experienced fit experts will help you out!
