I bought these shoes from Zappos. The shoes are cushioned and comfortable. I did have to order a size 8 vs my usual 7.5. I have foot issues so I do not wear the same shoes everyday. I purchased on March 20, 2018 and on June 21, 2018 I noticed a hole up on the satin part. I contacted customer service with Brooks and they are going to let me exchange the shoes for a different color. I have the Glycerin 12 and Glycerin 14 plus others. I have never had an issue like this but they say its from the front of one shoe hitting the other but I wear them to work in and none of the others have this issue. Hopefully,  the replacement shoes will hold up longer. In case anyone is wondering about size the orange/pink shoe is a 7.5 and the other two ran smaller so had to size up to an 8. So yay for customer service but for the money I need them to last a lot longer.
