I've been a fan of the Brooks Glycerin for a while now. I currently run around 10-20 miles per week and have a pretty neutral running gait. I've used this shoe to train for the Mount Hood To Coast race and have put a lot of miles on the Glycerins.....I started out with the Glycerin 6 and they just keep improving it. This shoe is light weight, breathes well, and is quite durable. I've always been happy with the quality of Brooks products, and this is no exception. It fits true to size - I'm a 6.5 in most shoes and I'm a 6.5 in this one. The cusioning is just the right amount for me. I do understand the concept of the barefoot running craze (vibrams) and I own some shoes like this for shorter runs, but for the amount of mileage I typically run, I will stick with my Glycerins.
