I am a long time fan and have 3 different pairs of Brooks running shoes. My Launch's have taken me through 3 1/2 marathons without even one blister! When I caught a glimpse of my husband's old Nikes that are finally falling apart..I decided to splurge and buy him the shoes that all my male running friends rave about. He doesn't "run" but walks a lot with me but also a farmer. Always on the go and on his feet. These shoes are like "walking on clouds". His words..not mine. I see another pair of Glycerin's in the near future. Happy Feet for sure!
