Great review. Enjoy seeing Florida. I been running in Hokas but I’m thinking about switching back to the glycerin 17. That’s why I watched the review. I found a pair of my glycerin 15s that were barely worn. I tried them on and dang there nice.
Liked the review but I was on the brooks website and all I saw was three models to choose from as opposed to last year with 10 or so and I would like some more styling to choose from! Good review!
Hi John. I was just wondering did you go for the standard width (d) or the wide (ee) in the Glycerin 17 because some runners are saying it runs fairly narrow in the normal width. The reason I ask is because I also bought the 16, and while it is undoubtedly very well made, I found I had consistent problems with foot hold because of the lack of an achilles notch in the heel collar and a fairly rigid heel outsole which when combined with the overall weight of the runner affected it's flexibility. Any feedback would be appreciated.
Hey Martin, I have the regular D width. Did you go with the D or 2E width on the 16? If you had foot lock problems with the 16 I think the fit might be pretty similar, but I do think the 17 fits a little better in the heel than the previous version.
@@martinkingston1498 I would say see if you can find a local store to try them on first. Otherwise I think Brooks has a pretty good return policy so you could try the D width first and if it's not wide enough send it back and get the 2E if you like it. Enjoy!
EzE Eze in my opinion the Adrenaline GTS doesn’t feel as soft as the glycerin. But the adrenaline does have the added guiderail support that the glycerin doesn’t have. If you want cushion and support, check out the transcend from brooks
@@johncarr5846 I'll go with the glycerin since I've had shin splints in the past. I have a faster, responsive pair for tempo runs but glycerin's should be good for 8:00 pace and above right?
is that shoe good for running on very deep sand with weight on your back or sprint on the sand? and can you plz recommend to me for a good shoe for this type of training
@@johncarr5846 I was up in the Sierras, & ordered them on eBay. I had hoped that they would stretch, & that the heel collar would compress, but that never happened. You really should let people know about the sizing. Not many people have access to a decent running shop.✌
Andrew Kinneen hey Andrew, the glycerin should fit an orthotic just fine. If your orthotic is a little thicker, I would suggest the Brooks Dyad possibly.

That's awesome man! I'm really enjoying these shoes! I hope they're working out for you.

Hey Steven, you're right. It looks like the Glycerin 16 is no longer for sale on their site. Thanks for watching!

How do you think these compare to the adrenaline GTS?
FYI I’d go for the Brooks Cascadia for trail runners.

Which better and softer and responsive ??? Glycerin 17 or bondi 6 ???
In my opinion, the Bondi 6 feels softer, but I would say the Glycerin 17 is more responsive.
@@johncarr5846 thank you
Glycerin 17 or hoka rincon? I'm going to get a new pair for summer base building mileage for xc this fall.
Charles Hearp glycerin if you’re looking for more cushion, Rincon if you want lighter weight

Charles Hearp I think the glycerin would work well for that
That's completely different shoes. Rincons are for faster days

Brooks cascadia for those kind of surfaces
First time in brooks and i think i start to like Them more
Brilliant thank you
Comparison with ghost 11??
I would say the cushion is softer than ghost 11. I also think the toe box is a little roomier.
@@johncarr5846 thanks John,,
Oka Widharta you’re welcome! New Glycerin 18 comes out in March, I would imagine the current version will go on sale soon before that.
@@johncarr5846 in ma country already 70% disc and for ghost 11 is 50% sale.
And i bought already both🍺
Oka Widharta that’s a great deal! 🍻
Room in the toes??? The 10.5s I bought online ran 'at least' a half size small. Thats $150 I'll never get back😥
SoulJah Roch place you’re bought them from not have returns? I always buy running shoes a half size larger than my lifestyle shoes.

SoulJah Roch sorry to hear that, man. Best of luck finding a better fit for you.
Would this shoe be suitable for an orthotic?
Andrew Kinneen hey Andrew, the glycerin should fit an orthotic just fine. If your orthotic is a little thicker, I would suggest the Brooks Dyad possibly.
Шооо???
