Bought a pair of Chariots about a year and a half ago and loved the shoes. Ordered another pair to find they made some changes to the sole of the shoe. Parts of midsole look spongy and cheaply cut or pieced together. The rubber sole itself is much stiffer and feels like the cheap fruit erasers. Can't imagine this sole will last at all. The sole started creasing easily as well after a few steps. Compared to the softer rubber and the clean cuts of the last version, this feels like a huge downgrade. Sad to see the quality drop on what felt like a reliable shoe.

Well, let me start by saying I have severe overpronation in my right foot. And I mean severe. The kind where you go to a running shop to have your gait analysed and the guy watching the video calls his colleague over and says, “Hey Eddie, come and have a look at this.”

So obviously I know my feet are probably quite unusual and my experience might not be the same as everyone else’s.

To sum it up, the Glycerin GTS are the only shoes I’ve found that fix my gait and don’t give me blisters. My only issue is that since version 22, the toe box seems to have become slightly narrower. I found a workaround using 2 mm insoles, but I never had this problem with version 21.

Also want to add my two cents. Please make a lightweight GTS option for marathon racing. You basically have no competition in that area, and I’m sure Brooks could benefit from it.

I noticed this little hole in my shoes 10 days after i bought them and want to know if i should fix it or its still to small of a hole. And how to even fix. Thank you in advance. (I can’t return them or replace them since i bought them in a different city to where i am now)

The photos show BEFORE(31 July) and AFTER (16 august) using them maybe 4 times in total.

Hi. I was looking online for a good pair of running shoes. I went to Dicks Sporting Goods and i tried this pair on, Hoka Clifton Pro, Asics Novablast and Megablast and Adidas Adizero EVO and well.. i ended up going with my Brooks Glycerin Max 2😸

I own 2 pairs of Hokas so, I wanted to try something new.

I find that these are very bouncy and make me taller by like 2 inches, haha. Not sure if anyone else experiences this but, my lower back doesn't hurt after wearing these which is a plus.

Im new to running, I just started like a month ago so, idk what else to say lol except the fact that to me, so far, they are pretty comfy when i run and even when i just go on walks and i really like the bounce😆😆

I’m an ER nurse and absolutely love to get the Hero edition shoes every year. Somehow I missed them this year and I’m devastated!!! I’ve searched everywhere! I need a 10.5 or 11 if y’all can help a gal out!!!

Basically the title. I’m just getting into the running game. Usually I wear a 12 extra wide in all of my shoes. The brooks 2E seemed tight so I ordered a 4E. These shoes have more room in the toe box than I am used to, and they feel a little long compared to my usual 12s. I know size varies amongst brands. These shoes have a slight bend of the material on the right side when standing. Middle picture is my foot bending. I have a little over a thumbs width at the toes. Maybe I’m overthinking this? They feel decent on my feet and don’t really slide.

I burned out my Brook Glycerins pretty bad, and switched back to the Ghost 17s shortly before attending EAA AirVenture in Oshkosh.

I had an issue with the insole, and Brooks support was absolutely awesome, and I'm notlw rocking some Ghost 18s in a sweet "Mr Rogers" blue.

I've already managed to log several miles running laps around the hangers while my son in up flying.

I just wanted to give the Brooks support team a huge shout out!

Both pairs are glycerin 21s
Left pair has 550 miles, right pair bought today at a garage sale, seem to be less worn
Just curious, excited to have found this pair of shoes in such good condition

Bought my first pairs couple of days ago(glycerin max and 23) now I see what my co-workers are talking about. There’s something about Brooks haha

Just dropping by to say that these are the sexiest things I’ve ever seen on my life. Got a PB the first time I wore them. Love the colour “pink clay/atomizer blue. Plus they cost a mere $120. Thank you Brooks.

Love these shoes but these appeared… is there any way to repair the damage /protect another pair??

Hi, I bought 2 pair of Brooks adrenaline GTS 24 shoes in April for the wife and I to wear while walking the dog . They have approximately 150 km (90 miles) of use . My wife's shoes have heavy wear marks near the ball of the foot area. I was wondering if there is a better model shoe for her to wear or another solution that may prevent this. Thanks
