Am looking to get one of the above. Does anyone know much about the difference between these three pairs of shoes?

Epiphany's suck, Glycerin will last about 100 miles longer then the Radius but both a great shoe.
What don't you like about the Epiphany?
I agree the Epiphany is way too much shoe and not flexible enough for me--now if you are an older dude or a larger framed guy this might be the way to go.
Still the Glycerin or the Radius are both GREAT shoes and I am on my 5th or 6th Radius and have run in the Glycerin recently--good cushioning and still supportive--you can just pound out your daily mileage in either of these shoes. Glycerin are a bit more firm than the Radius--the new Radius ('06?) are more firm than the pervious versions and so very similar to the Glycerin.
Not really flexible enough for your fast days--try the Burns for tempo/threshold stuff.
Thanks- I'm currently wearing the Burns for all my mileage, but I'm feeling a little beat up, so I wanted something with a little more substance for my daily stuff. I'll keep using the Burns for track/tempo/Marathon, but maybe will try the Glycerin or Radius for the rest.
The radius feels like a tank. They work, but very bulky. I run everything in the burns(up to about 120 a week), and they only last about 6-8 weeks before the outside edge blows through. I have also been thinking about the Glycerin. I know a few guys who are running in that and like it.
the epiphany is being discontinued i believe, so if you want a shoe you can run in more than one version of, go with one of the others. both good shoes.
We did a review recently of the Glycerin if you're interested:

If you want specific feedback on the Radius or have additional questions on the Glycerin, let me know and I'll have our footwear buyer respond.
