Any one in here doing any wear testing for Brooks? Just curious because I just received a pair of Glycerin 9's to test. Anyone else have a set of these and what are your thoughts so far about them?

Well, for starters, to become a wear tester you signed an agreement you wouldn't discuss the shoes. So you should send them back explaining how you broke the agreement because you are a recreational "jogger" who cannot keep your mouth shut about a free pair of shoes.
Yeah, I'm testing them now, too. First few runs they feel softer and higher off the ground that the 8's. Could be that mine are compressed a little, but they still have less than 100 miles on them. Fit is nice. Very plush uppers.
You guys aren't supposed to talk about the shoes you are testing.
1. It isn't public info yet.
2. It interferes with the review of the shoes.

Do shoe reviews just write this for the hobby joggers' sake...what does that phrase even mean?
It means you can tell you're going to have to pay a lot for them because they put adn extra $0.03 worth of fluff into the collar and used a more dense mesh that feels higher quality.
And you can't tell me what I can and can't do! You're not my real dad!
What color'd you get? I have the reddish-maroon trim ones. I'll call it "Rust."
I will LMFAO if they read this thread and only sent out 1 pair in that color.
Well it also looks like somebody scribbled a #14 on the foam by the heel. That's weird...

Mine have purple laces though, what color are yours?
Leopard-print. They're alright though because they're the sausage link style ones that don't come untied. The tongues are a little too poofy for my liking, though.
