This shoe has been fantastic for me so far and I'm 400 miles in on the shoes, so a pretty trial so far! They are holding up great with only minor wear and tear on the bottom. I mostly run on pavement/asphalt, and the Glycerin seem to persevere on that material very well. They cost $160 , which is expensive to me but also pretty standard for running shoes nowadays. I like these Brooks Glycerin 21 better than my previous Hoka Rincon 3's - in which I wore for 3 pairs and over 1000k miles before switching to Brooks.

Love this shoe. A ton of cush and still can hit a decent pace (for me).

Brooks absolutely nailed this. I like max cushion for easy days to help the joints recover and this is the perfect shoe for it. Brooks shoes are extremely durable so I expect this'll last a long time as usual. Wish there was more than 1 color so I could get 2 to rotate between without forgetting which is which. Bit expensive, maybe it'll get cheaper over time
