introduction
The Brooks Glycerin 7 is a maximum featured neutral shoe designed for runners with neutral pronation or slight under pronation (supination). As a result of the midsole and cushioning technologies, the Glycerin 7 is engineered for high mileage or larger runners and is built with a semi-curved shape.

cushioning

Hydroflow ST-XL is located in the heel and is a large cushioning device which consists of a chamber filled with viscous fluid. Hydroflow ST-XL is designed to attenuate shock, dampen impact forces and provide added heel stability. E1 Fusion is sandwiched in the heel and is a gel material that helps dampen forces upon heel impact. Forefoot Hydroflow is located where the metatarsal head region of the foot rests in the shoe. Forefoot Hydroflow is designed to attenuate shock and dampen forces.

midsole

BioMoGo is Brook's premium midsole material. BioMoGo is designed to offer resilient cushioning and extends the full length of the midsole. BioMoGo is also environmentally friendly, as it will biodegrade 50 times faster in a landfill compared to traditional foam midsoles. DRB Accel is located at the bottom of the midsole in the midfoot. DRB Accel is an injected thermoplastic polyurethane unit which is intended to balance support and torsional rigidity with responsiveness for smooth and fast heel-to-toe movement.

upper

Element Mesh is a moisture-managing, breathable mesh that covers large expanses of the upper. Synthetic Overlays are strategically located with the purpose of providing a secure fit. Element Linings lie along the underside of the upper to aid in moisture transfer and comfort. Ortholite Sockliner is an anti-microbial and moisture wicking insole that promotes a healthy environment for feet. Cushole S-257 Last utilizes a full length layer of advanced foam to provide cushioning and flexibility.

outsole
HPR Plus is a form of high abrasion-resistant rubber and is located in the heel. Flexalon Rubber Forefoot further enhances the flexibility and responsiveness of the shoe. Cush Pod Configuration is a midsole/outsole design pattern intended to set the foot up for an efficient, balanced position from heel to toe. The focus of this design is on maximum cushioning and flexibility.

feedback for Brooks Glycerin 7 Men's Shoes Wh/Sl/BK/Gold:

Comments: I am a 190 pound mid-foot striker with a high arch and a slight pronation issue with my left foot only, which is controlled with a mild orthotic correction. I only have 15 miles on them, so this is primarily a first impression. First, the pluses... Excellent cushioning properties... softer than the Mizuno Creation, comparable to the Triumph and not a soft as the Vomero... For me. Just the right feel... a Cadillac. The Glycerin 7 might feel a little heavy for somebody under 175 pounds. The responsiveness is above average, I think. My only suggestion to Brooks for improvement would be a slightly higher arch profile in the mid-foot, but all in all, you will get your money's worth with this shoe. My minimal orthotic its fine but it might not work for some. Overall, I recommend this shoe.
