The Brooks Glycerin series continues with its 9th version, the Glycerin 9. Brooks raises the bar in comfort for its high-mileage, plush neutral trainer by incorporating full-length DNA in the midsole for an adaptable ride. The Glycerin 9 also incorporates Omega grooves, which enhances flexibility and efficiency through the gait cycle. The upper material construction flows with the movement of the foot, while simultaneously keeping the midfoot secure. The Glycerin 9 is quite possibly the best version to date.
