Brooks Glycerin 18 Shoe | First Look Review

*Production stack heights/weights may differ from the preliminary data listed here.

Fans of the Brooks Glycerin will be pleased to learn that the latest version of this shoe will provide the same premium, super-comfortable feel as previous iterations. Slight changes to the midsole will offer a slightly softer sensation, while small improvements to the upper will make the fit and feel even more luxurious.

Version 18 of the Glycerin uses the same DNA Loft foam as the previous model, but adjustments with the midsole-to-outsole ratio now allow for even more cushioning and softer experience. This softer underfoot feel will be complemented by the same responsive energy return as the previous version.

With minor changes in the outsole, the overall experience should remain very similar to version 17. Rubber placement has been slightly changed and flex grooves were improved to provide an even smoother heel-to-toe transition.

The Glycerin 18 is built around plush comfort and the upper of this shoe reflects that as well. Its double jacquard mesh offers more stretch for a better fit, and the soft material offers a luxurious experience for any distance on the roads.
