Review on Brooks Glycerin Black Ebony 10 5 Sports & Fitness and Running by Dan Worku

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The pad design over the Achilles tendon rubs the skin until it bleeds.

I had seven pairs of Brooks Glycerin - 15 (two pairs), 16 (two pairs), 17 (two pairs) and 19 (one pair). This review is for the Model 19. The heel design appears to be more forward-leaning, and the padding around the Achilles tendon feels firmer, and the fabric isn't as slick as previous models. I've worn my new Glycerin 19s for six runs totaling 27 miles and I've had enough shoes. I have to halve my mileage and only run every three to four days because the shoes rub on my Achilles tendon. Very disappointed because the early Glycerins were great shoes.

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something
