I love the shoes. Love them. I am so glad the Zappos associate pointed them out to me after I had a hard time finding an Asics I wanted in correct size/color.
Brands I'd also recommend: Asics NImbus for running and Addidas campus/gazells for casual

Just wore out a pair of Brooks Dyad 6's. Was wanting a shoe with a little more arch support. I am a large frame (6'1 at 225) runner. Always have a problem finding just the right shoes for running. Brooks are the only ones that come close. I really need forefoot cushioning. Didn't really feel comfortable paying a lot for a pair of running shoes, but after the first run in them I feel a little better about it. Plenty of forefoot cushioning at the beginning and end of a 5 mile run. Impressed with the heel cushioning too. Usually have to slow down on the downhills because of the jarring on my joints but these shoes let me let it go down hill. The shoes feel lighter than my Dyads and look a lot cooler too. If they last as long as the Dyads did I will be OK with the price. Brooks have never let me down on their durability. Might have found my new favorite running shoes. If you are a big neutral runner with normal arches these are the shoes for you.

Great shoe. 3 time Brooks Glycerin generation dating back to version 7. Appears to be similar (which I love), but just different colors. This is shoe that I wear with any walking, running, and casual. Buy just about all my shoes from Zappos.com and tell people all the time about the company. Thank you!

Super comfortable shoe (the Glycerins always are) except for something is rubbing in the toebox of the left shoe. Not had this problem before with Glycerins, maybe it's just a fluke with this particular pair. I hope so, because otherwise they are great!

Very fine running and walking show. As a person over 270lbs, with a neutral arch (with little pronation concerns); I have found that the DNA construction offers a great ride when jogging. But the color options red and lime green are terrible.

Great shoe! Love running in this shoe, it is nice and soft through the mid and forefoot. I ended up having to get this shoe in a wide though I have run in Asics for years and they are a little narrow in the toe box compared to them. Went with the wide and they feel great.
Brands I'd also recommend: Baliga socks

The Glycerin line has a history of producing quality shoes and this latest offering does not disappoint. It is stable, well vented, light, and the cushioning does its job great!

Probably the best pair of shoes I ever purchased. If you're a "heavy" runner, you'll love the cushion these shoes provide!

Thought they couldn't top the Glycerin 8, but I was wrong. Handles long runs quite well. Pretty quick break in period. Actually ran (somewhat unexpectedly) a cross country race last weekend and it handled the terrain quite well. Excellent neutral running shoe.

New to training so went to a local running specialty store for shoe type recommendations. Found out I was a "neutral" runner. Eventually tried shoes from a bunch of companies (Nike, Brooks, Saucony, Mizuno, Asics) and found this one to be the best of the bunch. Very comfortable and love the red colorway. Will continue to buy Glycerin products in the future!
Brands I'd also recommend: Asics Nimbus 13, Balega running socks

After reading the reviews I bought these for comfort and support. The shoes are amazingly comfortable, however they the uppers are really flimsy. I wore through the big toe area for the left shoe in less than a week, and the right shoe in less than two weeks. I was very disappointed with the durability of the uppers. For such a plus ride, my shoes will not last long enough to be useful.

I have tried many brands of running shoes...this by far is the best...no break-in time just put them on and go. My only complaint is I wish they would offer this line in other accent colors; a bit more subdued. I'm not 18 looking to have my feet be the "end-all cool" of my attire...I am 52 and don't need to "pop" while I run/walk. With size 14 feet they standout on their own just fine! Despite the lack of good color selection they are a good find. They deliver quality, support and are one of the best lines out on the market.

Wow! A shoe for an under-pronator in a 10.5 narrow! And the most comfortable shoe I have ever put on? This is really incredible. It's such a joy to have a shoe that fits so well and suits my foot mechanics. I am so excited to expand my running with this awesome shoe. I've been making do with Nikes before now...don't think I'll ever go back. Well worth the price. Thank you Zappos!

Perhaps the best running shoe I have owned. Shoe fit great out of the box and has been a warrior during my P90x workouts. Decided to pick up the lime green pair as well.

Already had the green ones so no real surprises here. I love these shoes, and will continue to use them until I find something better. I guess my only real complaint is that they take a couple of runs to break in, then they feel extremely comfortable and supportive.

I have been a Brooks fan for the last 6 years. These are the best Brooks I have worn so far. They are extremely comfortable and lightweight. Perfect for a walking or running shoe. I even use them for cross tranining without issue. Highly recommended. They look awesome too!
