Brooks Women's Glycerin 15 Running Shoes - Lightweight Cushioned Sneakers for Women, Road & Trail Running, Gym Workouts, Jogging & Daily Comfort Wear

I am normally an 8.5 in Brooks, and the 8.5 in this style fit really well and there was plenty of room in the toe box. In regular shoes, I am between a 7.5 and 8, but always go up at least half a size for my workout/active shoes. The cushioning on these is fantastic and they are very sturdy. I am a nurse, so I am on my feet 12+ hours a day, my feet still ache at the end of the day, but less when wearing these. No shoes are ever going to make my feet not hurt with all the standing and walking I do, I have accepted that. I have to say out of the Adrenaline (I use mainly for running) and Launch, these are my favorite to work in as the cushion is a lot softer and bouncier.I would order a half size up. I typically wear a size 8 in most running shoes but had to return this for a size 8.5. I normally wear a Saucony running sneaker which typically has a large toebox. I found that this toebox is not as wide as most Saucony models but was not restricting. This sneakers is very comfortable. It has a lot of cushion and great treads. The shoe is deep enough to allow me to put in my insoles for Morton's Neuroma right on top of the existing insoles without sacrificing comfort or fit. This is my very first time wearing a Brooks shoe since my allegiance has always been with Saucony but I am very happy with the fit and comfort of this shoe.Ive been in pain for so long. I was hopeful but very sceptic. I was worried about paying this much on a pair of shoes and having them be a huge disappointment. I have Plantar Fascitis and am diabetic. It is hard to find a cute and functional shoe but I did!! I would say ive noticed a 70% reduction in pain in my arches and heels. Its been a huge deal for me. I can walk my dog again without crippling pain. I can go to the grocery store with a lot less pain! I have four kids and Im 34 I was so sick of feeling like an elderly lady that should be using a motorized cart at the store. Totally worth the price!!I love brooks glycerins. I have been wearing them for the past 7 years. They usually last me 700-900 miles. They have lots of cushion so it does add a little weight to the shoe but I like them. Have done 5k-100k races in them. Just remember every foot is different so what works for me may not work for you.I had high hopes for these shoes. I have always been an Asics fan but recently I have found that they do not fit the way they used to. I always preferred the Gel-Nimbus and it just isn't comfortable anymore. My sister recommended Brooks and I liked the reviews of the Glycerin 15. I am picky so I knew that I would have to purchase a higher end variety within the brand. I was disappointed. I love the color (I am a nurse and thought these would coordinate with most of my scrubs), but these shoes did not fit true to size. I found the toe box a bit tight and my great toe would touch the top of the shoe when walking. I ended up going to a sporting goods store that carried the Brooks line and tried a half size larger. It was better but I ended up getting the Ghost 10. I found it much roomer in the toe box and was true to size. And less expensive. So unfortunately I am returning this shoe.I thought it would be a bit more comfortable but its pretty good . you NEED to order this at least 1/2 size bigger and even that, it will hurt at the start till you walk w/ it for an hour or so. I just got it and walked w/ it this morning a bit , so I will see how it will fit tomorrow . I got it 1/2 size bigger since they had run out of my size and I figure if it was too big I just returned it. So I was astonished as how small it was and tight . I was in pain the 1st 10 minute . Same thing thing also happened to my friend as well who just ordered it and got it and he returned it ,to get a size up. .They are great! I have been wearing the Glycerin 14 and just loved them but they must be fazing them out. I couldn't find them in my size so I decided to try the Glycerin 15's and so glad that I did. I have a high arch and these shoes are made for women with high arches. They are just as comfortable and supportive as the Glycerin 14s. I am so glad I tried Brooks shoes, these are the best athletic shoes I have ever worn because they support my arches. I would recommend them to any one with high arches.Writing this as I bought these for my wife last week to replace her worn Glycerin 13's. She's had multiple pairs of 12's and 13's before these.So far she has loved them, roughly 20 miles into ownership. She said they do not require any break-in. Fit an finish is excellent and inline with the previous Glycerin's she's owned. She runs an average of 15-20 miles a week and gets a new pair about once a year. She also does several bootcamp style classes a week, and she uses these for those too. She highly recommends them for running due to their strong build quality, functionality and aesthetics.They are Brooks running shoes. Enough said :-) Seriously though, these are so comfortable. Recommended to me by Brooks themselves at the Loch Ness Marathon last year, I've bought exactly the same again as I love them. Really cushioned and fabulous to wear. I ran the marathon in them the day after I bought them (which I know I shouldn't have!) but they were brilliant. I've always loved Brooks, but these are definitely my favourites.In everyday shoes I'm a size 5, running shoes a size 5.5 - these 5.5 Brooks runners were too small so I went for the size 6 which fit fine with a little bit of space for warm feet to swell! Lovely looking shoe with fantastic cushioning!Absolutley brilliant shoes. My wifes podiatrist recommended because of the tight heel and big heel drop and flexible toe end. My wife says for her, with her feet, these are the best ever.I stopped running due to knee pain caused by constant jarring on pavements.... These shoes are the softest, most comfortable and well built running shoe I have ever worn. I can actually run again - the cushioning is top class.Really comfortable. Would buy again. Only negative is I can feel the edge of shoe between the insole and edge of shoe when running.
