Note: I purchased these at my local running shop.<br />I have worn Brooks Glycerin for years but the newest model just didn't feel right. I am a distance walker averaging 8 miles per day.<br />I was reluctant about ANY shoe coming close to that of my beloved Glycerins - was I wrong!!!<br />These are my new faves and I purchased 2 other colors- the onyx/silver and the purple/black/green. Each paIr is as cushiony as marshmall
