New Glycerin 22 Review

Great shoes, I really enjoy the new Glycerin 22s. There is one issue I do have though, the toebox is a bit small/narrow rubbing against my big toes. I have done a few runs, for 2 miles not noticeable. But when I go 4 miles or more my big toe starts to hurt pretty bad. I have many other pairs of Brooks Adrenline, Hyperion Max 3, Hyperion Elite 5, older Brooks Glycerins in same size 8s without issue. I wish the toe box was just a little bit bigger not by much. Hopefully I can get a few more runs in as I only have a handful so far, hopefully they break in. Overall outstanding shoes great for high milage or slow recovery runs. The cushion is perfect and it is very stable at slower paces. I would recommend sizing up by half a size if you purchase these shoes.
