Smoothest running experience so far.
I've been using the Asics nimbus line since the 14. I honestly loved the nimbus shoe until they released 18, which is when the size began to be a half size smaller than normal, cushioning much stiffer than older models and the fore foot gel portion of the mid sole breaking apart before the shoe was even worn out. I did some research on what brands were equal or similar to the nimbus line and here I am about to review the Brooks Glycerin 15. For starters these feel amazing. I feel in comparison the nimbus they are much more roomier in the toe box. The arch support also has adequate cushioning. The DNA mid sole is nice and plush during runs. They are also surprisingly light for the weight they are advertised at. So far I've only put about 4 miles of steady paced running on them, but they feel magnificent. I'll definitely revise or update this review after some more miles of running, but my initial impressions is that these are a better quality shoe than Asics. One small note before I end this small review is that it's best to order a half size up from what you normally wear.

My favorite shoes
I will always buy these shoes. I do a lot in them so they wear down. Ive bought maybe 2 pairs so far. Still wearing my second for almost 4 years now. When i got my second pair i removed the cushion from the old shoe and put it in my work boots. That made them way more comfy.

Men's Glycerin 15
I wear a women's size 10 shoe and was having trouble getting my size once they went on sale! I tried a Men's 8.5D in they Adrenaline GTS 17 at Academy and they fit well with extra support. I really wanted the Glycerin 15 and could not find it anywhere in my size. When I decided to check Amazon for the men's size - I found it right away and it was on sale! I purchased them and got them in two days. I work at Home Depot and I am on my feet all day. These shoes are SO comfortable I will probably order another pair when I get my next paycheck. I LOVE THESE SHOES!!

Maybe build the sides up a bit more to better handle quick side to side changes of direction
fits well with soft insole as expected but needs to improve on having more stability for side to side exercise movements and not just running to be worth the high cost of the shoes. Maybe build the sides up a bit more to better handle quick side to side changes of direction.

Ok, but not worth it compared to competition
I wanted to like these, but the suposed super cushioning is just not there compared to Adidas Boost or Hoka ones. Plus, it fits more like a traditional shoe instead of the sock like fit of the others. Lastly, if you have low ankles and cant stand the lip hitting your ankle, these shoes are not for you!

Great shows, bought again.
So I bought these exact shoes in August 2017 and bought the same pair again in June 2018...which mean's I enjoyed them.I wore them almost every day for work and ran/walked probably around 250+ miles in them on top of a 50 hour work week average.They survived, pretty well, even with my tough feet (high arches) and work environment.The fit is as expected and the wear was much slower than most shoes I've had including Asics and other Brooks shoes.Comfort is wonderful too, I replaced the insole about 8 months in due to wear.I would buy again (and did).

Glycerin 15 treats your feet WONDERFUL
12 miles right out of the box. Zero issues. I do like the extra padding/comfort at the heel, personally. This was a great improvement, as my feet testify. I hope they keep this padding in the future.Yes, get 1/2 size larger than the Glycerin 14 shoe, as others have noted. Strings stay tight.For anyone who used the Sketcher Resistance Runner (thousands of near 5 star ratings) before they quit making it...the Glycerin 15 is an excellent replacement. Sketchers messed up big time, to stop making that excellent shoe and then go "minimalist". Their loss because my feet lost! Well, I now have a good replacement...finally.
