Purchased this with doubt: fit/size and comfort.Received it today after purchasing it a week ago.GREAT BUY! Very comfortable insole, my arches are supported and they are easy to walk in. Just wish they had my size in the Chocolate and Black. I am hooked on these shoes... I will not hesitate to purchase another pair should it become available.

Men's Garmont Flash Hiking Brooks Men's Glycerin 8 Running Shoe (Misc.) I'm a neutral runner and get about 20-25 miles a week in. Before trying the Glycerin 8's, I had gone through several New Balance models. I had been mostly satisfied with NB's but never found that "perfect" one, so after visiting a running store they recommended this model. I would agree that overall this is a very comfortable, solid running shoe. They felt great on my feet, although I needed to go up a half size as they are a little snug through the middle. They are light, have really good cushioning and support, and at least for a while, they felt great to run in.I took away a star because these did not seem to last as long as I would have liked. It seemed like after only a month or so, the cushioning decline was noticeable. Other models I've used did not seem to lose the cushioning as fast. It is hard to say whether this would be a universal experience, it seems like so much of grading running shoes is subjective to the individual. (Also, I'm a bigger guy at 6'0 / 200 lbs, so the "perfect" shoe may not exist for me.)I got these at a store when they were new and paid $125, they would certainly be worth it to get at a discounted price since newer models have come out. As with any shoe purchase, it's probably a good idea to try them on before buying online. I still rotate this pair in occasionally as they still get the job done, but I would have liked that "running on air" feeling to last a little longer than it did. Overall, a comfortable, well-made shoe. And as with any good running shoe, even when the padding wears out they are still a comfortable, everyday shoe for casual use.
