I have been searching over a year now for a brand and style shoe that fits well, lasts longer than 4 - 6 months and does not further injure my plantar fasciitis. I walk 3+ miles everyday and having the right shoe is critical to keeping up with my routine. Thank you to a helpful sales associate who suggested the Brooks Glycerin 22! This shoe fits perfectly, is supportive, just the right amount and Luckyy57 · dickssportinggoods.com

Used these as my go-to shoe to train for an ultrarun and eventually also ran the full ultra (101km along the French coastline with varying terrain: asphalt, gravel, loose rocks, …) with them. Very steady shoe, felt super comfortable throughout the full race. Wouter B · asics.com
