RUNNER'S WORLD 2015 Fall Shoe Guide is out and Brooks Running shoes have taken 2 places in the top 5! Great job Brooks!
There are many new models, styles, and redo's in the Fall 2015 guide! And, BROOKS leads the way. Taking the coveted #1 Editor's Choice Award is Brooks Ghost 8, selling at a suggested price of $120-$130, with enhanced, engineered comfort and stability! Looks great, too! I love the splashy colors as much as the newly engineered mesh top. I've never worn the Ghost model but Jonathan Beverly and Martyn Shorten, PHD describe the changes as, "mesh that is supportive in some areas and softer in others, making this stable and cushioned shoe more comfy."
Brooks Ghost weighs in at 8.8 ounces and it is specifically designed for medium to to high arches. One of my favorite Brooks features in the sole treading. The Ghost tread features a segmented tread to give a soft but stable foot landing every time.
INTRODUCING: THE GHOST 8 |
The Glycerin 13 hails in with upgrades in tread, flexibility, and continued reliability. Runner's World 2015 Fall Shoe Guide authors describe it very well by stating, "The Glycerin 13 is a shoe that coddles while delivering high performance." I like that feature. Sort of reminds me of the Goldilocks Locks and 3 Bears Story. When the little bear found the right size rocking chair, he said it was, "Just right." Not that I am bearish, but that's how I feel about the Glycerin! They're just right.
Introducing: The Glycerin 13
Brooks describes what I characterize as, "just right fit, as: "Underfoot, the Super DNA midsole provides 25% more cushion than our
regular DNA for the ultimate in soft rides. Ideal Pressure Zones in the
outsole optimize disperse impact away from the body and the rounded heel
helps keep your body in its Ideal alignment. Great description of a shoe fit to provide the best care for those serious about running! Pricing out at $150 for these at 9.3 ounces and worth every dollar.
