Brooks Running Shoes

Brooks Running, officially Brooks Sports, Inc., is a Seattle-based company founded in 1914, historically manufacturing athletic footwear before focusing exclusively on running in 2001. Now a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway, Brooks has established itself as the leader in the specialty running shoe market, offering innovative technology and a strong reputation among both podiatrists and the running community.

Brooks shoes are organized into three main performance categories: Cushion, Energy, and Speed. Cushion models like the Glycerin series (now up to Glycerin 22 and GTS 22) offer plush nitrogen-infused foam, soft transitions, and excellent shock absorption, making them ideal for daily runners or those who prioritize comfort and durability. Energy shoes, such as the Levitate, provide responsive bounce and a springy ride, while Speed-focused runners might opt for models like Hyperion Tempo and Hyperion Elite, which deliver lightweight agility and efficiency — especially useful for speed workouts and race-day performance.

Two standout are the Ghost 16/17 and the Glycerin 22. The Ghost 16, recently on sale, is celebrated for its balanced mid-level cushioning, breathable uppers, and versatility—podiatrists recommend it for walking, running, and even extended periods of standing or travel. Its successor, the Ghost 17, builds on that with improved heel/toe cushioning, enhanced structure, and a lightweight design at roughly 9 ounces — offering a snug, supportive fit across various widths and colorways.. Meanwhile, the Glycerin 22 is widely ranked as Brooks’ best overall option in independent tests, combining high stack height midsole comfort, durable traction, and smooth cushioning transitions for long-distance reliability.
