About Brooks Running
Shoes for road and trail
The Glycerin family includes the Glycerin 23, the GTS 23, Glycerin Flex and Glycerin Max 2, all built around soft cushioning. Trail shoes are made for rougher ground. Brooks develops its products through research and testing in its own lab, aiming for a balance of softness, support and responsiveness.
Clothing and extras
Apparel covers breathable tops, shorts, tights and lightweight jackets in moisture-wicking fabrics, with outerwear for colder or wetter runs. Socks and hats complete the kit. Brooks says it is committed to carbon neutral operations and is working on more sustainable materials.
