Brooks is renowned for making top-notch shoes and I'm a fan myself. The Glycerin Max tops my guide to the best walking shoes, as the best all-rounder, and the Glycerin 21 itself features as the best Brooks walking shoe, with a steller 4.5 stars
The Glycerin 22 has just gone on sale and whenever the next generation is released, you can rely on the previous iteration to see discounts. And just like clockwork the Glycerin 21 is reduced at REI.
When I tested the Glycerin 21 I was impressed with its performance, bounce and comfort. I didn't get on with the Ghost range by Brooks, so my expectations were low: sometimes you just don't get on with a brand. However, the Glycerin 21 outperformed many of the other shoes in the guide, earning a 4.5 out of 5 stars.
I tested the Glycerin Max several months later and found my perfect match: like the Glycerin 21 but with the skyscraper-like stacking I love in a walking shoe.
I'll be testing the Gylcerin 22 at some point soon, so stay tuned to see how it fares against the competition (and its predecessor, the 21).
