Brooks running shoes
A list of running shoes that will meet the needs of a large number of runners, because if the American brand stands out for something it is to offer shoes with a good dose of cushioning, comfort and responsiveness in running.

Best Brooks running shoes in 2024
Iconic Brooks models such as the Glycerin, the Adrenaline or the Ghost are some of the names you can find in the following selection, so don't miss a detail of this list with the most outstanding silhouettes of 2024!
Brooks Glycerin Max
Everything is maximized in the new Brooks Glycerin Max. Comfort and performance reach their maximum expression. The main novelty of the Brooks Glycerin Max is the incorporation of the innovative DNA Tuned technology. This new midsole, with a nitrogen-infused compound optimized with cells of different sizes, works in harmony to offer the best of both worlds: cushioning on landing and quick response at toe-off. In addition, the unique GlideRoll Rocker, with completely redesigned geometries, ensures smooth transitions from heel to toe, reducing muscle fatigue. The midsole is 18% bio-based, which significantly reduces carbon emissions compared to traditional foams while the height is 35 millimeters in the heel and 29 millimeters in the forefoot. That is, 6 millimeters of drop that perfectly complements its light weight of only 269 grams for women and 298 for men.
