I recently totted up my steps and realised I’m walking 100km a month on average while testing shoes for my best walking shoe guide.
My favourite shoe to walk in is the Brooks Glycerin 22, which wears the crown as the best walking shoe overall and has a rare five-star rating. I don’t award perfect scores lightly, so you know it really is the best of the best.
With the recent release of the Glycerin 23, discounts have been popping up on the older generation of the shoe. You can get a pair for just $105.98 at Amazon.
I’m usually fairly faithful to my favorites, and was loath to replace the previous frontrunner, the Hoka Bondi 8.
But when the Brooks Glycerin came out this time last year, I was convinced I had finally found a worthy successor.
I tested the Glycerin 21 the year before and liked it, but didn’t love it. The Glycerin 22, on the other hand stole my heart away from the Hoka Bondi completely.
As a road-running shoe, it’s got a surprising amount of energy return and bounce for the amount of midsole foam it has, with a natural feel that makes it a great choice for walking.
If you work on your feet or regularly walk on hard surfaces, the Glycerin 22 is perfect for you. Even after hours on my feet, they remain comfortable and cool, and my feet are free from blisters.
