Review: Brooks Glycerin 9

I went to Infinity Sports House(Level 4), The Mines, Seri Kembangan last Wednesday. Don't go looking for the directory because somehow they are hopeless (except for the directory on the 4th floor)

Summary of my visit, running shoes available - I tried on Asics Gel Nimbus, Nike Pegasus, Brooks Glycerin 9 and a few others. If this is a blind date, Brooks gave a really good first impression.

But I didn't buy the shoes at the Mines (which made all the above information seemed insignificant and pointless, haha!). Anyway, went back to Ipoh and bought Brooks Glycerin at Jusco for MYR399 (after discount).

My opinion / review on Brooks Glycerin:

• very comfortable, cushy feeling
• would be helpful if they are lighter
• performance wise; I don't know why, I get tired easily with Brooks (probably the weight)

I tried running on barefoot, in terms of distance, I could run further and I don't get tired easily.
I tried on all other shoes I have; Reebok classic, Puma, Adidas, Brooks and also tried running on barefoot. Whenever I reach the 3 km mark, my right foot (big toe area) hurts. I am guessing it must be the way I run or maybe my right foot is not built to run (sob sob..) Will have to see a doctor or physiotherapist or specialist to get a proper diagnosis / advice.
Wish me luck on training for the Energizer Night Race.
