Size and Fit of the Men’s Brooks Glycerin 16
General Size and Fit
There’s two different width sizes available in the Brooks Glycerin 16 for men, but when selecting from the available shoe sizes, remember to go up one half size from what you normally wear.
Upper
The new, Double Jacquard mesh is leaving fans in awe. Engineered with extreme precision, the upper in the men’s Brooks Glycerin 16 gives you a more breathable and flexible structure than ever before.
Midsole
The midsole in the Glycerin 16 is integrated with DNA Loft cushioning, a technology that melds DNA foam, rubber, and air for a bouncy ride, customly contoured to the shape of your foot.
Outsole
You can see the exposed cushioning in the lateral midfoot of the Glycerin 16 outsole, which is surrounded by tons of soft rubber stretched across the bottom surface for ample traction. Slick surfaces are no match for this monster-strong grip.
