Happy 3 mile 4 day/wk rinner w wide foot
Love the Glycerin size 10 wide for men 10 mm drop extra cushion. My first extra cushion shoe. The fit is great the cushion is great. Liking the fact that my usually sore always wide right foot is comfortable with the width and the cushion. Also have had history of calf strain but for whatever reason (could be the 10mm drop) no issues.

Melted in dryer
Show are very comfortable but they got wet the first week and I put them in the dryer. The dryer left melted spots all on the sole so don’t dry them!!

Perfect fit for 2E with cushioning
I have run in a previous version of Glycerins. These fit perfectly and have the right amount of cushioning for longer runs. May order another pair soon.
