Brooks is known for its highly stable shoes, thanks to its cushioned-yet-firm midsole that locks your feet in place when hitting the pavement. But the Glycerin line is especially great at motion control, and has been approved by the American Podiatric Medical Association as a shoe that promotes good foot health. “I find myself reaching for these shoes for a variety of runs and activities including treadmill jogs, longer distance road runs, or even walks with my dog,” wrote one tester in her review of the best motion control shoes.

Plus, WH advisor Nellie Barnett, NASM, dubbed it the absolute best running shoe for long distances. “The heel stack and heel-to-toe drop stand out for helping me settle into a rhythm early on during runs—the bouncy cushioning makes hitting and maintaining my stride much easier while sparing my knees from impact,” she wrote in her extensive review.
