Brooks Running is an American company specializing in high-performance running shoes, apparel, and accessories designed for road, trail, and track athletes. Founded in 1914 and headquartered in Seattle, Washington, the brand initially produced a range of footwear before focusing exclusively on running gear in the early 2000s. Brooks is recognized for innovations in biomechanics and cushioning technology, such as its DNA LOFT and GuideRails systems, which aim to optimize comfort and injury prevention. The company operates as a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway and emphasizes sustainability through initiatives like recycled materials and carbon-neutral product lines.
When I mentioned I was looking for a new pair of running shoes, Brooks shoes were highly recommended to me by my brother-in-law, 📝Seth Cooper, and my Dad, 📝Ron "Dad" Swichkow—as well as 📝Reddit when I did my own research.
I ended up getting a pair of Glycerin Stealth Fit 22 and love them so far.
