padded. I tried Hoka but it wasn't the right fit for me so Brooks is where I landed and I have been happy ever since.

which Hoka did you try? Lots of different stack heights. Tried Altra? The Glycerin has a 32/22 stack height

I’m also an Adrenaline user. But if padding is the goal, they aren’t really comparable to Hoka imo.

Was just going to say this. It is a great shoe. I just got them, and my few runs have been nice.

good shock absorption? Do the promote ball of foot strike?

The foam is great for cushion, but I've never found a shoe that has done much for improving

For your back, do lots of planks and hamstring stretches.

Shoes with elevated heels make this happen. Try a zero drop shoe that is well cushioned = best of both worlds.
