tends to deteriorate. I used some minimalist shoes about 10 years ago that were great for my form , but I hated them and my back still hurt.

Tried Hoka and they were OK. Looking at Glycerin 17. Anyone have thoughts

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

I love my Brooks Adrenaline. They have some good support and are pretty well

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

Have you considered your running form? Natural/pose form can reduce a lot of

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