I just picked up a pair of the new Brooks Gylcerin and I've got to say I really like the feel. I had one problem though when i was running in them, and wanted to see if you guys had any advice.

I've been running in the Asics Nimbus and usually get 12s in those but I needed something now and I wanted to try out something new until the next model comes out in May. The Gylcerin feel great but I had a little problem with tightness. I had to use the extra set of lace holes to pull back my toes a little bit in the 12s. I didn't want to go up to the 12.5 cause i don't want my feet sliding around. The problem I had was the laces were short with that slot used and I had to pull them pretty tight to get them tied. Tying them that tight doesn't really work because I ended up ripping up the back of my heel a little. I was just gonna pick up new laces, but I looked on Brooks website and they say that they recommend going up a size from your dress shoe size (12 for me). So my question was do you guys usually go up a size from your normal size with Brooks shoes?

The fit was great if I didn't have to pull the things so tight so I'm just leaning towards longer laces but I wanted to see what others had to say. I just got them and my running store does exchanges for 15 days and refunds for a little after that.

Thanks for the help
