Customer Reviews Brooks Glycerin 12

I suppenate so I need a "neutral" shoe. I tried this at my local store, but they didn't have my size in the color I wanted. This shoe is perfect. It holds my foot in a better alignment, and the colors are so fun. Love it.

I love these shoes. They are so comfortable, with tons of cushion and support. It feels like I am walking on (very supportive) marshmallows. I can go for miles and miles without my feet getting tired or hurting. I bought this pair to replace an older pair of Brooks, and these are a definite upgrade. The only downside is that just one color is available in a narrow width.

I love my Glycerins! I put about 500 miles on my sneakers in 6 months. Had a pair of 11s and bought the Glycerin 12 in December, 2014. When it came time to buy again, the 12s were still available, so I purchased 2 pair to carry me through the next year. This sneaker is fantastic for fitness walking or running. Roomy, but not overly so in the toe box and terrific ankle padding. Comfortable right out of the box. It's stylish, too - if that's important to you. Not a single complaint, nothing but praise for the Glycerin 12.

I absolutely love these running shoes!!!! After wearing Asics for many years I left because I had been unhappy repeatedly with their product. So I was looking for a new brand I could trust. I tried on like every running shoe, and this shoe felt different then the rest. It is so comfortable, and light. It appears to be made of much better quality then the Asics I have been buying. I love the laces and the soft material used for the part that comes near to your ankle. The shoe just feels so good on my feet. I will be buying these from now on. The only problem was, they ran VERY SMALL. I wear an 8 and I had to get a 9.5! But I love these shoes!

I'm shocked to see any negative reviews! I spent a great deal of time shopping for the perfect shoe. Every specialty running shoe store I went to said this shoe was their most popular and least returned. A few of the sales associates were wearing Glycerin 12's so I figured that was a good sign. I have horribly picky feet and tend to have plantar fascitis flares if I don't have the proper support. This shoe is so comfortable! I have trouble putting on any other shoe now. I get so many compliments on the purple color and I also bought the black for a more neutral look. I got my husband a pair and he started wearing them to work every day. My friend bought a pair and loves them.

Love these for walking so much I went back and ordered a second pair. I have a narrow heel but need more width for my toes and balls of my feet, these are perfect. I usually wear a size 10 for my regular everyday shoes, but these I need a 10 1/2. Lots of cushion on the balls of my feet and heel. Excellent arch support.

This is absolutely my favorite running shoe by far...this is my 3rd pair of these I have bought. I have an extremely flat foot and these shoes are so comfortable...I don't even have to use inserts for my arch which is a huge plus for me as I hate them. I love these shoes!

Love these shoes - this is my second pair and would highly recommend if you do a lot of walking. Also, love Zappos!

I Googled Women's Walking Shoes 3-6 miles a day...5 suggestions came up. I read the Brooks reviews...Went to a local Sport store and they only had them in a store over two bridges and miles away. I ordered them on line on Zappos. Maxwell assisted me and said the shoes would be there the next day...and they were. I put them on and I felt I had two new feet. I have raved about them. My son told me if they are this good..order another pair...rotate them out...and less than a week later. I was on the phone with Courtney and my second pair are on the way.

Awesome, so comfortable. So glad I checked Zappos since the local store did not have the pink with lime green accents (my favorite). Was not thrilled with any colors offered at local store. I am also shopping more on Zappos again like I previously did.

I don't usually write reviews, but felt I needed to since I have worn previous version of this shoe and now this version. I know everyone's foot is different, but for me this shoe is just as comfortable as the previous versions and I have a wide foot with a bunion on the right foot. Hope this is helpful.

I am not a runner, I did not buy them to exercise in. I work in a hospital, am on my feet 8 hours and walk all day. This is my 5th pair. My 1st pair were Glycerin 9. Very stylish and comfortable for work. A huge difference from new balance that everyone was hooked on for years. My only disappointment is the mesh at the little toe wears through before the shoe wears out. If you go to Brooks website, step by step they will guide you to the shoe that best fits your needs. That's right Brooks has a desire to please their customers, just like Zappos who asked for a review for future customers. Thank you too Zappos for great service!

As a new runner I was unsure on shoe choice. I used Asics in the past and bought a pair I liked but had heard good things about Brooks. We don't have a local running store. So, I tried Ghost 7. Too much arch support. My friend helped me pick these and I love them!

After wearing Asics for many years, I was growing tired of not being fully satisfied with my running shoes. I decided that I needed to find a new brand to try. I tried on every shoe at my local running store. These shoes felt absolutely wonderful out of the box. They did run extremely small. I had to go way up in sizing. Everything about the shoe screams quality down to the laces that are so much nicer then any that I have seen. The shoes are just so comfortable. I think they are relatively light. Hopefully Brooks continues to make a great product and not sell out like some other athletic footwear companies. Many people buy athletic shoes for wearing around town, and walking. Running shoe companies still need to make shoes for real runners, we deserve it.

Fantastic running shoe. This is the second pair of Glycerin 12's I have purchased and they are superb. I have a bad habit of wearing through the toe in runners but not in these. They are built tough but with excellent support and comfort plus they look great. I have the black/pink and they go with everything I own for the gym. A must buy.

These fit perfect. I have tried on no less than 30 pairs of shoes and most hurt somewhere. I have a steel plate a 9 screws in ankle and also RA, so finding a pair of shoes that do not hurt anywhere is wonderful. Plus Zappos has so many sizes and widths that you cannot find in a store. Great pair of shoes.

Cute shoe, doesn't slip too much off my heel. Not sure if I will keep them, I'm hoping to find that perfect fit which I haven't come across as of yet.

I am using these shoes for jazzercise, as I far prefer them to the Rykas that everyone wears. I need more cushioning that that and these are excellent, particularly around the toes/ball of foot. Pivoting is no problem. Highly recommend!

Best ride in the shoe world! My feet are completely supported without feeling restricted. Worth every penny.

This is my 5th pair of Glycerin. I think these (Glycerin 12) have decent arch support and good cushion. I wear them for both running outside and cardio/strength training in the gym. No complaints!

I love these shoes - they are very supportive - great for running, cross training, or working out in a gym doing various exercises. I have worn them for about 8 hours at a time several times and my feet still feel great. They are a durable shoe, they look awesome, and they don't leave such a huge/wide footpath. I would definitely recommend these shoes.

I love these shoes. I wear 8 1/2. My previous pair of Brooks were regular width. This time I ordered wide as I have custom orthotics and I have small bunions. The wide is perfect. So comfortable and so cool looking!

Brooks is my top choice for any activity. I recently wore these shoes on a trip to Disney. We walked an average of seven miles a day and my feet felt great. Awesome for running and walking.

Love these shoes. After trying on many pairs to find the right fit, I chose these. The insole support is important to me and these were the most supportive, "feel good" shoe. I use them for walking but feel I could run in them as well.

This is my fourth pair of Brooks. My feet are 2A width so I have a limited amount of shoes to choose from. I have tried others, but, keep coming back to Brooks. I love them, I wish they had more color selections in narrow.
