Customer Reviews Brooks Glycerin 12

This is my second pair and I couldn't be happier with them. I have been running for 20 years in Nike and New Balance, but I am officially a Brookes customer.

I love these running shoes. Brooks are a great quality shoe and these are my go to running shoes. I have had multiple pairs of the same shoe and can't rave about them enough.

My favorite athletic shoe ever! Have loved this brand for a few years now but the blue color is perfect! Stylish but does not show dirt. Plan to order another pair of the same.

Brooks was out of my size, so I ordered from Zappos; no complaints at all. True to size, extremely comfortable, and bunion-friendly. I like that the hombre rose/papaya don't have white along the bottom, since that stains easily in the Arizona dirt. They clean up well with a damp cloth.

I bought these shoes because I kept getting shin splints after running and doing Zumba 5 days a week. I can not say enough great things about this shoe! It fits my feet as though it was made for me specifically (considering I am flat footed, have wide feet and plantar fasciitis). I haven't had any shin splints since using this shoe!

I had gone to a local shoe store and been fitted for these shoes specifically. I am slightly overweight and run about 5 days a week. Very supportive and light.

These are so comfortable! I usually wear minimalist shoes, but when an injury made that not possible for a while, I found these shoes. They feel great just putting them on, and they continue to feel great during my runs. They are also good looking. I have recovered from my injury but have kept these shoes in my running rotation (for my longer runs). I am slim and run 3 to 4 times a week for 3 to 8 miles at a time. My heel is slim and the ball of my foot is average. I have a very high arch (no shoe supports my arch; I am not even sure what that would feel like). I am a neutral runner. I wear a 5.5 in dress shoes but wear a 6.5 in running shoes (other than my Vibrams). The 6.5 in the Glycerin 12 has worked out great for me. Hope this helps!

I love this shoe. I was at the point of not being able to walk very far because of my bad ankle/foot. This shoe has great support, and it is very stable. The color is fun and the shoe is well made. And now my feet don't hurt so I am hitting the road again. I love Zappos!

These are by far the best sneakers I have ever owned. I started training for my first 5K race several months ago and was experiencing severe ankle pain from my other high end alternative brand sneakers when I started running 3 miles. I got to the point where I had to rest my ankle for two weeks to recover. I did some research and read amazing things about Brooks and specifically Glycerin so I decided to give them a shot. Not only are they attractive (I got the purple/blue version), but my ankle pain immediately went away. I will proudly be wearing them in my first 5K this weeked! These shoes are worth the money! You won't be disappointed!

I have been an ASIC women for many years. Now that I am older, heavier, with a somewhat wide foot, high arches, and now heel pain, I needed a neutral cushy shoe. The ASICS Gel Nimbus has always been recommended. But the past two years model have been small and smaller. I did some research and stumbled across the Brooks Glycerin. Wow! They were great right out of the box, fit like a dream, and felt great after my treadmill workout. I am divorcing ASlCS for Brooks. Sometimes more expensive is better.

Still a fabulous shoe! I owned Glycerin 11 and now own a 12 in Black. LOVE IT! It fits like a glove, so very comfortable. Running miles in it and NO pains at all. I ordered 7.5 B and it is perfect for my wide feet. No match for anything else. I am very picky when it comes to getting a comfortable shoe and I say you must give this a try!

Another amazing edition of the Glycerin. Feels like pillows while amazingly supportive. I've had six Glycerin in my running day, and this is seriously the best, especially if you have wide feet like myself.

I have been wearing the glycerins for awhile now and these are more comfortable than previous versions. I run in them 3x/week and so far they have been outstanding. I receive compliments on them all the time from "they look comfortable" to "I like that color". I chose the purple cactus flower but that new color ombre looks pretty awesome! Can't recommend this shoe enough. Looking forward to my next pair!

I just ordered these yesterday, they got here so quick, woo! I have been looking for a lightweight running shoe after having used the Brooks PureConnect 2, which I love but feel like I'm needing more support from the further I run. I supinate slightly, have medium arches, have normal width feet. All of my online research pointed me to the Glycerin 12. I had some concern due to the negative reviews on here, but went with my gut anyway. So far, so good. They fit well, and feel like they are guiding my feet in the right direction with each step. They are light, yet offer a decent amount of support. You pay for good construction, and you get it. They are soft! Moderately flexible. I normally wear a 10 but got these in a 10.5, and I have a bit more toe room. Glad I ordered up. Time will tell how these hold up, but so far I am happy! (Not to mention, the purple color is pretty cool!)

Super comfortable! I needed a good pair of sneakers for a trip to the Orlando theme parks that wouldn't make my feet scream at the end of each day. These were perfect. Orlando in August wasn't the best idea, but these shoes were!

Love them! I bought the Brooks Glycerin 12 in blue. I'm in love with them. Wore them this morning for several hours and my feet are very happy.

I'm a fairly new runner, only a couple years, and have tried various shoes. I went to a running store and because I supinate pretty impressively, they recommended these shoes. This is my second pair - they are comfortable, durable and have worked very well for me. They are expensive; I've considered buying older 'models' to save some money.

I absolutely love these shoes. I have been running in the Launch for quite some time, but I wanted slightly more cushioned shoes for my longer runs. The Glycerin 12 is perfect! I do not have the problem others have stated with the foot being forced inward - these are true neutral shoes as far as I can tell. I typically run about 20-30 miles a week and adding these shoes to my rotation was the best decision that I have made in awhile.

I bought these shoes to help with shin splints and so far, so good. I like the look and feel. These are my first Brooks and I would buy them again. They run true to size - 6M.

I am not a runner, but find Brooks sneakers to be comfortable for my problem feet (neuromas, bunion, and general discomfort). Bought these to replace my Ghost 6's. I tried the Ghost 7 but didn't find them as comfortable as the 5 and 6. The Glycerin 12 is comfortable with my orthotics.

Very supportive. I change the inserts with super feet inserts. They're very comfortable with a wider toe box. I had a bunionectomy and this is what the doctor suggested for my feet!

Big Brooks fan with hard to fit feet, I wear a women's 12 narrow. Loved my Glycerin 11's and was looking forward to the 12's. Unfortunately, I'm not happy with the changes that were made to the 12's. Comfort level and support just aren't the same. I do a lot of walking for exercise and even though I kept these shoes, feel they were too expensive. I would of sent them back if I didn't have such a difficult time finding shoes to fit my feet. Zappos gets a five star rating because of all the shoes I've ordered and had to send back.

Super cute looking but...toe box is more narrow than I expected & it appears to run a 1/2 size small? Great looking shoe though.

I was excited to get this pair of shoes. I have the Glycerin 10s and love them. But these shoes made the bottom outside edges of my feet hurt after walking in them. I tried them on the treadmill, and my feet and left knee hurt. I walked in them a few more times in the house. Then, when I went to run in my Glycerin 10's my knee and hip hurt. After waiting a day, then I was ok again in my Glycerin 10s. These shoes may work for some people; but they really throw my step off. So disappointed. I really like the looks of these and the navy would have been perfect to wear on July 4th 5K. I really tried to make them work. But sadly I have to return them. I want a second pair of running shoes; but I just know what to try next.
