Love these sneakers - great for my foot problems - bunion, arthritis, etc. And thank you Zappos for letting me try so many on to find the right ones.

This is my 2nd pair of Brooks Glycerin model running shoes. Very comfortable. I recommend taking a half size larger than you would normally wear in regular street shoes. I bought these without considering switching to another brand- that's how happy I've been with Brooks. They are excellent running and walking shoes.

Fabulous shoe! Walked 5 miles right out of the box. Very comfortable and firm footbed.

I bought these to replace my well worn Glycerin 11's. Love them! Sizing feels the same to me and my orthotic fits just as with the 11 model. I'm very pleased with this shoe. I've had plantar fasciitis issues in the past and have a very high arch. Highly recommend this shoe.

I have so much trouble finding a shoe that will fit my feet well. I have a wide toe box, so it can be difficult. After reading dozens of reviews of several different shoes, I settled on these and ordered them. I am very pleased with them, have used them on a couple runs so far and they feel great. Plenty of room in the toe area and they are very light, as well, which is an added attraction for me. Also, they are a good looking shoe and my feet do not look big in these (9.5W).

These shoes are fantastic. Airy for summer, plenty of toe room, smaller heal and very neat looking. I have a hammer toe and bunions but there is no rubbing at all. Definitely recommend these for people with foot problems. If only I didn't have to take out the nice cushy insole to put in a hard orthotic. I don't really like to spend this much on shoes but they are so worth it I'm thinking about ordering another pair. I hate to tear these up. They are for every day use and I am brutal on shoes. I usually get an 8.5 but took the advice of several others who said the shoe ran a little large and bought an 8. Perfect.

I did a lot of research before settling on the Glycerine. Then I tried it on in a retailer who did not have the 1/2 size up that many recommend. Ordered it and another pair at Zappos. The shoes were attractive with beautiful soft material where you touch the shoe at the tongue and laces. They were comfortable, fully wearable right out of the box. Plenty of toe room for wiggling in. Sent the other pair back. Zappos is the best for shipping, returns and customer communication. Love my Brooks Glycerins.

I love these running shoes more than any other running shoe in the world. I've been wearing Brooks Ghosts for over 10 years and on a friends recommendation, I tried these. Holy cow are they comfortable. I have some low back issues and I need a lot of shock absorption for running - I've had such a good experience with these shoes is absolutely recommend them!

Love these shoes! I've been wearing Brooks for several years. Was wearing Saucony but they changed. I need more cushioning. Did not like the Glycerin 12 so I returned them found another 11 and now the 13 seems to be more like the 11.

These are instantly comfortable with no break-in required. They have good cushioning. I received compliments on the color design. I like these as much as the GTS12.

I like this shoe very much. My daughter praised it highly from her experience with it. I read reviews on Zappos that recommended to order a half size larger than usual and I am happy that I took that advice. It is a zippy, lightweight, cushioned shoe.

Very happy to have given Zappos a try. Never expected to find my narrow size in my favorite go-to athletic shoe on this site. I am impressed not only with the selection but also with the speedy - free - shipping. Have another order out for delivery today. Didn't know Birkenstocks were even available in narrow sizes. I have been sharing my find with everyone.

I'm just a light jogger, not a hardcore runner, but these are great shoes that don't aggravate my plantar fasciitis. They provide enough padding under the balls of my feet without feeling overly chunky. I have a narrow heel and wider through the toe box, and the Glycerins fit well. These have lasted about one year and I just bought a second pair. Great Zappos service. I usually wear an 8.5 in regular shoes, a 9 in running shoes. These are a perfect size 9 for me.

Most comfortable sneakers I've ever owned! Brooks were recommended by my foot doc. I am not a runner, I am a walker and I do Zumba, but I have arthritis issues in back, hip, and inflamed tendon in foot. I can do so much more with the excellent support these sneakers provide along with an insert for extra arch support. I bought 2 other pairs of Brooks! I like the Adrenaline model too! Wide toe base too! True to size.

I have been wearing this shoe for the past two years. I have arthritis in both my feet, my ankles, and my knees, so I need a shoe that is both lightweight and gives good support. Have been very pleased with the Glycerin.

Love these shoes, Love these shoes. This is my 2nd pair and I have been through 2 foot surgeries. Can not walk without them. Zappos was great. This model runs small, so had to return, but NO issues. Zappos is the only way to go!

Purchased Glycerin 13 after purchasing and returning 2 other sneakers (Brooks Racer ST 5 & Saucony Omni 14). I previously owned the 12 version of this shoe and literally ran them into the ground. The 13 runs a little smaller than the 12 but after a couple uses expands so I would stay true to size. 13 has same support in arch as 12. I have extremely high arches and found this shoe to have excellent arch. The 13 will support will accommodate an orthotic or other insert as needed. I have narrow feet and found this model to have the best fit for my needs: running, aerobics, weight lifting overall cross trainer. The soles are so great for outdoor runs, traction, but tend to catch a bit on carpets for indoor HIIT workouts.

This Glycerin actually feels better to me than the 14, and I got it much cheaper! Great cush and support, not sloppy. Not enough arch for me, though, so I put an insert over the existing footbed - plenty of room in the wide width. I wear a 7½ in running shoes, and this fits perfectly.

Fantastic for me. I could hardly walk in other shoes. I do recommend getting fitted for the right sneaker by going to a running shop. These were recommended to me 10 years ago; these are the same but more modern version.

I am very pleased with the women's Brooks Glycerin 13! I have a neutral arch and this shoe works great with the neutral insole that my podiatrist recommended. The insole in the shoe is very similar, but I still use what my podiatrist recommended since I have some issues with my feet. There is plenty of room in the shoe box if you have hammertoes. I needed a half size larger and the return process was so easy and no cost to me and the right size was shipped out. I do think they may be a half size smaller than marked. The quick and free shipping policy is great too! I like the color selection of these shoes. Most importantly, they are comfortable, functional, flexible and lightweight and give the right arch support that I need.

I love these shoes. As others have mentioned, size up a half size from your normal running shoe size.

I have two pair of the Glycerin 13. I love them and they are the most comfortable tennis shoe I have ever worn. They are worth every penny!
