Love this sneaker - lots of support but super cushiony as well. Beware however, I had to order a whole size up and ended up with the wide, as I like to wear them with midweight socks. It took three shipments from Zappos but finally found the right size and am thrilled. Highly recommend.

This is my second pair of Brooks Glycerin. I don't run anymore, but these are excellent for my 2-4 mile daily walks. I need the arch and cushion support these provide. Glad Zappos had the color I wanted in my size.

I love these shoes!!!! You don't even need to break them in! I ran 8 miles in them the day I got them. Zappos was so quick too! Excellent service, excellent shoe!

I ordered the 10 narrow and it was still too wide.
Seems like a great shoe if it fits you.
Thanks so much Zappos for putting up with someone who is so difficult to fit.

I had last year's Glycerin 12s and loved them. I like this year's 13s but I had to go up half a size and they are a little bit roomier in the toe box. I tried the Adrenaline 15s because I liked the colors better than the Glycerins, but they were too wide for my narrow foot. The Glycerins seem better for a narrow foot and aside from being slightly roomier in the front, are incredibly comfortable right out of the box. My feet are also prone to plantar fasciitis and Brooks running shoes offer the cushioning and support that I need. I just wish they would take a page out of the Asics book and offer better colors and designs.

I've been wearing Brooks running sneakers for work over the past probably five years. I've had multiple Glycerin sneakers. I will stand on my feet for up to 10 or 12 hrs. a day. I've had vascular problems and my legs hereditary since age 15. Any other shoe and I am paying for my feet up to my calves after only several hours. I will never stop using these sneakers for work. I always put my own insert in from sofsole.

I spent a lot of time searching for the right running shoe that would work with my custom orthotics. These shoes always came out on top. Nothing else compared to the Glycerin. My stride feels completely natural waking and running in them. My husband and I have very different strides and gaits, but he fell in love with these sneakers too. They felt so natural for him that he bought the men's version.

I am so glad that I finally bought these! I've been lurking around for a while and have bought cheaper shoes that just don't feel anywhere near as good as these do. I have high arches, bunions and generally odd-looking feet and these are just delightful to wear. I bought 1/2 size larger than my usual size for lots of toe spreading area. I will be using them for exercise walking and general putzing around. Yay!

This is a great shoe! The lightweight and cushion were the features I was looking for. The colors are so fun. I had to return them because I have such a narrow heel and I also use additional orthopedic inserts. So they were a little loose in the heel for me. But I would recommend them to anyone who doesn't have these two problems.

I had one pair of Glycerin 11, two pairs of 12, and now just bought 13. I have wide feet, underpronate, and do Zumba classes 2-4 times per week. Brooks nailed the cushioning with 13. Not a fan of the black color scheme, but that was the option available in my size and it will do. I always order a half size up, wide, and they fit as usual. Recommend.

This is my second pair of Glycerins. (Last was 11.) They are great "right-out-of-the-box" shoes. Excellent arch support with roomy toe box and snug, cushion-y heels... all I need to keep moving. I have to say they are a bit clunky looking but I'll take function over form in this case.

Great shoe! I have high arches and need support with my orthotics and these shoes provide it. They are sturdy and comfortable. This is my second pair of the glycerin and even though the 1st pair is very worn it still retains its solid instep and sole.

Just picked these up today. They feel awesome right out of the box - I don't want to take them off! Wide toe box, your toes won't get crunched. I have very wide feet and these fit perfect in my regular size (10). I had a pair of Brooks Ghost before - they were just okay, these are much better. I tend to underpronate and prefer a lot of cushion. These look great too - the metallic charcoal and blue looks better in person. My other go-to brand is Saucony.

Zappos is fantastic! On the phone, every person I have ever spoken to is well versed in their stock and will assist, rapidly, with well informed answers. Never have had a poor or less than perfect experience with this co.

These are most comfortable running shoe I have found in years. I run outside and my feet feel great. every time I out them on I brag about them to my husband. He is buying a pair himself. I alternate my running shoes and I don't look forward to putting the "Other" running shoes on. I'm purchasing another pair of these shoes.

Love love love the shoe. 1 1/2 yrs ago I bought 2 pairs of Saucony size 9. This time I had to size up a 1/2 size. Not sure why but still love the Saucony shoe over the Brooks.

I have been a Glycerin wearer for years. I did not love the 12, and even changed brands (once). I ordered the 13 and absolutely love them. I always order 1 size larger.

I've been wearing Brooks for at least 8 years. Consistently the best running shoes out there. Nice roomy toe box for those of us who can't stand our toes repeatedly jamming. Great snug fit on my heel. They are comfortable right out of the box. I order one size larger than I wear in regular shoes.

These are great shoe with good support that are very comfortable. I buy wides so my feet have room to move. I normally wear an 8N or 8M, but buy this brand in a 8½W for the most comfort as my feet swell during a workout or long walk.

Perfect straight out of the box. I've been wearing Glycerin's since version 10 and they are continuing to be the most comfortable shoe I've ever worn.

Great structure, but runs long/big compared to the same size in glycerin 12. Had the laces as tight as they go and still had room to spare and heel slipped out.

Love the Glycerin line of Brooks. This one is great too - just give them a few days to break in before going on a long walk. Good neutral shoe. I always order a size larger and wear two pairs of footies - really helps since one foot is larger than the other.

Brooks Glycerin 12 was my favorite shoe, having purchased more than one pair, but alas, the Glycerin 13 is much narrower in the toe box. I wear 8 1/2 street shoe but wear 10 1/2 in the Brooks (having been fitted in a small local athletic store).
