Customer Reviews Brooks Glycerin 14

I've worn three generations of Brooks Glycerine. My Brooks Glycerine 13 seemed shorter and a little tighter than the previous pair. The same with the BG 14's I just ordered. I have worn 7.5 in both Asics and Brooks for many years, but I've gone up half a size to an 8 for this shoe.

The colors match the photos, but these are NOT pretty shoes! The comfort will probably make up for their appearance, though. Actually can't wait to run, that's a miracle!

I really love the style and feel of this shoe EXCEPT that it definitely felt narrow. It's the only Brooks style that I've ever tried that felt narrow, but I'm sending it back just because I'm sure it would be uncomfortably tight after walking a little while.

Great shoes, very comfortable with good arch and heel support. Thanks Zappos for having some great colors to choose from.

My physical therapist suggested wearing supportive sneakers as much as possible, as my feet tend to roll outward (supinating?) and this shoe was one her list of recommended shoes for stability and cushioning. It is indeed very supportive, but I wouldn't call it very cushy or springy. Depending on what kind of day my feet are having, the shoe can start to feel hard and ouchy after a long day of wearing them. Most days, though, they are fine; I'm a teacher and I am on my feet all day. Based on other reviewers' recommendations, I ordered half a size up, and I'm glad I did. I like the black and green color, although I don't really care for the super "sporty", flashy look. I'm not wearing them to run, just with normal clothes.

My knees were starting to hurt with my old shoes and then I found these. I'm a moderate runner, but run on pavement and these have been great! My knees feel fine again. They are a touch wide in the front of the shoe, but I haven't found another shoe out there that is better.

Like these shoes and I would keep them except... They are a tad short. Arch is great and toe box is roomy but tapers at the end and probably causes my toes to touch. Even with a thin sock A half size larger would work but a full size larger would cause the whole toe box to be too large. If you have bunions or other toe problems this shoe would work as it is roomy on top

My feet are wide across the top (near the ball of the foot). I tried the wide in my normal size and they slipped a lot (no matter how I tie them) because the heel was also wide. I usually wear a size 6 or 6 1/2, but decided on a size 7 1/2 in these shoes so that my toes have plenty of room while running. If I were to buy a pair just for normal use (running errands and such), I would go with a size 7. I highly recommend you order a few different sizes and widths to see what works for you. So far, they are very comfortable and offer a very soft sole for running.

My feet are medium to wide . I ordered this shoe in a wide and it is a bit too wide. Other than that these shoes are comfortable. Grey/black/hot pink was the only color available in wide...I would have preferred one of the other colors but none were available in wide except grey/black/hot pink.Those colors sound better than they look!

Love these shoes, I do aerobic workouts not running, I have little feet compared to most these days size 6 1/2 and these fit me very well without going to the next size for toe room. They are very cushy and comfortable. Love the colors.

This shoe feels shorter and narrower than in the past.

These shoes are very comfortable, but my feet are not used to the amount of support, so by the end of the day, they ache. Also, my feet get really hot.

I ordered this shoe in a half size larger than my normal size as suggested in other reviews. It was a little too large even with laces adjusted, enough that my heel slightly slipped in the shoe, so I am exchanging them. I do like the style of the shoe. Love how Zappos makes the ordering and returning/exchanging process so easy. Thanks!

narrower through the ball and toe area than last model, and the tongue and cushion around ankle is too much.

I ordered these in 12 wide because the brooks ghost 12w fit so well but I was needing a softer shoe. these run wider, larger in the toe box and softer than ghost. I may have to return for a smaller size.

I have only worn these for 3 days. So far so good. I work on concrete 12 hrs per day, therefore i need comfortable shoes.

Great shoes. I always buy these for the comfort especially for long-distance. Excellent you for running and walking.

love the thick/cushion/soft tongue.

This shoe is so comfortable. My feet tend to roll out and I feel supported and neutral when I wear them. I love the cushion on the heel.

My physical therapist advised me to switch from a stability sneaker to a neutral running sneaker, to reduce my tendency to run with a heel strike. Its been a bit of an adjustment but I am enjoying the Glycerin's. I had to put a more supportive/cushioned sole into the sneaker, but I've done that with every pair of sneakers that I've owned. First few runs needed some breaking in, but they are now running comfortably and helping me to have a more centered foot strike. I'm looking forward to putting more miles on these! The colors are sharp looking :)

Love, love, love the Glycerin 14 for comfort & fit. Hate, hate, hate Glycerin 14 for color choice in women's shoe! Not Zappos fault though! I love everything about Zappos...the choices, the fast shipping, the customer service, the return policy. Have bought several pairs of the Glycerin 14, it's the only running shoe I can wear ~ but the colors...ugh! I've contacted Brooks about making the same color choices men have available for women. Hoping they will listen. Anyway...love these shoes for every other reason. Felt true to size, good arch support, very comfortable for walking miles and miles. No break in time. Just wish there were better, more neutral color choices for women.

I love these shoes. They are just a tad on the small side but I did wind up keeping them in my size. I like a bigger toe box, narrow ankle and neutral shoe. I am not a runner just do a lot of walking. I was able to fit my orthotics into these shoes. I also purchased them in another color.

Purchased the Glycerine 14s after getting the Ghost 9 and seeing the redesign didn't provided enough length for my huge feet (women's size 12).Thankfully, the Glycerine 14 fit perfect because I really love the Brooks brand. The overall look of the shoe is bulky, but that's almost always the case with my size. I love the color options. It was hard to choose but I ultimately went with the charcoal grey and pink; I liked the pink on the bottom of the shoe.The tongue is a little bulkier than what I'm used too, but it has become less noticeable with wear. The arch support has been sufficient for my high arch needs. My plantar fascitis hasn't been bothered.I'm glad that I was able to stay within the Brooks line. I was really dreading having to find another brand because of my size 12 boats.

Too much padding in the tongue - presses against the top of the foot. May work for someone with flatter feet/lower arches.

Great shoe. Roomy toe. Lots of cushion!
