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.

Brooks Glycerins have been my go-to running shoes for years, but I've found that I like them less each time the new version comes out. Unfortunately, I'll be returning these. I've always worn a 7W, but my toes touch the ends in this pair, and the heal of the right shoe is about 1/4inch lower than the left, which causes slipping. While I know this is so minor I probably shouldn't even mention it, but Brooks, pay more attention to how your shoes are laced when they leave the factory. I ordered two pair of Brooks shoes and had to unlace and relace both as they were laced in such a way that one side was way too short to tie. Having been a Brooks loyalist, I have to say, I'm a little disappointed.

I wear a regular size 7 shoe and bought these in an 8.5. I think I would have been ok with a size 8 though. What I like about these are the cushiony support which is what I need. I'm very happy with the bright color too.

I normally wear Ghosts. These are beautiful but gave me blisters in the side of my feet. I dont think I can run in them again.

I have been wearing Brooks Glycerin for wears and get a new pair about every 6 months. The new 14 model is much narrower and tighter all over than the 13s. I need to go up at least a half size and maybe a W width.

My toes rubbed on both sides. I ordered a 7.5 D width and was very disappointed in the fit. I think the red was too "in your face" red.

I've been wearing the Glycerin's for several years now; I think my first pair were the 8s. I've been pretty disappointed lately with the "improvements" they've been adding to this line. As others have mentioned it runs really narrow and you should order a 1/2 size up. I don't run a lot but just wearing them at work (typically sedentary) my feet burned up in these shoes. It got to the point where my feet were super uncomfortable by the end of the day and it felt like my feet were going to bust out of them. Thankfully, Zappos allowed me to return these even though they were worn. Shout out to their awesome customer service team!

I used to be a diehard ASICS fan but then I tore my posterior tibial tendon power walking and my doctor had a custom orthotic made for me that wasn't user friendly with ASICS. He recommended the Glycerins. I bought a pair in a 10.5 narrow and didn't look back. The Glycerins were so bouncy and comfortable and although i wore a 10 narrow in ASICS--Brooks run ridiculously short--the 10.5 narrows fit like a glove and I was really happy with them for a few years until Brooks decided to change them. Alas, the Glycerins started coming in a very long and wide fit. I couldn't find a pair that worked for me and i ditched them for the ASICS Gel Kayano 20s which I have two say I have loved. Now ASICS redesigned the Gel Kayanos and I decided to switch back to the Glycerins. Big mistake. I got a pair on sale in the Glycerin 13 and one in the 14s for full price. I wish i had walked around in them more before keeping them because by the time I took a lengthy walk in the 13's it was too late to return them and my foot would shift in them and I had toe pain and rubbing which I've never experienced before in my life because they were apparently a tad short. The 14's felt a bit better but they ran too wide and not quite long enough for my weird, stick-like feet and so i am now stuck with two pair of Brooks I can only wear on my elliptical trainer. I really wish these companies would just stick to a model that sold well and added new colors and made minor changes rather than redesigning them every single year. I am in a lot of pain and I can't find athletic shoes now. I know most people don't struggle with a torn posterior tibial tendon and with long narrow feet but you'd think that there would be some shoes that aligned with my needs. I've wasted hundreds of dollars on shoes. I'm glad to be able to give them to Goodwill and have someone needy use them, but I am desperate for a pair of athletic shoes that suit me now.

I have always worn a 11B with the Brooks Glycerin. The new Glyderin 14 size 11B did not fit - too small.

I'm a big fan of the glycerin shoe but the 14 is cut more narrow and a bit shorter than prior versions. Decided to try the Hoka Clifton 3 instead

The shoe seemed to vertically compress my foot and currently I have some irritation on the ball of my foot so it increased my foot pain. Also, the sole was still so stepping down on the shoe further increased my foot pain. I thought that this would offer good cushioning but because it was tight and stiff, I could not risk wearing this shoe. Otherwise, the style was acceptable, not too bulky looking. It seemed well made. For the right person this could be a good shoe.

I have always loved the way my glycerins fit! But these have no support or any cushion! The toe box is narrow so I did try the wide and then that was too wide. Sent them back.

Usually wear Defyance but the new Defyance 9 in my size was small so I kept the Brooks Glycerin 14 I'd ordered. At first they were fine but after a couple of hours I realized they were narrow and tried to loosen them. Unfortunately the tongue is very short and the laces are much shorter than other sports shoes. There was no room to loosen laces and tie them. Just replaced the laces so I'm hoping the loosened shoe will be more comfortable. Original laces were48 inches which just makes a very tiny bow.

This shoe is very short - I wear a 9.5 but ordered a 10 and still my toe hit the end of the shoe. Also, it wasn't wide at all even though it's specifically a wide shoe. Cannot wear these so I will send them back.

I LOVE how these shoes feel! However, I've only had them a few weeks & the color is coming off of one side..... really disappointing. I wasn't a huge fan of the color selection, but I got the pink/gray ones & they looked better in person. I just wish the pink was staying on! I would love to add a picture, but it's not letting me.

I have worn Brooks Glycerin before and they worked fine. I ordered the usual 9.5 for my Size 9 foot. It was too short and narrow(I always take a N). The 10 was too long. I was very disappointed as these shoes are normally very comfortable.
