Sending these back- very boxy, not much in way of arch support; toe box is too wide, tips upward. Sized up half size as recommended for length but the width is too wide- I typically wear normal width 9.5 Asics running shoes, 8.5 to 9 in all other shoes.

I purchased these because I needed a change. I needed a shoe that offered more cushion. When I tried these on my feet immediately noticed a difference. It felt like heaven. So I bought them. After a week of wearing them, my feet started to hurt even more. When I put on my Mizuno Wave Sky or Wave Rider that I just purchased, my feet don't hurt. These just didn't work for me, but everyone is different. The colors are ok, but mizuno offers more variety of colors.
I'd also recommend:

This shoe is more narrow than the 14 and the padding that was so comfortable in the earlier version is not helpful in this version.

Super bummed to find that the 15s run small. My toes hit the end of the shoe and I've always worn an 8.5. I've been a Glycerin fan since the 11s, and this is the first pair I sent back. Try ordering up a half size. Zappos customer service is the best.

Reviewed at Brooks Running
So disappointed that the colors now available are terrible options. The Brooks Glycerin in purple, teal and navy is the perfect color combination, I wish who ever designed the shoes came up with more attractive options.

Brooks Glycerin (first 13 and now 15) have been my go to shoe for a long time. I was happy to find a shoe that was comfortable, easily fit orthodics, gave me the support I need and has a nice wide toe box. I was really excited to find these on sale, which is a rarity. However, the shoes delivered were a huge disappointment. They are merely a different color (I have the navy and the turquoise), but the actual shoe is COMPLETELY sized differently. See the picture below - the entire shoe is smaller - the toe-box is a good 1/4 inch smaller! Very frustrating that Brooks would miss-size their shoes so dramatically.

Too short. My toe was less than 1/2 inch from the end of the shoe. I recently bought the same size 11.5 in a Brooks athletic shoe and they fit as far as the length. The width is fine in this pair and in the previous pair. I think shoe makers are trying to skimp on materials. Very disappointing. On the treadmill, I think these shoes would have really hurt. In older adults, feet might get fat or swollen and spread out in width, but I don't think they grow in length, so why I now need a size 12 when I've previously worn 10.5 and 11 is very suspicious.

I love Brooks shoes normally, but these seem to lack support and my feet/ankles roll all the time while wearing. Surface doesn't matter: sidewalk, rocky gravel, dirt, grassy hillside. I am so disappointed. I won't order this style again.

I have an older pair of Glycerin 15's, these very narrow and short length. The cushioning is horrible! I have only worn Brooks Glycerin or Ghosts for at least 10 years, Ghosts were the same way recently so I had to return both. Maybe they changed the "DNA" cushioning again?

I have run in Brooks Ghosts or Glycerins for most of my running career. I ALWAYS take a size 10 Brooks. I ordered the 10 in this shoe and omg, it is way too short. My big toe was almost busting through the mesh. I hate this shoe. Will have to go back to my Ghost 10’s. And will be returning these ASAP.

I am SO disappointed in this shoe. Was super excited when I put them on . . . then I took them out for a jog. They are much shorter than the 14. The shoe beat my second toe to death - now losing the nail. I am super brand loyal and expect that a size 9.5 is as size 9.5 is a size 9.5 when I'm just upgrading to a newer model number. Very disappointed . . . maybe enough to change brands.

I was very disappointed with this shoe. The footbed cushioning ended somewhere between the fourth and fifth toe so that my last two toes seemed to drop down on the sides. I'm returning them.

What support? This is the floppiest flimsiest shoe I have ever worn. The shoe looks like it might have cushioning when you look at the sole but when you put it on and stand up your whole foot just sinks right to the pavement. There is no support. There is no cushion. Back to the store these go.

What has happened to Brooks Glycerin? I have the Glycerin 13 & Glycerin 14 in a wide fitting and they fit fantastic! Why is this Glycerin 15, made so that it is now too short in length and no longer wide enough? It no longer looks like previous glycerin shoes and now looks like any cheap sneaker. Huge disappointment!! Sent them back for refund. Hopefully, the Glycerin 16 when it appears will be back to the normal great fit, and not this G 15.

As a long time wearer of the Glycerine, this one is a huge disappointment and going back. This shoe is shorter, narrower, and overall missing everything I loved about it.

I am so disappointed in the 15 model. After years of wearing this shoe, it is now too short and too narrow. I hope that Brooks goes back to its original model.

I could NOT stand these on my feet. The inside is too cushiony and smooth... my feet were moving all around because the socks + that smooth material was not a good combination. I couldn't get these off fast enough. My heel was flopping out and my foot didn't stay still inside the shoe either.

I completerely agree with the reviewer who said go back to the Glycerin 14. I waited for 9 months for the Glycerin 15 to come out and was extremely disappointed when I got them. I returned them and ordered another pair of the Glycerin 14.
