This is a wonderful shoe. I’m what they call a Super Clydesdale. I tip the scales at just over 400lbs. These are the only shoes that give me comfort, support and will hold up to the abuse that I put them through.

My 4th pair of the Glycerin. I'm 6'3" and 240 lbs. This shoe provides excellent support for a person of my weight. The shoe may be a bit heavier for a person that is under 200 lbs.

Fit perfect and great cushion. I stand on a hard surface all day and my legs and back felt great at the end of the first day I wore them.

I've always been a fan of another brand shoe, but after doing some research, Brooks Glycerin 17 jumped out at me. They certainly exceeded my expectation. If you're in doubt, dont be!

Bought for vacation to Disney World. Felt like walking on clouds the whole trip. My feet did not get tired. We averaged about 20,000 steps per day.

If you liked the Glycerin 16, you will like the Glycerin 17. The midsole in the 17 seems exactly the same as the 16; it's the perfect combination of plush cushioning without being too soft. I like that these come in EE width; I typically wear wide shoes (or brands like Altra and Topo with foot-shaped toe boxes).

My husband complains about his back and not being able to find shoes wide enough. Finally I have found some that fit him.

I went up one half size and definitely needed the EE. Ordered 9.5EE and 10EE. Very comfortable and lots of support. Let’s see how they wear over time.

Great fit. Low volume so I used thin SOLE footbeds, medium felt too tight. Overall light plush and responsive. Good support.

I used to run in the Brooks Launches until they completely updated the cushion and now they have almost none. Switched to the Glycerins after they updated and I feel like these are the perfect marriage of cushion and support. I used to only run in Brooks (Launches & Ghosts), now these are the only Brooks model I'll actually run in.

Excellent fit! I am 6'5" and this shoe supports me very well. It holds my foot at the heal much better than other shoes I have had in the past from other brands. No shifting or blisters and it minimizes knee strain with its excellent cushiony sole. Highly recommend.

These are the most comfortable shoe Ive ever owed. I'm a machine operator and I'm on my feet all day long and Ive always been an Asics guy buying Nimbus or Kayno's but theses are more comfortable. My first pair of Brooks and they won't be my last!
I'd also recommend:
