Great Shoes, have been running in Glycerin models for several years now. No plans on switching to anything else in the near future.

Bought these at a specialty running store. I spend my work days on my feet the entire shift. Ive worn asics, saucony, and new balance and have had some successes, BUT, these are a whole new ballgame. Since day 1 ive had no foot, ankle, knee, hip, or back pain. Its been a while since ive owned a pair of Brooks but this will be my go to brand moving forward and the Glycerin 17 is a top notch shoe!

I used to wear Brooks size 12 women's ghost or adrenaline styles. I have orthotics and use them for the arch support. The Ghost 11 had a narrower toe box than in the past, and I never wore them. The clerks at the Running Fit Store told me that Brooks 12 had changed back to the wider toe box. Yay! I bought the men's 10 1/2 regular which they said compared to the 12 wide women's. I am happy !

I started running with Brooks' PureCadence series. I loved the feel and the response, and there was nothing quite like the original PureCadence. But the Glycerin 17 fits the bill for me and is a great replacement for the PureCadence. More cushion than the PureCadence but still responsive, and extremely comfortable. The footbed is perfect for me and the materials are light, breathable and lace up snug but not tight. Glycerin 17 is a huge win for me. Great shoe for the runner who prefers comfort and that classic PureCadence feel.

I do not run because of my knees, one was already replaced and the other is getting close to replacement. I work all day on a concrete floor and the glycerin 17 soften up the walking on concrete for 9 hours. They are the best thing I have found yet for this purpose.

The Glycerin 17's are the best running shoes I've ever owned . Mind you they are my first pair of Brooks ever. I wish I had went to Brooks a long time ago. I feel like I'm running on clouds. They have fantastic cushion which is just what I needed. The fit is also perfect for me . It feels as if they were tailor made just for me. Just wish they didn't cost so much. But in this case I got what I paid for . Great shoes !

I had the Ghost 9 shoes prior, and the Glycerin shoes seem much lighter (I need all the lightness I can get). They are very comfortable and supportive, and feel good even without my orthotics in them. I love them! I have only had them for a couple of months, so durability remains to be seen.

I love the floating feeling of the Glycerin 17. The only downside is this is my 3rd pair because the tread just doesn't last. It is worth the investment to me to stay pain free, but wish it wore just a little longer.

I have worn the Glycerin shoe for several year models and still love them. I needed a neutral footbed and these are the best.

Just got these for XMas, love the look and feel. Right amount of cushion, I saw some complaints about the laces but I like them.
