Love the Glycerin. This is my 4th pair and I just can't find any other shoe that competes with it! Being a nurse keeps you on your feet ALL day long and the heel support that I get from this shoe is not like any other that I've ever had. If you are a healthcare professional, you won't be disappointed!

This shoe is probably one of the best Glycerin shoes they ever made. If there is only one draw back is the color's

I found the Glycerin 15 and thought it couldn't get better. I was wrong. The 17 are even better.

Very comfortable. Just the right amount of support. I have noticed that my toes can feel a little cold on cold mornings, but only for a few minutes till I really get into my walk. I am very happy with them. Bought three pairs.

I love it! Just bought a pair six weeks ago and planning to get another for backup. Never had a better shoe than this. Good job Brooks!

Thank goodness for Zappos for allowing me the freedom to purchase shoes online! what a gift. So these shoes are comfy, they re not as wide as i thought but i think they re a good fit. i ll be trying them at home for awhile longer before i make my decision. There s a noticeable difference between the Glycerin 16 and this one the 17. They dont seem to sell 16 anymore, unfortunately.

I used to wear Ghost 10. The Glycerin 17 model is second to none. Great toe box and superb cushioning so far. Compared to the Ghost 10, my size 10 on Glycerin feels about 1/2 cm longer. To me it is perfect since I wear orthotic insoles.

These are being used by my husband. He is 6'8 and 250 pounds and finds these very comfortable. They were picked because we both love Brooks (comfort and durability) and because the coloring is so great and neutral, making the shoe able to be worn more casually without being an eyesore like most athletic shoes.

I love the fit and size. I'm a bigger, heavier runner. These shoes are my new favorite pair because they support my weight and the pounding I impose on my body. The pain in my knees, hips, and shins has dramatically decreased after my runs. I'm a new fan of Brooks and will buy them again next time.

The Glycerin 17 is an awesome shoe. I tried Saucony Triumph 17 and the toe box was tight. I tried on the Glycerin and the game was over. I ran in both and Brooks wins hands down!

I’m an RN and spend 12 hour shifts on my feet. Was always hurting until I found brooks glycerine. I’ve had 7 pairs since version 13. They have saved me. Version 16 looked like unicorn poop or dipin dots so I tried new balance more foams and regretted it. Came back for version 17.

I have high arches so these shoes cradled my foot well. My only complaint is my parents live a few states away and I am unable to show them how fast these shoes make me run.

With Brooks I always order a size up from other brands. I got these for walking as they were rated well on websites for planter fasciitis. These are incredibly cushioned and feel supportive. None of my Brooks have ever broken down. Other brands, eventually always do. I've tried Ghosts and Adrenalines but these are easily the most cushioned.

Second pair this year. Perfect shoe for the long days. Excellent comfort and build quality. A smart choice for long runs in the southern heat, hills, and humidity.

Best running gear ever purchased!!! Last year ruptured my achilles tendon and had a lengthy recover. I could never find my stride until I stepped into this sweet ride! I managed to participate in 3 triathlon events this past summer and I owe it all to Brooks! Thank you so much! I am a Brooks athlete for life!!! On to the next.......run for fun and beyond!!!

I've had the Glycerin 15s for a while, tried some Nikes and switched back to the Glycerin 17s as they are way more comfortable. I wear a size 10 normally but found that size in the Glycerins to be great in terms of length but the width (even with the EE) were squeezing my feet so I went up to a 10.5. These are a little larger than I would ideally like but the width is now perfect.

I have worn the Glycerin for the past few years. The first pair I bought were the 12 and have upgraded every year. Just like every year the 17 is an improvement over the 16. I love the way they feel when walking/running. I don't anticipate changing shoes unless Brooks completely changes the glycerin.

Great cushion with a nice energy return. Roomy throughout which is perfect for my Barney Rubble feet.
