I've had two pairs of Glycerin 15s, and I was glad to find Brooks had not changed the fit or cushioning. In pictures, these appear to have gone the way of many running shoes in that they seem to have no toe structure. That's something I hate, even if a shoe is lighter weight -- it can feel when you're running that your toes are sliding off the insole. These, however, have added stiffness in the toe area that seems to prevent that. Fingers crossed that stiffness doesn't go away over time. I guess my only complaint about these is how ridiculously expensive they are. With a life of 500 miles per pair, I'll need two pairs a year, which makes them cost upwards of a dollar a day, which seems nuts to me.

I've been looking for a while now for a shoe that could replace my worn out Nike Pegasus 34s, which were just a solid, no BS shoe that was comfortable all day long. Nike went and ruined that shoe with the 35th iteration and beyond. These pretty much fill that void, and then some. As soon as I put them on, the fit was fantastic, and nothing about the shoe felt abrasive. Just soft as can be all around. At first, I thought maybe the amount of cushion was too much, but I'm quickly realizing that it's just right. I don't really run right now because of a back injury that I'm trying to get over, so I can't really speak to the performance of the shoe on that front, but I can say it's a comfortable shoe to wear all day. I only have two small nits to pick about this shoe. First, it doesn't offer the best traction on wet surfaces. If I could somehow make some kind of Frankenshoe with these and one of the Adidas shoes with the Continental rubber sole, it would just about be perfect. Second, I'd like to see some more colors. The style is kind of blah on these shoes. I went with the gray/navy ones and they look fine, but it would be nice to have some more options.

I am not a runner. Last year I had to have my ankle fused. I need shoes with good support and comfort. These shoes are so comfortable. They provide the support I need so my feet do not hurt all the time.

I bought these to replace a pair of Brooks Adrenaline 19's. These are equally comfortable they felt great right out of the box! The traction is excellent! I went running the morning after Hurricane Dorian swung by Cocoa Beach, FL and even in puddles with mildew, they held the ground without slippage! The material dries out quickly and without causing any change to the shoe shape. Another great shoe from the good folks at Brooks!!!

My husband loves these. He is so thankful to be able to order his running shoes from Zappos and this shoe is a perfect example....because he can order wide widths. He has a high arch and aging feet that have pounded the streets and treadmills for decades So his feet have spread a and his bones are thankful for the extra width. Excellent running shoe. Highly recommended.

I am a PE teacher and runner. This is my second pair of Glycerin shoes, and I love them. I have had trouble with Plantar Fasciitis and heel pain for years. I got my first pair before last school year, and will not start another year without Glycerin's. The 17's have good support, feel snug on my feet, and have plenty of cushion in the heel. Unlike other heel cushions the Glycerin responds well to weight being applied to the heel. If I could afford every color I would get them all!

I love the Glycerins. The I walk my dogs 5 miles a day at a brisk pace. They know we are walking when the see me put on my Glycerins. The Glycerins help with my Neuropathy, Planters Fasciitis, and Achilles problems. The biggest problem is having to wait for the new Version and Colors (Orange and/or Blue)

Perfectly fit for me. I did an ultra distance charity run in Bali just 2 weeks ago. And this is my 5th Glycerin I bought since switching from Ghost.

This shoe felt extremely comfortable to stand in, however this shoe runs a bit narrower than the Ghost line and I need to return them. The Glycerin is not available in a 4e so I will continue my search for a highly cushioned neutral.

My husband and I both have a pair of these, and we love them! They are like walking on clouds or pillows. Once you wear these, you won't ever want to wear anything else.

This is a great shoe with a nice cushion that provides comfort during long runs. I have been an advocate for the Ghost for a few years, but this shoe is a great addition to the rotation. Might be a tad heavy for racing, but perfect for my long runs and recovery runs.

Been running since high school and have tried them all. Started with Brooks Glycerin about three years ago and just love them. I use them for running and casual wear. And Zappos makes it a win win with their fantastic service, the only way to buy shoes.
