Very comfortable shoe. It is great if you have plantar fasciitis and need a good supportive shoe. I'm a fan!!

Even better than the 16!! So I typically rotate through the a Ghost and Glycerine during my runs, an have for years. With the 16, I liked it, didn't love it, but I do love the 17. Where I would typically run in my Ghosts for long runs, now I don't mind running in either pair!!! Fabulous update to an already great shoe!!!

I'm a walker, not a runner and this is perfect. I only buy Brooks shoes now because they offer such good support for my bad back.

Love the color and style. Ordered a 7 which I always wear in Brooks shoes but had to send back for a 7.5.

I love these shoes so much I bought a second pair to stash in my closet for when the first pair I bought needs replacing. I am a personal trainer and am on my feet a lot and need something comfortable and supportive without squishing my toes in. The stretchy toe box is AWESOME. I have had ingrown toenail and callus issues that have improved so much since getting these shoes. I have other shoes, such as Brooks Ghost, but these have become my go-to shoe. I would have liked the loop on the tongue of the shoe (the one the laces go through) to have been offset like other models as it is a more effective design. More color options where the midsole is not all white would be nice in future models.

These shoes are super comfortable. I work in a hospital and am on my feet all day. I bought three pairs of theses in 2 weeks because I love them so much. Fit true to size. If your on the fence about these give them a try. You won't be disappointed.

These are great shoes for neutral runners. They are currently the shoes I use to keep my bad knees in check while running everyday. However, they are actually not soft enough for me naturally; I replace the inserts with orthotics.

I have been wearing Glycerin since I became a runner. I love the cushy ride and the color selections.

After being a short distance runner for 20 years, I though I had lost that ability due to pain in my hips and knees. After not being able to run for the past couple of years, I purchase the Brooks Glycerin 17. Guess what!??!? I CAN RUN AGAIN PAIN-FREE!

Bought these for my dad and grandma and they love it. They have wide feet so these in wide version served well. I wish they would sell them in the Czech Republic so I don't have to ship them from the US.

Great shoe! I'm not a runner but do a lot of walking and this shoe is comfortable all day. I have a wide foot and have plenty of room in the normal width size. If you have a narrow foot, I imagine the normal width might be too wide.

I absolutely love Brooks running shoes! I have bought every generation of the Glycerin model and the 17 may be my favorite. The fit is perfect (I always buy a 1/2 size up for my running shoes). The amount of cushion is perfect and the toe box is wide enough that my foot does not feel cramped and the shoe does not feel tight as my feet swell. I got the purple/navy/gray color and have ordered a second pair!

Went from Ghost to Glycerin when the new Ghost came out, seemed to narrow, Glycerin is working out great! Wish it came in GoreTex!

I have been wearing the Adrenaline for many years. While it is a good shoe, the Glycerin prevails and here is why: a few weeks after running a half marathon, I sprained my right ankle, so when it came time to order new Brooks, I decided to try the Glycerin. PROS: The cushion insole is so comfy; the support from this shoe is amazing; the stability/guide rails assist in keeping my stride straight and consistent with every step; and Brooks offers narrow widths. CON: Only one (1) color option for each running shoe in a narrow width. Thank you Brooks for making a quality running shoe!
