I wear this shoe for an aerobics class, so I purchased a half size larger and it's a perfect fit. It has good support and is so comfortable!

I love this shoe! I have been wearing this shoe since the Glycerin 10. Until now the 11 was my favorite. But the 17 beat that one in my book. It's got great cushioning and overall a lighter weight shoe. This shoe supports my custom orthotics without difficulty. I absolutely love this shoe and have 3 pair!

I love Brooks running shoes! I've worn several styles and found the Glycerin 17 to be the most comfortable thus far, although, it runs on the small side, so I order a size larger than my other running shoes. I've had foot surgery and struggled with pain, so I've tried lots of shoes for a wide toe box coupled with a glove-like, seamless shoe construction that will provide maximum comfort. This, along with some great cushioning has given me some freedom to get going again and more pain-free steps than I've experienced in months, so I'm extremely pleased....and done searching!! I just wish there were more COLOR CHOICES in size wide. Just because women have wide feet doesn't mean we don't like cute sneakers!! Do you hear me, Brooks??? Great shoes....more colors, please!!!

I have a lot of sharp heel pain and once I started wearing this shoe 99% of the pain was gone. The cushion value of the heel design is wonderful - I can finally take a step and not hurt or limp.

Best shoe I have owned in quite awhile, and I have a lot. Much more cushion than the glycerin 15 and 16. Please don't change a thing. Spacious toe box with nice support, but the best feature is the soft cushion. I have them in 3 different colors. I teach and coach, so I am on my feet all day. I can tell a big difference when I don't wear them.

The shoe is the ultimate in comfort. My Morton's Neuroma usually bothers me starting at about mile 8 or 9, but I was able to run a half marathon without any pain. The toe box is generously sized & the cushioning is first rate. My only complaint is that during trail runs, small gravel can permeate the uppers.

Overall a good, stable athletic shoe. I have extremely high arches and sensitive feet so I needed to replace the insoles that come with the shoe, but they are very comfortable now. The style is neither crazy fashionable nor dorky, its pretty average. I normally wear a size 6 but purchased a 6.5 in these to make room for my insoles and potentially thicker socks.

These are the most comfortable running shoes I have ever owned. I have plantar fasciitis and these shoes are great!

It's perfect and I especially like the cushioning without bulk and the wide toe box.

Love that they are now in more neutral colors! Best running shoe from a cushion and stability standpoint. I actually use them for my HIIT workouts as the hold your heel in as well. I wear them everyday.

Fit was snug, I have a narrow foot so it wrapped great while providing enough room in the toe area to move. Very comfortable to run in.

The Glycerin is my all time favorite running shoe. I wore my Glycerin 16 shoes into the ground... always my go-to shoes, put tons of miles on them. Glycerin 17 shoes were an easy choice... I love them.
I like the way the upper is perfect around my foot and achilles, great out of the box. These are a softer shoe, which is what I prefer. That said, they can take a beating, as my Glycerin 16's are still in very respectable shape... even with a lot of miles. These shoes are extremely comfortable.

Could not be a better shoe! Lots of cushion, and the purple color is freakin' lit :)

I just retired my Glycerin 16 and these are just as good! So comfy. It’s like I’m running on air. I didn’t realize how worn out my old ones were. It took me several years to get the courage to send the money and buy a pair of Brooks and I wish I would have bought a pair sooner! They are the best!

Wow, so springy and bouncy! These are very comfortable, and supportive. Usually when shoes are springy, they are actually soft, and don't have support and my feet get sore. These are more elastic-springy, and feel terrific. I've bought Ghosts in the past but these win.

I love this shoe! It fit true to size for me. I have a narrow foot and it worked for me, so someone with a wide foot may need a wider width. Arch support and cushion is great! There was no "breaking them in" time needed. Put them on, wore them and never realized they were "new" shoes. I've now find my go-to brand and will definitely buy again.

I am in my 40's, a bit overweight and I run about 10 miles a week on pavement. I tried many different brands and versions and this won, by far!! The cushioning, the roomy toebox and the fit around the heel are all things I love! My chins and hips are happy and I have shed 2 mins per mile off my pace.

I've been wearing these for five years and love them. They have just enough cushion and support, and are still flexible and lightweight. The toe box from the balls of my feet to the tips of my toes is a bit roomier than these used to be. I like the breathable flexibility, but would like them to fit a bit snugger.
