While nursing a bruised bone in my foot, while training for a 50 miler, my doctor recommended these. I have high arches and tend to have tight calves. These shoes have been amazing. I will continue to purchase them! Thanks Brooks!

I bought Brooks because all the serious runners at my OTF gym wear them and my Nikes were on their last leg. Generally Brooks look like dad shoes to me but once I received these Brooks Glycerin 17 I was surprised at how cute they are and how low profile they look on my foot. but! more than that, they fit my foot very well! I usually wear a 7.5 or 8 in regular shoes and I go to an 8 in Nikes. I got an 8 in this shoe. there is enough space in front of my toe for when your feet swell after running. the fit around the sides is snug but not tight. the sole is cushioned and it feels sooo good walking on these. I can also feel the arch support on the inside is not too high but still supportive. I have a high arch after years of gymnastics and its hard for me to find shoes that fit good on the bottom and the top. these did! so excited

You know when you put on a shoe and say OMG!!! I’ve been wearing bikes but this brooks feels like it’s made for my foot. And great cushion. An arch I can actually feel and I have very high arches. And the color schemes are great!!

The Glycerin is the best all day shoe ever. I use it for exercising, walking, traveling and all day touring. I can walk 16-20,000 steps a day without a problem. They’re comfortable and supportive. I’ve tried lower priced ones, but I can’t last as long in them. Glycerins are pricey, but worth it.

These shoes are comfortable - just what I expected. They also are in a nice black color, which is nice because I can "sneak" them at work.

I am a Brooks loyalist! Have been with Ghost until the version 11 disappointment . Decided to try the Glycerine-I am in love!! More room in toe box, love the support. Bought 2 pairs.

I've had these for a few months now and they feel great. I walk at least 18 miles a week and Brooks shoes always hold up well. The light purple and blue color are fun and I've gotten a lot of compliments on them.

I like this version better than last years. Seems to have more cushion & support. I always wear a 9.5 in Brooks which is a full size up from my normal street shoe size. I got the purple & it’s a lovely shade of lavender. Glad they came back in stock.

These sneakers are super comfortable and the color is so stylish. I’m really tempted to order a second pair to have on hand when the first pair gets worn out!

I run about 20 miles a week swapping shoes between the Glycerin, the Hoka Bondi 6 and the New Balance Fresh Foam. The Brooks Glycerin 17 is by far my favorite of them all. Cushion gives but the not comprising and my ankles brother my less when running than with the other shoes which are ok shoes but this is my flag ship. About to buy another pair for me and my mom.

I have a bunion on one of my feet that constantly hurts. These shoes are like walking on pillows. Wide toe box and super cushiony. I'm a huge fan of Brooks and have tried many different styles. The Glycerin 17 is by far my favorite - so much so I'm going to get another pair for when these are changed for next year. I sized up half a size for additional room. :)

I wear my normal running shoe size in these, which is about a half size bigger than street shoes. I recently had both a knee replacement and a stress fracture in my foot and these shoes are super comfortable. I am trying to get back into walking 2-3 miles daily for exercise, and they are both supportive and soft on my foot. I replaced the insole with a blue Superfeet insole.

I have used these every day for 6 months now, I have walked, ran, and even hiked 3500 ft in elevation a few times. I absolutely love my Brookes, I also have a pair i use 9 hours a day for work for the past year!

I love these shoes. I've been running in Glycerin's for the past 3-4 years and I love the looks of these, as well as the fit. They're not as big as some of the previous models (more streamlined to your foot), but just as cushy. I love that. I have a separate pair of glycerin's for work. (I also have the Brooks Transcend for work - also amazingly cushy.) Since I'm on my feet all days as a PE teacher, I need shoes with lots of support and cushion. These are perfect for the job. You cannot go wrong with a pair of Brooks!
I'd also recommend:
Brooks are the best

This is the 3rd version of this running sneaker I have purchased and they have stayed true to size, fit and performance. I noted half size small, because while I wear an 8 in these, I am a 7.5 in all other shoes and sneakers.
