Best sneaker ever! I need a lot of padding in my sneakers and these are perfect! They are not too wide in their footprint either - some comfy sneakers look clown-ish but these are very attractive. I LOVE these.

I love the Glycerin shoe model-I ran my first marathon In it and haven't found a shoe that compares in comfort and support! I order a half size larger.

My favorite running shoe! Whenever they start to wear out my knees start to hurt, then I replace them and voila my runs are ache free again! Wish they weren't so much, but they are very supportive and I usually get about a year out of them

Wife loves the 17s, says they are lighter and feels like they have more cushion than previous 16s. Always purchases the Glycerin model.

Followed the recommendation from other reviews to size up and I should’ve stuck with my true size.

I usually wear a 9.5 in Brooks road running shoes, so when Zappos recommended a 10.5, I thought it was mistaken. So I ordered a 9.5: way too small! Ordered a 10: kind of tight in the toe, but I thought the mesh upper just might need some stretching. I decided to go ahead and try the 10.5 just in case, and lo a behold, they fit. Crazy. I’ve never bought that size, ever. So don’t doubt the Zappos size recommendation this time. The shoes are a tiny bit roomier in the mesh upper area than I’m used to, but my toes aren’t squooshed, and the sole feels solid but light. I’m looking forward to putting many miles on these!

These are my first Brooks, and I have to say I LOVE them! They really keep my plantar fasciitis from hurting so much. They're so comfortable, it's like walking on clouds. I'll definitely be buying a second pair soon!

I really like these shoes. I'd say I've put about 20 miles on them so far and they've continues to be super comfortable. If I were to change anything I would maybe make the toe box a little wider but that's just a personal preference. I also wish they came in some more vibrant color ways, all the available ones seem dark or pastel

These are the first pair of shoes that are a perfect fit. Ghost & Adreneline both have narrower toe boxes. Need more large sizes in this shoe to be back in stock.

These are really made well, and feel perfectly supportive in spite of the soft/cushy feel. I thought they'd be too soft, like Hokas which don't feel good to my feet, but these fit like a glove. I wear a 7.5 in a running shoe, and these are true-to-size. They just really fit the shape of my foot, which is wide a the forefoot with a high arch. From heel to toe they feel perfect. Lots of good stuff under the ball of the foot, which is where lots of athletic shoes fail. Nice round toe, and the wide width is great - not too swimmy roomy but plenty of room for a thicker sock.
I'd also recommend:
Mizuno, Saucony

Love these running shoes. The toe box is wide enough for my moderate bunions and the heel still narrow for a snug fit. The cushioning is great and has held up well in my previous pair. I hope Brooks doesn't change anything about them!

Very cushioned heel without feeling like it’s high off the ground. I use these for running and HIIT workouts.

These feel great with a moderate amount of cushioning. I especially love the length and feel of the shoelaces! I am very pleased with these and will probably order a second pair to have on hand for when it’s time for new ones!

My local running shoe store told me there was a problem with a delay in the Brooks factory relocation and they had very limited stock. I was so happy to find these on Zappos! Very comfortable for my poor bumpy bunions. I did size up from my normal 7.5 to an 8.5 to get the comfortable fit I needed. This is my second pair of Brooks and I am never going back to Asics or Saucony as long as Zappos continues to stock them.

I’ve needed new running shoes for about a year but have been slow to find something I like. These are great! Maybe a little bit long in the size (just barely) but it’s nice to avoid hitting your toes during runs anyways. I tighten up the laces to accommodate the slightly longer length. Perfect width. I do have a wider foot so these may feel too large for someone with narrow feet. The color and style is very cute!
