Customer Reviews Brooks Glycerin 17

Same old glycerins! They're kind of ugly and heavier than I'd prefer, but they keep me from getting injured so I continue to buy them. Sizing ran the same for me as they have in previous iterations.

Glycerins are generally super plush and wonderful, and these are no exception. That said, I feel that the toe box is narrower and these feel heavier than the previous model. I'm keeping these to use for shorter (e.g. 5k) distances.

I usually wear Ghost, but wanted to try a shoe with more cushion. These are wide with a much wider toe box. I have to lace these tight or they feel like they slip on my heels. Definitely more cushion than the Ghost. I wear a 9.5 in Ghost and purchased same size in these. I prefer Ghost over these.

This is the first Glycerin I've gotten since the 14s (I have the 11s and 12s too), and I'm still not sure about this different style of the Glycerins and the fit. For one thing, I have flat feet and use half-foot orthotics and with this pair I had to size up to a 9 from an 8.5 which was always my standard size with the previous pairs, though, when I lined up the soles and insoles between my 14s and 17s, the sizes were the same. Be aware of that! Also, I never thought my feet were considered "wide" but these 17s definitely do not feel as nice as the 14s or even previous models in terms of having that nice wide toe box. Because of that narrow toe box, the 17s have been hurting the balls of my feet. I've had to toggle with and switch up the lacing to loosen up the fit, and the pain still seems to be there after a couple miles. I will keep running in them to see if they improve. Please bring back that original wide toe box! Not everyone who likes that necessarily has a "wide" foot! In terms of pros, the lavender color is awesome. And the shoe has a nice cushion.

I?m not a runner, but a walker. The shoes fit well and are comfortable. I?m able fast walk quite nicely in these shoes.

The fit is slightly different in the heel--it's a bit wider and doesn't fit me as well. I like everything else about the shoe, except for the laces. What happened? Why can't you get good shoelaces? These new, cheap, stringy laces get tangles and they just don't feel right.

The toe box is not as deep as the other Glycerins I have had. I also found I needed a size longer than usual. I wish you made the narrows in more than one color. I do love the cushioning.

I love my shoes but not the shoe strings there different than I usually come with my shoes I have to double knot them or they come untied.

Love these babies. Super cushion. Had planter fasciitis and now, no pain. It's wonderful to have such a wonderful shoe. It really grips the ground as well.

Good ride smooth transition. Four stars because they changed since the 15's and haven't been as good since.

I have a normal size width and I feel it runs big. Added thicker socks and it helps a bit, but thinking of returning them and going back to the launch shoe. Just feels like too much movement inside my shoes while playing pickle ball. While hill climbing it also bothers me.

Love the shoe but it runs nearly a full size small. Brooks shoe sizing has been getting smaller in several of my favorites. In the right size, this is a sweet ride that feels cushioned but responsive. The toe box is cozy with no unnecessary strapping.

they are quite comfy - not quite as comfy as the 16's will definitely buy them again like the wider toe box FYI: I am NOT a runner but I do walk a lot
