Customer Reviews Brooks Glycerin 17

Really comfy, but too short of a shoe. I am a size 6.5 and ordered a size 7. The shoes were tight when I got them, but I figured I just needed to break them in. I have been running in them and they are too short - my toes continuously slam in the top of the shoe and I now have a couple of black toenails due to repeated friction from my toes to the top of the shoe. I would recommend sizing up for sure. Other than that great shoe

I was disappointed that this shoe didn't fit right in the toe box. My toes were getting caught on the hard top of the upper toe box causing blisters and an altered stride. Won't buy these again.

I've walked with joy in Glycerin models for several years. Unfortunately, the design changed with 17 and there is either not as much room in the toe box or it slants down more than previous generations. The 17 pushes down on my big toenail and I had to return it. It appears 18 generation has basically the same toe box style. So now I have to find a new shoe to wear.

The Glycerin 17 were very comfortable but they are wearing out fast! I have not put very many miles on them and the tread is wearing out so much quicker than my previous model of the same shoe.

I absolutely love these shoes. I have had them for a month. I walk about 5 miles a day. Today I noticed the soles were very worn out like I had been wearing them for 6 months. They are still comfy but I'm upset how the soles have worn.

I didn't like the 17 at all. Not much of a support or cushion. I own the 16 and it got me through full Marathon without any discomfort. Yet, the 17 can't run over 10 miles and my ankles hurt. I might return them. Very disappointed.

The sneakers fit well and comfortably. The material allows for good airflow; therefore, my feet never feel sweaty. However, The main issue I am having is that the sneakers do not seem to provide the heel and arch support I was expecting. Due to these two situations, I have pain when I take off the sneakers.

I've been wearing Brooks Glycerin shoes for almost a decade at this pointthey've always provided great support and comfort for my wide, high-arched feetuntil now. As someone with high arches, I'm not a fan of the tongue being sewn to the shoe so tightly on all (3) sidesit adds pressure and discomfort to the tops of my feet. While it's gotten a little better with wear (I've had them now for about 4 months), when I put on my old Glycerin 15s, they're so much more comfortable since they are not designed in this way. Also one of the holes for the laces busted in month 3 on these 17s, the material is less durable (which I get with the mesh/softer materials).

I have used the ghost for several years. I run half marathons regularly and am training for more marathon and long distance run. I need extra cushion due to a femur break several years ago. I've found walking in this shoe in distances greater than 3 miles starts to hurt the ball of my foot and my heels. I got the glycerin in hopes it would provide better cushion for my knees but idk if it's worth how it's making my feet feel. I plan to try a couple more long runs and walks otherwise o will need to return them. I am hoping it's just breaking them in....
