Shoes are really helping to minimize and eliminate the pain from the bottom of my heels. The size was correct for me, 12. I would buy again because of comfort. Look great too.

I've been running in Asics for years, in the Gel Nimbus most recently. I was looking for a supportive, cushioned shoe that didn't feel sluggish. These fit the bill. Have about 60 miles on them thus far and really love them. Fit true to size. Think I'm a Brooks guy now.

Love the cushioned ride. I injured myself a few months ago. So far no pain with these.

Great shoes. I am a female, but I always get the same size in men’s shoes and they never fail. Great cushioning and tongs of support for my feet. Definitely worth the $$

As always, the Glycerins feel like a glove on my foot! I use these for both distance runs and HIIT workouts, and my feet always feel great!

The Glycerin 18 is a great shoe for comfort, stability, and cushioning. I primarily use this shoe for recovery runs and easy runs in between trail running and workouts. It's been a reliable shoe that gives me what I need to recover from hard workouts and keep on running.

Well, it’s a Glycerin. Meaning a cushioned but solid and stable chassis that goes another couple hundred miles more than the cheaper competitors. Not a big fan of the new style, but I buy for the chassis, not the looks so much. I just need it to work and Glycerins always deliver. At least for the 16, 17 and 18’s.

I am probably not a good reviewer as I do not run but I do walk over 2 miles each day and these shoes provide wonderful support and comfort. Thanks for creating such a shoe Gene

I love my Glycerin 18's. I'm a tall runner in his early 50's. My Glycerins are super comfortable and offer me the perfect amount of cushion and support. I've been running with them for over 5 years now. Enjoy them!

Incredible running shoe. Just had surgery on both feet and shoe selection was scary. These running shoes are the right shoe at the right time. Been running for 30 years and they may be the very best yet.

I had a pair of the Glycerin 17, and they were good! After first glance, the 18s appeared more to have a more minimalist (i.e., less sole bulk) compared to the 17s, and I liked this feature. Also, the material is different for the 18s and seemingly less of it, perhaps. The fit is like a glove, and is VERY comparable to the 17 edition. Also, it's nice to have more color options with the 18s. Spoiler alert: I purchased 2 pair of the 18s since I enjoyed the first pair so much!

Great shoes. Remind me of some of the best previous versions. Excellent cushioning got rid of some hip pain. I just ran 4 miles and they were great. I am 220 lbs. These will replace an old pair of levitates

I have trained for and run 8 marathons in the past 11 years, 6 of which on Brooks. But it took me a while to land on my favorite model. I have tried the Adrenaline, the Levitate, and the Ghost. My search was finally over when I tried the Glycerin for the first time a couple of years ago, and I haven't switched ever since! I love the lightness, the softness, and the cushion. I cannot complain too much about the looks, but I must admit that sometimes I feel envious of other Brooks' models that are a bit more forward-thinking in terms of their design aesthetics. For me, the Glycerin is the shoe to beat!

I only have about 30 miles on the current pair, but I'm loving them so far. I expect that will continue as this is, I think, my fifth or sixth pair of Glycerins. I haven't found a reason yet to try another shoe. Cushioning is great. They are durable -- I try to take shoes out of service after 425 miles and they always go significantly longer, then become walking shoes until there's nothing left.

Quick Bio: 200 lb marathoner. About 50 miles a week on a bike path. High arch. I've run in seven models/12 versions of Brooks. It's my new favorite shoe. I used to like the Brooks stability shoes because I'm a heavier runner, but since Brooks added the guide rails, I can't run in any of their stability shoes (The top of the rail creates a blister on my arch), so I've been trying netural shoes. It's cushioned like the ghost, but not accessively. The stripped-down upper makes it run like a faster shoe, but the landing is so soft, it makes it the perfect marathon shoe if you're a 4+ hour marathoner like me. This and Ravenna 9 are the only shoes I have ever bought multiples of. It's the wedding dress of shoes. I put it on and within a few steps I knew it was perfect for me.

Best max cushioned shoe this year. The Glycerin is consistently exceptional and this newest version is amazingly light. The upper is soft and stretchy and the midsole is that great combination of cushion and response.
