18 months ago I left Nike behind and became a huge Brooks fan. 6 Different Pairs of shoes later and I cannot wait to buy my next one. I would ask one thing from Brooks. I need more options in width 2E or the ability to custom build shoes (I am willing to pay a premium)

Not as cushy feeling as the Glycerin 17, but still a high quality running shoe. Comfortable and responsive ride, especially after the first few runs. The reduced weight from the 17 to the 18 is noticeable - the shoe feels a bit faster than the 17, and less clunky overall (maybe a tradeoff for the reduced cushion). I also like the styling better than the previous Glycerin.

My feet can take a pounding when power walking. I do 5 miles daily and really needed to upgrade my shoe. This has done the trick for me.

These shoes are fantastic! Super comfortable when I run. My feet are very narrow and I am able to tighten these up to hug my foot well. I'm very happy with the cushioning.

I have been wearing Brooks shoes for 40 years and I have always been pleased with the different styles I have worn over the years. The Glycerin 18 is the most comfortable shoe I have ever worn. It provides so much cushion I feel like I am walking on air. I am older and heavier now and I really appreciate the wide size. My feet have never felt so good. I liked them so much I bought a pair for my wife and she feels the same as I do. If you want pure comfort these are the shoes to get.

These shoes are honestly the best pair of shoes I have ever owned and I already had over a dozen other Brooks shoes. They fit perfect and make being on your feet enjoyable.

The shoe fit a bit tight before breaking in, but that is what I wanted. Seems to be a highly stable and durable shoe.

I've run on Glycerin's for years. This is the best pair of running shoes I've ever had. They are stable, soft and light. It took about a week and 30 miles to break them in. Once done, they formed to my feet and almost got a bit softer. Great job, Brooks!

Comfortable, could use a bit more stability in the mesh towards the front of the shoe.

I'm not a runner. Wear them for walking and they give great support.

All are great shoes!
But, Too many white soles on your shoes. So hard to keep clean even when treating them.

Not quite white. Would have liked it a little brighter. Almost dingy looking. Very high quality uppers. Expected quality sole for a $100+ shoe. I compared these to the Gel Nimbus. The ASICS were blue and looked like they would show less dirt. These are a neutral shoe and would be good for people who roll out on their ankles. Better than the Gel Nimbus. The ASICS make you feel like you are way up on your toes. These are the better shoe if you can find the right color.

Simply the best, but I usually opt for the Ghost to get the toe box roominess.

Great style and comfortable with the exception of the fit at the ankles. I’ve tried two different pairs of this same shoe and both hurt my ankles at the same exact place.

Size and fit for me (10.5, EE) is great. I find these to be great as a running shoe but not as an all around trainer. The soles are VERY soft and for days that I do HIIT training classes, I find the soles to be way too squishy. If I do single leg exercises that require stability, these make things a bit more difficult than my other shoes with a firmer sole. Otherwise, great shoe for runners or people who spend all day on their feet.

Great shoe. No issues. Ran on it a full 6 months. If anything, they were borderline too snug when I got them, but they were stretched perfect within a couple weeks.

The shoes is good. The only concern is that it's having less grip, compared to the ghost series that I was having. Need to check if I can get this replaced with a ghost 13.

I previously have owned a pair of Ghost 7, Glycerin 14, and Glycerin 17. I believe the Glycerin 17 pair was the best. This pair of Glycerin 18 feels stiff and seems to have less cushion in the heel as the 17 model. It is a good shoe, but I was hoping for an improvement or similar fit as the 17.

I have been running in the Glycerin model for the past 3 years and have loved every pair! However, the 18 model was changed and there doesn't seem to be as much toe room in the toe box. I see my toe impressions every step I take and am concerned about my toes wearing a hole at the top.

I'm an RN, ER mostly. I've been wearing the glycerine for 8 years. I miss the old colors. Best comfort for the job, and thats what matters most. I want someone to come out with a shoe that's meant to provide the most comfort for 12 hours straight.
