Very comfortable and fits great. I was wearing a glycerin 17 and am very happy with the 18.

This is my first pair of Brooks shoes, before only wore Asics. I was looking to have a shoe which is designed to cushion and support in the right way, because I have lower back problems and pains triggered by high impact cardio. Ran in these shoes few times, no break in period, very comfortable right out of the box, feel very light too. No back pains after runs. I am very happy with my choice.

Love them! These are my first pair of real running shoes. My first run in them was 5 miles and they got me all the way! No blisters, no shin splints, nothing. Great shoes! They're worth the $$!

I've worn Glycerins for years, and I love the new 18s. I also really love the white and gray colors. I usually wear very colorful shoes, but the white ones are definitely my favorite ones to date.

I'm very impressed with this shoe. After months of struggling with shin splints and knee pain (while wearing other brands of running shoes), I'm able to run again without pain! I'd love to see more "fun" colors to choose from, but that's just cosmetic. Sizing was on point (I wear a 5.5 in all other shoes, and this 5.5 fits perfectly).

Thank goodness for these sneakers...they are getting me through quarantine!! And they're even *a little* cuter than my old 16's.

The shoes were nice and cushioned, but didn't feel bulky. The new laces kept the shoe from coming untied on the run. The upper shoe material was not restrictive, but also kept the foot in place. They felt good on the road, dirt, and grass.

The fit on the glycerin 18 is perfect for me. I wear a narrow width and this shoe fits me perfectly. I have worn the glycerin for many many years. This shoe appears to not have as much bulk in the toe box. The biggest plus is the shoe laces are the perfect length...no double knotting!! I really like this shoe..I am 67 and a runner.

I love them. I do have a pair of relatively new Levitates that the sole on the outside of the right shoe split. Is this a known issue? I would like to return them so you could see the problem. Where should I send them? I have had 6 or 7 pairs of Brooks and never had a problem before or since. I donate old ones to the shoe store at the local high school and they all look almost as good as new. Thank you.

Lightweight, very comfortable, nice cushioning. I just ordered a 2nd pair because I love these shoes! My very narrow (actually 4A) feet are most happy in Brooks Glycerin shoe style. The 18s are the most comfortable by far ( and I have been wearing this shoe style since 2008!). I do wish that Brooks would make the Narrow width in more than one color though.

Was worried comfort after reading some previous ratings. However I am loving this version of the glycerin! Didn?t like this shoe at all till the previous version, so glad I took a chance and got this newest one. It is even better! I wear a 7.5 but size up to 8?s. These feel like they have just a little more room in them than the previous version.

These shoes are so comfortable, mile after mile. I was having a lot of pain in my feet running post-partum, but since switching to the Glycerin, the pain has dissipated. Thank you Brooks!

I have a narrow arch and a wide toe box. I love this shoe. So comfy! I just wish that you offered a black on black option so that I could wear them to work. Glycerine 18 also helps with, what I call, sidewalk shock. My knees thank you!

Wasn?t sure what to expect with the new design but i love the fir - extra room in the toe box - very comfortable and what i have grown to expect from brooks. Also thank you for making a black shoe for women! Stylish and comfy - looking forward to many long power walks and runs with these ones!

Always a smooth ride with these. Older marathon runner who walk/runs at a comfortable pace. Have never had a blister or a sore spot. Actually have done 13.1 miles with the shoes right out of the box.

I have been buying these shoes for years love it that you have wide width. I have found for me they are the most comfortable and at the same time supportive. Thank you

I have a slender foot, not necessarily super narrow. These runners fit perfectly, my foot isn't swishing around and I don't to cinch the laces super tight. LOVE them! I'd order another pair today if they had another color in my size.
