The size and fit were fine. There wasn't enough arch support for me. I returned these and will get the ghost model which has excellent arch support.

Size was true.....I wore a 6.5 in the ghost13 and same in the glycerin. I am still breaking them in. I found in the previous pair it took a week or so. However so far I like Brooks and like the Glycerin 18. Not a 5 star rating because I am still breaking them in. I am confident they will be great!! Comfy out of the box, true to size and width. My arches like it too. I have a neuroma so the left foot and it takes some adjustment time for a new sole. Recommend.
I'd also recommend:

I am trying on Brooks shoes and feel very disappointed in the lack of support that I felt with my old Brooks 13. WHAT is happening? I am reading reviews and feeling discouraged.

Glad I ordered both the Brooks Glycerin and the Aerial, because the Glycerins definitely did not fit. Even though I ordered wide the toe box felt pretty narrow and there didn’t seem to be much support. Thank goodness, the Aerials were perfect!

I wanted to like these, but they felt very narrow in the toe box. I have a normal width foot and don't wear a wide width, but these made the ball of my foot feel scrunched up.

These are not black. They are dark grey. I was disappointed as they are described as black.

Overall they are fine, but the cushioning has significantly decreased over last year's model. I have 3 pairs of Glycerin and these are not as nice on the footbed. Not bad, still good, but not like previously. I'm a bit disappointed.

Not as soft or as much arch support as the Glycerin 17, but still a good shoe.

Love the light feeling these have. Only downside is they run a bit small (and I ordered them online), so unfortunately they impact on one of my toes (this is my fourth pair of brooks glycerins so it seems to be a change with the 18).

I love this shoe, though I wish narrow came in other colors. Very limited options.

The soles do not compare to the comfort of the PureFlow Brooks shoe. Wish I could have a pair of them again!

I wanted to love these, but the toe box was a little small and with no real textured pattern there on the top of the sneaker, I figured they would won’t wear well. They were returned. The leopard print trim is cute, wish they worked. Otherwise fit and support were excellent.

My only complaint is the back of the heel goes up a little higher and more rigid than my previous running shoes (New Balance 1080) and caused blisters on my first long run.

I bought these shoes for the cushioning and they were definitely amazing for that. Great looking, great fit. Unfortunately they caused blisters on the inside of my heel, probably due to where the glycerin inserts rubbed on my foot. So I'm returning them.

Love Brooks running shoes. Especially the Glycerin model. The 18 is nice. However the 16 is the best yet so far.

I bought these in size 6.5 but then based on reviews thought my sandal size 6 would work. The 6 was tight so I returned and kept the 6.5 which was much more comfortable.

Great shoe, like running on a cloud. I have a very thin foot and feel the glycerin 17 have a little more support but, do like them. Very light weight. Great colors!

I love my Glycerin's, I just wish they came in some more exciting colors. I have the gray and the funky mildewy green color which I like, I would definitely get a couple more pairs if they had a tie die, or some brighter colors, not a fan of white or black and the blues are just dull.

These are still great shoes, but this version runs smaller than previous versions and feels a bit more minimalist than previous versions as well. I hope they don't go the way of Ravennas & become a totally different shoe!
