Customer Reviews Brooks Glycerin 18

Brooks should have left the Glycerin 17 alone. I had to order the wide in the 18 because the 18 runs too narrow and the medium irritated my neuroma. Order a wide if your feet are average width. If u have wide feet...forget about it. Also, the 18 is stiffer. I will keep these but may consider another brand next time. Also had to order white because that was the only color available in the wide. Would have preferred another color. Brooks should also consider grey shoelaces for the white sneakers.

The ASIC shoe I used to wear no longer comes in a narrow with. Thought I’d try this. If you have narrow feet this is not the shoe for you. The narrow width isn’t narrow. Returning tomorrow.

I’ve been a die hard Glycerin fan since the 11s, and I’ve bought every style since. I feel like it’s either great or a miss, and the 18s feel like a miss. They aren’t as cushiony as the 17s, and after a few hours my feet started to feel tired which is unusual. The laces are better than the 17s which felt like thin paper. The look is almost the same and I like the black and rose gold. I give them a solid B rating. I’ve gone up a half size since the 15s. They just don’t feel like the clouds I’m used to. I really wish it was easier to get previous styles.

Loved them, but by the end of my first day, I felt my toes hurting. Returned them and waiting for the delivery of a half size larger.

I love Brooks! I walk 4 to 5 miles a day and have feet discomfort. I was very hopeful about these shoes from other reviews. But felt more foot pain and leg discomfort. Really disappointed. Slightly small fitting. But a very comfortable shoe if all I was using them for was errands. Love the color!!

the width felt very narrow compare to my hoka,s one one.

I found the material was light and breathable. I had a problem with my ankles not feeling secure even with the laces looped on the top hole. Also

Brooks has been cutting costs and just moving features around. I have been a regular Ghost user for years. I used to by Glycerin years ago but when they jacked up the price to $150, I started with Ghost. The latest Ghost does not have great arch support and they changed the heel fabric so it's stiff. Not comfortable at all. I hacked up the money for Glycerin and guess what? The same heel cushion they removed from Ghost, 2 versions back. This is a great shoe but not for the money. Thinking my next cushioned shoe will not be made by Brooks.

The fit and width was good but the footbed was not cushy enough enough for me.

I found these shoes to be really stiff and not enough cushion. I loved the 16's but these are not as comfortable. My ankles are screaming. I will look into returning them.

Unfortunately I have had to change to the Ghost due to the narrowed toe box of the new Glycerins. Glycerine was my go to shoe, but why they narrowed the toe box is beyond me. I am happy with the Ghost, but feel I had more arch support in the Glycerin. I ordered the 8.5 Wide.

The fit was fine but the upper is so unstructured that I fekt like my foot had no support when running.

I'm not sure what is happening with both Brooks and NB. These yearly updates stink - and they usually make the shoe worse. The 16's were great..why not offer the older versions as well as the newer? The newer don't have the same support along the sides of the shoe. They aren't as comfortable either.

They were cut to low for me and I didn’t feel like there would be enough support for my ankles. Sadly returning them.

The size was accurate but the shoe is very uncomfortable nothing like the Glycerin 16!

I don’t know what Brooks did to the 18’s but they sure ruined them. The 17’s were so comfortable. The toe box is small and uncomfortable. I’ve worn glycerin since the 6’s and these are the worst

After wearing the shoe for less than a week doing my traditional route I got shinsplints.
