Customer Reviews Brooks Glycerin 19

These shoes are my husband's favorite running shoes. They ran through 2 marathons this year.

Very comfortable. Great cushion as well as stability. I find these more comfortable and supportive than traditional court shoes for tennis.

This shoe gets great reviews and appears well made. Unfortunately I found the shoe to be a bit narrow compared to other shoes in the same size (and slightly less generous in the toe box) so I went with the Ghost 13.

perfect fit

Glycerin 17 was wonderful. This one is not. Toe box not wide enough nor high enough. Shoe is a half size shorter.

Great shoe, this is my second pair. Arrived early!

Absolutely do not buy if you have a profound/predominant achilles area. The heel tab on these shoes is extremely stiff and hard and will annihilate your achilles leaving a massive blister. In addition, the second flaw is that the toe box is narrower than previous models. Long story short... I have worn the Glycerin 13, 14, 15, 16, and the 17. The 17's twice, in fact, because the 18 has both of these awful design flaws as the 19's do. The Glycerin models 13-17 I never had any issues with. I ran several miles in the 18's and the heel tab completely annihilated my achilles area and the toe box was more narrow than previous models and I wore a wide size. I ran one mile with the 19's and the heel tab immediately began chewing up my skin. I thought maybe the 19's would improve with this flaw, but no. For the life of me, I cannot understand why Brooks would change this element of their incredible Glycerin models of the past. I have a race this week and bought these shoes to maximize results. I'll just have to wear my worn down 17's. Never again will I buy shoes from Brooks which is too bad because I thought I'd forever be wearing the Glycerin's and even recommended them to friends all the time. Listen up Brooks!... fix these sadistic heel tabs and don't make your shoes narrower than they were in previous models. And clearly I am not the only one with complaints with this shoe as a loyal Glycerin customer of the past. I gave two stars because the design is great and offers nice high arch support. If you don't have a wide tow box and profound achilles area, you'll probably be okay.

I really disliked how tightly these gripped my heel. I’ve never felt anything like it in a running shoe and I couldn’t even walk a couple steps with them on. Too bad too as I liked they way they looked.

These take a while to break in, but once they loosen up a little they are great. My knees are in bad shape and so comfort is the most important variable when I'm buying shoes. These are comfortable enough to wear and they are very easy on my knees so far. Much softer than the Ghost shoes which I bought last time.

The changec from glycerin 18 to 19 is for the worse. Less support and it doesn't fit my orthodic whereas the 17 and 18 did. It pops up and doesn't let my foot rest securely in the body of the sneaker
