I alternate between ghost and glycerin and typically buy last years model when it goes on sale. In the past, both shoes felt great right from the start. I wear a 10.5 and both shoes seam like the arch is pushed back a bit. Maybe they are now narrower? I?ve always taken a standard ?D? width. Anyway, they seem to break in after a few runs and I still love them but it has me considering other shoes. I?ve been enjoying brooks shoes to run in for about 10 years. I?m a 1/2 marathon runner.

Have run with Brooks for the last 13 years. I have run with Ghost and Glycerin, most recently Ghost. Love the shoes. My new pair seem to be a little snugger than prior pairs. Still breaking them in.

I have a pair of Glycerin 18 11.5 and they fit perfect . This shoe not as wide in the toe area and is definitely narrow compared to my 18s. Wore them several times and have been weary my 18s again. Too narrow .

I bounce between the ghosts and glycerin depending on my run calendar. The cushion and support are great. They just run real tight in the toe box. I have ghosts 14 currently and they are very roomy. Upgraded to the glycerin 19 to help with longer road runs and my toes were real tight. I lace them loose and it works. I'll keep them, but definitely order up a size or wides next time. They do have a nice low heel back which previous designs have been high and rub weird. This is definitely an improvement.

Good fitting shoe. Definitely has a lot of cushion for support. Only ding on the shoe, it was a bit lighter in the grey color than I envisioned from the picture online. I was looking for a much darker grey. Other than that, pretty good shoe.

Like their predecessor, they are a bit snug across the top. Loosening laces helps and they do get "broken in" after a bit, but the initial tightness may discourage new potential buyers.

The shoes are made a lot cheaper than were the 13 and 14s. I walk 5 miles a day and the glycerin was my go to shoes. However, the 19s are not nearly comfortable enough for daily long walks. Looking at a different brand.

I have two pairs. I liked them initially. But, I think they might have too much cushioning for me. Somehow I don?t feel quite as stable as when I wear my ghost 12s. (two pairs also) or ghost11 and ghost 10

I wear a men?s U.S. 11 size and I own a wonderful pair of Ghost 9. I ordered an 11 size Glycerin 19 and the left shoe was just a little to small for comfort. I gave them to my son, whom they fit perfectly. I replaced the Glycerin 19?s with Ghost 14 in size 11. They fit perfectly.

General review, I?ve run Brooks and Glycerin for years but I need a narrow fit. Recently this shoe is not available in B, am disappointed at the change and have had to move to other shoes as a result.

It fits! I?ve had Glycerins since model 13s. They feel a bit more snug than past version but still usable, didn?t need a different size.

I love the Glycerin, but this is my second pair of the 19' and it feels more narrow than my first. I am going to give them a few more runs and see if they break in a bit. My first pair were great out of the box....and my G20's have been great out of the box too. I think it may just be a defective pair.

Downside: my orthopedic inserts I've been wearing for years in previous brooks models, once inserted into the shoe don't leave enough room for my feet. Unsure why this model is so different. I may be forced to try a different product do not fit into the Glycerin 19.

Nice and soft as always, but the toe box keeps getting tighter. Been running Glycerins since the 12, but this might be the last one. I expect the 20 will be too tight?!.

I love the shoe overall. I am a 5 mile/day walker. I love the cushioning. The outer sole wore much better than the Ghosts I had been wearing. My only complaint is that as the shoe ages, the metatarsal arch area padding loses its support. This can put stress of the structures of the forefoot.

Really enjoy this shoe and it provides the right amount of comfort, support, and responsiveness. I previously wore Ghost 12?s and these feel very similar.

Too narrow for me but it seems like it would have been good otherwise. I went with the ghost instead and love that.

The first Glycerin that I have purchased after many of the Ghost models. The Glycerin is a great shoe but I do prefer the Ghost.
