Customer Reviews Brooks Glycerin 19

I had a bad experience on my first run as the upper part of the shoe heel(upper edge of the shoe counter) rubbed a blister on my upper heel. I bent the shoe counter edge by hand a bit and after 2-3 runs the shoe conformed to my foot and is now very comfortable. Great cushion for my 216lbs, good width, light weight. I'm happy with the purchase.

Great shoe and good fit. Upon first time with shoe, it was snug (good for me a narrow foot) fit. It does loosen up of course. Nice cushioning, good support on the Glycerin, great customer support from Brooks.

I am a senior walker mainly. These Glycerin 19s will be my walking shoes so this review does not apply to running. I do occasionally jog (under 5 mph) and did not find the 19s to be as comfortable as 18s, but I only tried them on one 5-mile jog/walk. The last 4 versions of Glycerin have been great for walking (16, 17, 18 & 19). I buy 2EE to get a roomy toe box and they have been constantly sized for me from 16s to 19s.

Fits tighter than previous Glycerin 19's. More narrow, heel is much more snug/tight. Shoelaces significantly shorter. Seems like e very different shoe!

The shoe is like standing/walking/running on a cloud, but the back really digs into my ankle which makes it less than comfortable. This might be more of a me problem than a shoe problem, but this is the first set of Brooks that?s ever done it, so who knows. Otherwise they are very comfortable.

The shoes themselves are absolutely comfortable. The sole is just what I needed. My only complaint is the way the back of the shoe hits my Achilles tendon. It?s caused a sore and I had to wrap my ankle while wearing the shoes.

Love my glycerins 18. Toe box is wide and roomy in a men?s D width for the wide ball of my foot. The 19s are comfy but the tow box seems more narrow and shorter in height then the 18. Had to use a shoe stretcher worn a few layers of Sox to open up the toe a bit. Otherwise love them and they are my everyday, all the time shoes.

2nd pair of Glycerin. Very solid shoe.

Saw an online ad for these Brooks said it was their softest shoe ever. In the interest of protecting my joints I figured I'd give these a shot. Finally got the chance as the winter weather has been tough since the Christmas Holidays. Although the shoe fit was good I didn't find them cushier than the Ghost 14's that I also run in. And I got a blister above my heel which I didn't realize until I removed my sock. that being said I'll continue to use them(Glycerin19).

Pertect shoes. Can be Recommended

Nice fit and comfort, but the laces were a frayed mess of loose threads in the first couple weeks.

Very padded out and comfortable. Great for daily jogs around the neighborhood, not durable enough for serious dirt trail running or hiking in my opinion.

I've put nearly 300 miles on these shoes and they are getting ready to be retired soon. I originally came across these shoes as I was looking for something with a bit more cushion for my recovery and relaxed runs. I have always had great experiences with Brooks and this proved to be no exception. I had just retired some Ghost 12s that I had enjoyed, so I was tempted to get the next model of Ghosts but was turned to these. The Glycerin 19s were a bit roomier and they provided a lot more cushion compared to my retired Ghosts. It took some time to adjust to the heel drop, but I quickly came to enjoy these shoes. Brooks did a great job in my opinion (although I think I'll be going back to some Ghosts after this for a little less cushion).
