Toebox too tight compared with previous models. A wide width was not available in the Glycerin 19 model and color so I bought the Ghost 14 wide width instead. Toebox is fine.

These shoes fit great and are very supportive, but wore out extremely fast. Around 120 miles and the cushioning is gone.

They have gotten less cushioned and less comfortable over the years. Have been buying glycerins since 2014. Glycerin 16 was the best version for my feet.

Don?t like the heels, they are to squishy not firm. Won?t order online agin, I would rather try them in a store.

This sneaker actually hurts my feet. I have purchased approx. seven pair of Brooks sneakers: all 8.5 size. This sneaker runs very small. I use all the sneakers I have purchased to play pickleball. Never used them for any type of running. Maybe you could suggest a different style.

This is my 4th pair of glycerin 19?s and probably 12-15th pair of glycerin?s in general. For some reason, these shoes don?t fit the same. They are the same size as every other pair I?ve had. My feet ache and fall asleep on my walks/ jogs. Frustrating!!!!

I'm a regular Ghosts user and I love them. But I seen the Glycerin have a bit more cushion so I thought I would try them. The place I get my shoes from suggested to go a half size bigger on the Glycerin. I did that and they fit fine and feel fine. My only problem with these shoes is that they cause me some pain in the front pad of my right foot just behind my toes. The pain has subsided a bit after about thirty miles of break in. Hopefully it will continue to get better. But just because of that I'll be going back to Ghosts for my next pair.

The width of the ball of my right foot is larger than my left. Even with a shoe stretcher, it still was too tight even with a 2E.

I have run in the Glycerin for quite a few years and I have been very happy with them. Starting with the 19?s, they are too narrow in the toe box, to the point of experiencing numbness in my toes on runs.

The Glycerin 19 rubbed the top of my toes on both feet. I was unable to wear them and had to return them.

This is my second pair of the same shoe. It didn?t fit the same as the pair I?m still wearing. Waiting for the Glycerin 20. Going to give it a chance.

I've been wearing Glycerins for years, always a 10.5D. I bought these and I could not even get them on my feet they were so incredibly narrow. I finally managed and they were extremely tight in the width, but not only that, my toes were jammed against the front of the toe box. I thought for sure I must have received the wrong size, but they are marked as 10.5D. Sadly they get returned and now I have to figure out a replacement for my beloved Glycerins! :(

I loved my Glycerin 18s, but with the 19s Brooks narrowed the toe box for no apparent reason. The sole seems very similar in shape/size, but now in the same size shoe my toes are squished, which makes them useless for more than a ~4 mile run. I hope they open things back up for the 20, otherwise these shoes are unusable for me.

I usually run in Ghosts - I tried Glycerins once before and the 9 then felt like a 10.5, I ordered an 8.5 this time, and it feels like a 7. Going back to Ghosts - it's not worth the confusion.

I've been a Brooks customer for almost 2 decades. Every new pair brings back that cushion that makes it feel like you are running on air. But not these Glycerins. For some reason they feel very flat - even right out of the box. I'm not sure why, but of the 60+ pairs of Brooks I have had over my lifetime, these are the worst. Maybe I just got a dud.

It's a good looking shoe but it's too tight, doesn't give room in the toe box even at 13 extra wide. I need to return them.

I haven't worn them on a consistent basis but when I do, I'm really not thrilled with them. I wear them for 4 to 6 miles and by the end, my left toes are hurting. Seems like there isn't enough cushioning under them. I'm training for the Camino de Santiago in Spain in October 2022 in the meantime I have been trying out and wearing different shoes for a week at a time to see which ones I will be taking with me. Definitely not the Glycerin.

Repeat customer of the Glycerin for several years. I'm normally a 10.5 2E, and even an 11 in these felt too small. The toe height has been reduced significantly and the toe spring looks increased, which amounts to... not much room for the toes. Combined with the toe bumper, it just feels awful rubbing against the big toe. The footbed feels too contoured, even for my high arches. It does feel like there's golf balls in the shoes, like I read another reviewer say. Overall, what strange design decisions! I'm not sure its doing Brooks any favors as a brand. Such significant, nonsensical changes to a flagship shoe like this, you'll frustrate returning customers who will just move on. Aesthetically, the 19s are more attractive than previous years, so I was bummed that this didn't amount to a shoe that both looked and felt nice on the feet. I'll try the 20s when they come out, and if the fit isn't fixed then I'm afraid I'm out.

I really like the look of the blue and grey version and they do offer great support but these rub the back of heel so bad it caused wounds on both my heels. I went out on a limb to try these but I'll be sticking with the Ghost and Trace.

Felt great for the first few miles, but even the wide (2E) version still had a toebox that was too narrow and my feet started to hurt at mile 4. Disappointed, because I've had success with prior versions, but everyone keeps making the toebox too narrow.
