Customer Reviews Brooks Glycerin 19

I have a wide foot and should have bought the wide shoe option. They are too snug. Also gave me blisters on Achilles area of both feet

I made the leap and purchased this very expensive pair of shoes, and I was disappointed. Perhaps my expectations were too high. The shoe lacks support, is too soft, and runs very small. The base was almost gummy, and created a fair amount of instability when running anything over 6 miles. Brooks was great to work with in regards to their return policy, and I was able to get a full refund upon return. The shoe may work for you, it just didn't do the job for me.

As a Brooks wearer for 30 years I can honestly say that I love this brand. Ran in Adrenalines for years, switched to Glycerins for cushioning - tore Achilles 5 years ago, back in Glycerins and no issues. That is, until now. The 19s tear my right heel to pieces at anything over 5 miles. Not sure if it's a manufacturing issue with the heel collar as it only happens in the right hand shoe. Horrible blisters. Contacted service and, although a super nice guy, the advice I received was to buy a new pair of Ghosts. Being loyal, I'll probably wait to version 20 and try again, but I'm really disappointed. The rest of the shoe is as good as ever, midsole, outsole, upper, all class. Heel counter sucks on that RHS.

I have had several pairs of glycerin the 15 and 18 's were my favorites. These are sized small and when I went half size up way too big. Both sizes I have my feet slide in. Not near as comfortable as the 18's I have had 4 pair. Had to find the 18's to wear to work these were too uncomfortable for 9 hours on my feet

I tried these, coming from Ghost 13. These made my heels hurt, and feel a half size too small, despite still being same size as all other shoes I've worn; so my entire foot feels cramped in these shoes. Going back to Ghost 13 and skipping Ghost 14 since reviews on the 14s don't look so favorable. Thank You Brooks for your easy return policy!

I was really hoping they would work out. Ghost is my go to sneaker but last two were disappointing. Surprised the Glycerin ran small, even tried wide. Next size up was out of stock

Feels frustrating to say this since my first ever marathon was run in Brooks Glycerin 15s and it was a dream but I have to: the new version is different. I brought my old pair into a running store and compared to a new pair and immediately realized that the sizing was off. That should have been a red flag but I figured it was the only difference so I got a size up and thought I?d be set to go. Started training for my next full and noticed that my heels kept getting cut up and i thought it might be due to my socks randomly slipping down the heel but looking at it closer, the heel of this shoe is definitely higher than my old pair. I?m fixing that by ordering quarter length socks and hoping for the best but this is definitely my last pair of Glycerins.

I bought these due to hearing they are great for Supintation. I've had these shoes for a little over 5 months, and they were great at first, but the DNA Loft cushioning is breaking down and ripping apart and the whole shoe feels completely different. It feels broken down and I feel no cushion at all now. I'm a heavier guy at 270lbs, but don't do any running in these. I work in IT for a boat manufacturing plant and I constantly walk through the factory in clean conditions, but these just aren't cutting it anymore. The heel also picks up cotton from socks and sticks to the heel and irritates my heel, often causing blisters if I walk more than a mile in a day.

I've been buying Glycerins for almost 8 years now. They are my go-to shoes for running, exercise and just about everything in between. It gives me the comfort I need to workout in peace. However, I ordered my new pair, the 19s and they have hurt my feet since i've gotten them. They are uncharacteristically tight on the midsole of the shoe which really hurts my feet (I ordered the 2E Wide too!) which has been an unpleasant surprise. I am returning these now and looking at maybe trying the Ghosts again. Really sad because I usually LOVE these shoes. Books, Please fix this, I love your shoes - Thank you!

It started out so well. I was very happy with the soft comfort of the shoes. However as time wore on there is one flaw with my left shoe. The very back of the heel has a seam and that seem rubs the back of the heel to the point of bleeding. The right shoe does not have this issue. I have had to retire these shoes well before their time. It is sad because these had a lot of potential.

The shoe is quite comfortable but the material isn't very durable. The toe of my shoe is wearing thin - I'm on my 9th week of wear averaging ~15 miles a week with a combination of road and treadmill running. I've bought several pairs of Brooks (2 pairs of Ghost 13's were my most recent) but really disappointed with these.

I have been using the Glycerin for at least 5 years now and found the shoe to be comfortable and good for a heavier runner. I purchased the Glycerin 19 because it was my go-to shoe that always fit. Unfortunately, on the new 19, they did something to the heel section that caused me to develop blisters within 2 miles of my first run with the shoes. Long story short check the fit before buying and I hope they work for you.

I thought they would be really comfortable but they really weren't for the price, I gave them to a friend.

Length at size 15 was ok but just way to wide. New to off size 15 for a narrow foot.

I'm not a runner. I purchased for casual wear. I'm not happy with the build quality or color.

Was really excited to have this, lobe my brooks, but after a 4 miles my feet start with a big pain. I repeat same run but with my old ghost and did not happened, so I returned.

Sizing is off, fit is wrong. I ordered my normal brooks size and it was way too small. I went through the return process and got the next size up and they were way too big. I was told that this model/generation was made very different than previous. Least favorite brooks shoe

Didn't fit me. Too narrow in the toe box so I returned them.

To replace glycerin 18 which i still love, i bought these 19s. Bought in a half size larger fo a little extra room. Not sure what tgey did but this half suze larger is smaller fit and very painful to wear. Last brooks after so much joy from initial pair. Disappointed.

Too small and now I have to return. Normally a 12.5 as I have been for other pairs I?ve purchased here. Unsure why these run small

I?ve been running in Brooks Glycerin shoes for years. Unfortunately, they modified the 19 so much that they no longer work. They are much narrower in the toe box, and my toe actually stuck out over edge of the footbed.

Have been running in the Glycerin shoes for years. Training 60-70 miles a week in all terains and all weather. My go to shoe and my marathon and half marathon shoe. BUT the 19 changed all that. Shut down my running. Numbness and pain. Tried three different 19s as I could not believe the sudden change in these shoes . No change and I was afraid my running days were over . Very sad and mad as I love to run.
