the best running shoe I’ve ever worn. There’s so much support and cushion yet the shoe is so light. the toe box is perfect and there’s plenty of room without feeling like you’re swimming in the shoe. I bought the black/white and they go with everything. I do have to suggest to size up - I am an 8.5 women’s and needed to size up to a 9.

I bought these to replace the now discontinued Transcend model. I found the Glycerin to be slightly narrower in the toe box, and I had to change to a wide. Once I did this, they were/are perfect. Lots of cushion and support.

The fit was true ( I always wear a size 9 and do here).
The cushioning is extra nice adding to the comfort. The support is still Brooks solid so I enjoyed my run. I chose the gray/ silver with hot pink laces and like the look.

I love the glycerin because it fits my very narrow foot. Style? Not so much. It's rather dull. The glycerin 17 had more flair. Wish there was another color choice.

This is my third pair of Brooks running shoes. I went to the store that carried them and was measured for my correct size and fit. I then ordered my first 2 pair. They are the best shoes to work in, walk in, run in and exercise in! I am a nanny so I am constantly on my feet and I never stop moving. I do an exercise class a few times a week also. I now have 4 pairs of Brooks, which is good because I can alternate shoes since I usually wear tennis shoes every day. Since I wear a size 11 my choices are limited in shoes and colors but I am happy with the choices I do have. I would recommend these, my feet don’t hurt, they are like walking on clouds!

They feel good, but are too short and too narrow. The sole feels too thin on rough ground.

I have a been walking in a Transcend 3 which need to be replaced.I tried two Brooks shoes in 11 1/2 M same size as my old shoes. Both the Glycerin 19 and Adrenaline GTS 21 were tight. The length was the same but they were tight across my toes and ball of my foot.

Glycerin 19 is outstanding as a cushioned neutral shoe. For some reason this beautiful black w/metallic rose gold runs smaller and narrowing than the same size shoe in lavender. I reordered in the same length 7.5 and in wide and am currently road testing this to compare. Maybe the black is a different fabric, but it definitely runs smaller.

Definitely runs a size small. I didn’t believe it and my size 9 were too small. After pounding my toes with the 9’s, I returned them and got a 9.5.

I have a wide foot and have worn Brooks for awhile, unfortunately they seem to be making them differently, I ordered them on wide but still they are quite narrow. They are really cute but just too tight.

This shoe runs small and toe box is not as wide as it should be for me. I have had surgeries on my feet and peripheral neuropathy. I wear a 10 1/2 in athletic shoe but had to have 11 1/2 in this shoe and the toe box is not large enough. hope I can wear it as it is hurting toes on my left foot right now. I prefer New Balance 940v4, also in black. The Brooks in black has been said to be not wide enough but other colors are wider. Would like a New Balance with style and Velcro closures.
I'd also recommend:
New Balance, some SAS.

These are super cute and very "cushy" Unfortunately, they have no arch support, odd for Brooks and the Gycerin which I've worn before and loved. Brooks were always my go to. Maybe not now. I thought about getting inserts but for $150 they should have arch support without my additional expense.
I am returning these after wearing twice.

Nike, Sorel

I buy Brooks Adrenaline all the time in size 9.5. The Brooks Glycerine 19 are cute smaller than the Adrenaline and I really didn't like the overall fit. I returned and bought a new pair of Adrenaline's instead.

I have worn Brooks Glycerin, size 7.5 medium width, for the past 8 (?) years and thought I would never have to look for another running shoe. I was wrong :( This year I had to order the 7.5 Wide and my foot rolls over the bed of the shoe where the internal toe guard sits near the big toe. This causes a terrible hot spot. I even ordered another pair, thinking this shoe must be defective, but it wasn't.....they both do the same thing. I was then told that this shoe is the newest design. FAIL :( Sadly searching for a new shoe to replace these.

Shoe felt good right out of the box. But....they need to give you longer shoe laces. When I run I like to tie my car key to my sneaker and double knot the lace, but it's barely enough to tie the shoe normally let alone double knot it. Ugh.

I have narrow feet with little padding on my sole. Putting on these shoes with their glycerin insole was the selling point. Heaven. One thing I don't like is the extended, wider, outer sole. Worries me that I might trip on it. Probably adds stability, but I've never worn a shoe like this and doesn't seem to show in the pictures.

So far so good, I took a break from Brooks for some years, but came back after New Balance disappointed me too many times.

Plantar fasciitis plus bunions make my older feet hard to fit. These shoes accommodate my orthotics and offer a well-cushioned wearing experience.

I own several pairs of Glycerins, and these are one of my favorite pair. The black and white goes with anything casual and looks great. The shoes are very comfortable, stylish and my feet love them. I wear 8 medium, and they fit true to size. 5 Stars!!

I run 2-4 times per week, with a half marathon thrown in every 3 months, and these are the only shoes I’ve tried that don’t leave me with shin splints. Great support, soft but not “squishy”, fun color options, and they’re durable. I get a new pair every 6 months or so just to keep them fresh (in all honesty, I just like mixing up my running gear - these could last much longer than I give them). I usually wear a 7.5 but I order an 8 so they don’t get tight on a long run. Perfect.

I've been wearing Brooks for 15 years. I'm usually an 8.5 but wear a 10 in Brooks. So, if you're new to Brooks running shoes, I'd go up a size. I also wear them with Superfeet inserts. These are well-crafted shoes that offer excellent support. I'm a runner and I'll never wear anything else.

So happy to have the Brooks Glycerin in a narrow width. The width is perfect. The shoe is running a little short in length but wearing around inside to make sure it will work in the toe area.

I love these shoes! The only thing is that it’s smaller than normal. My size is 7.5, I ordered 8 and that size was the best fit for me.

I have had some foot issues for a bit, and LOVE to run or walk distances. These shoes are amazing! I do supinate a bit if my alignment is off and I find these shoes help bring back my awareness as well. LOVE these!
