The fit was true to size. The shoe has plenty of support and lots of cushion in the sole. A great running shoe for someone who appreciates a supportive ride. The material at the ankle is a little stiff at first and needs a break-in period.

I have a large bunion on one foot and medium widish feet. I usually wear a 8.5W or 9W. In these, I bought 8.5 Medium. They fit my orthotics perfectly! I got two colors. They are light, and good for walking and exercising. Kudos to Zappos, as I had to buy 5 different pair for my physical therapist to fit to my orthotics, and Zappos was great with the return and sending another pair of these in second color.

i ordered Brooks Ghost13, Adrenaline, and these. the Glycerin had the most cushion under the ball of the foot and heel. All good shoes, but liked these best. Glad they come in 11 narrow. I usually wear a 10 1/2 S, but the 11 is barely long enough. I always buy 11 in athletic shoes. I’m not a runner, just a walker with plantar fasciitis who needs good cushioning, and I add arch supports.

My last pair of Brooks were worn out and I needed a replacement pair and found these very comfortable. I would have preferred a blue pair, but these were the only ones in my size.

The fit on this shoe was really good but there was something about it that aggravated my Morton's neuroma. Sometimes I think maybe too much cushioning is not the best...

These version is much improved over the last several! It’s a bit wider in the forefoot which is awesome because I can wear them now. I had to size up 1/2 side they do run slightly short. They are cushier and bouncer than the ghost for longer runs. I would definitely purchase again.

These actually fit and feel more like the original Brooks I first purchased years back and why I went to Brooks in the first place. Then per usual the constant discontinued and changing styles. I loved the Launch 3’s and 4’s. The Glycerin 19 is a decent shoe for my fast paced walking inside and outside. Good support and comfort!!! I am a size 8 in most shoes, but in these a size 8.5 is best..

The 19s are my 3rd or 4th pair of Glycerines. I usually wear an 11 medium, but for these I order the wide. My favorite part of the shoe is the cushioned neck. I have really narrow ankles, and they hug me perfectly. My 3/4 orthotic fits great. They are cushy but supportive. I’m not a runner, but I live in these and have barely taken them off since they arrived.

The shoes fit true to size. Seem a bit less roomy then other versions on the glycerin. They seem to have more cushion and support then the previous model. Definitely improved the model.

Glycerin are by far the best shoe Brooks makes. So comfortable. Good support. This is the 1st decent color they have made in a while. Would definitely recommend. Worth the money.

I usually wear a 6 and 1/2 shoe but have needed a 7 and 1/2 in the last several pair of Brooks I have worn. I find the Glycerin to be perfect for me as I need cushioning in my heal due to plantar fasciitis.

I think for most people these shoes would be worth every penny. It is my first time trying and I have had multiple surgeries on my feet. So must haves for me aren’t going to be the same for most. I need a shoe without too much cushion. These felt good when I first put them on but as I walked in them ankles began to hurt. As I said I think for most they would love the comfort and support. Just not for me. Thank you Zappos for being the very best shopping experience!

The fit was true. I always wear a size 9 in Brooks sneakers and did here. The shoe is light yet supportive. With my high arch high volume foot I intended to do my usual thing of pulling out the insole and sliding in a Superfeet or Powerstep arch support... but everything feels great when I walk or run so no need to. As others stated, like walking on a cloud.

Maybe only a tad too small. The tried to make these fit, but they are just a little too short. The cushioning is great, and loved this color combination. Sadly I must return them. It is always reassuring that returns are made so easy with Zappos. I have hard to fit feet, and they are my #1 go to store.

I wear a narrow shoe, so have limited options. That said, I love the cushioning in this shoe, even though I add my PowerStep insole in addition to the one that comes in the shoes. I hope the soft outside fabric will hold up— that’s my greatest concern.

Ordered the Nightshadow/Black/Blue in 7.5. The main color is much more grey than navy and lighter than it looks online. Length-wise they're on the shorter side for Brooks but the width feels normal and the heel is middling, not wide or narrow. They feel comfortable to walk around in, nicely cushioned without being too squishy, but there's nothing supporting my arch. Anything more than walking around the house and I'd be in trouble so they're going back.

I'd tried these in my usual Brooks size of 8.5 which were too small. I bought these from Zappos in size 9 which are perfect. Many others mentioned the Glycerine 19 ran small & recommended a half to full size up. They are totally correct so I would also recommend sizing up at least 1/2 to what you'd normally buy in an athletic shoe. I've been a Brooks Glycerine wearer for 10+ years & this is the first time I've had to size up. I also have a higher arch which these shoes are fine for me. I've tried other brands but had symptoms of Plantar fasciitis....not so with Brooks so sizing up 1/2 is far less important then having pain!

ONLY Brooks in athletic shoes!

I loved the shoe until I put it on. As advised, I ordered a half size larger than my normal size. When I tried it on, my toe was at the end of the shoe! I tried to order it in a full size larger, but it is out of stock. Also, the shoe was just a touch too narrow for my foot. I’m just on the edge of needing a wide shoe. Tried to order in a wide and it was out also. They were wonderfully cushioned, springy and light and I loved the color combo. I’m sad to be returning them.
