Basically running in the clouds now. So soft and comfortable but versatile; I've done workouts in them and I've taken them on recovery runs. They are luscious!

I?ve been running in Brooks shoes for over 10 years. The Ghost 13 Run Visible shoe has been hard to top. I got the Glycerin 19 when the Ghost 14 became horribly uncomfortable after only 100 miles on them. I?ve only put 15 miles on these, the shoe feels overly snug, even with the laces loosened. I hope they stretch out a bit with a few more miles, but can?t say I love this shoe.

This is my 2nd pair of Brooks Glycerine shoes and I have always worn a size nine but this pair seems very narrow and just doesn?t fit as well as my last pair which were the 18. Disappointing.

I have worn Brooks glycerin sneakers for many years. This new 19 is has been changed so drastically I can not get my foot into it. Please go back to previous sizing allowing me to Wear them!

I love this shoe. I’ve been wearing Brooks for many years. They work for my 9.5 Wide foot. The Launch 8 was by far my favorite and I haven’t been able to find any shoe that fit as well as this one. They are super cushy and have the perfect amount of toe room and the heel is narrow and keeps my feet in place. I highly recommend these shoes!

This is my 5th pair of Glycerins and I?ll never wear anything else! I have a pair for work (I?m a nurse and on my feet 12hrs a day) and a pair for working out! I recently tried Hokas and HATED them! I sent them back and vowed to never cheat on Brooks again! Go up at least a half size!

I had the Glycerin 18?s in a 7.5 size and they fit so well. I got the same size in the Glycerin 19?s and it has been a tight squeeze. Anytime I walk, it feels as if my toe is jamming into the front of the shoe. I recommend going up a half size for comfort. (Low key annoying that the sizing has changed)

These shoes are not the same as previous versions. My heels were sore the first time I wore them. They are not as cushioned as they used to be and the toe box is definitely narrower. I will be return them and hope to find a suitable replacement. I am really sad because these were the best shoes ever.

I had to go a full size up from my previous Brooks size, so a size and a half from other brands.

I have always worn brooks glycerin brand. And I’ve always been in love with them! I do have to say that I like the 18s better than the 19s due to the toebox size. The 19s seem to run a little bit smaller but not by much. It also doesn’t take long to break them in. It’s like walking on sunshine. I usually get 400-500 miles out of each pair. They are definitely a comfortable, neutral road shoe.

This is now my “go to” shoe for Pickleball, walking, biking, etc! Roomy toe box, good support, cool, flexible uppers. Bought 4 pairs so when the style changes, I will have some knowing they fit. I appreciate Zappos return policy. It has been a challenge to find the right shoe!

After scouring the internet for a pair of Glycerin 18's, I decided to go with the 19s because I couldn't find any 18's left in my size. I ordered them in the the "Black/Volt" size 7. I usually wear 6.5 in every day shoes but always size up to 7 in my Brooks. The one positive I can say is I LOVED the colors. However, I have never felt such pain in my feet in my life while running in these. When I initially put them on, they felt weird in the toe box but I could still move my toes so I thought I'd give them a chance. All I've worn is Glycerins for the last 10 years except for the original Levitate 1's. I wore them briefly around the house before my run to make sure I was satisfied with the tightness of the laces. I usually run about 5 miles 3 times a week. I headed out to start my run but within the first mile, I noticed my toes were going numb from the ball of my foot to my toes, I felt like I had terrible nerve damage. I stopped and readjusted the laces hoping that would help. I barely made it through mile 2 when the pain was so intense, I nearly cried. I had to overcome my stubbornness and perseverance and thought "I better stop before I do permanent damage" that is how much these hurt! I stopped and limped back to my house. Honestly, they even hurt to walk in. I would have considered going barefoot if there had not been snow on the roadsides. Brooks, why did you change such a good shoe?? I am not sure what there are for alternatives but I am happy to hear what you have because I am a loyal Brooks fan but these shoes deserved an F.

I've been wearing various iterations of the Brooks GTS for many years and really liked how the shoe fit - big enough toe box but snug enough around my mid-foot and heel (I have narrow feet and my heel tends to slip out on other brand shoes). I've never had to guess my shoe size for each replacement, Brooks has been consistent in their sizing. I happened to come across the Shoe Finder on the Brooks Running website and learned that I really didn't need a stability shoe after all! So much for relying on the sales person at the running store. So I tried 2 neutral cushioning shoes, the Glycerin 19 and the Ghost 14. Both shoes were very comfortable, had that same large toe box so my toes had plenty of wiggle room, and snug fit around my heel. What sold me on the Glycerin really got down to style - I loved the "Black/Night Life/Spa Blue" colors! The Brooks logo is understated and the bright neon yellow pops. So fun! And a very comfortable shoe for my workouts that provide just the right amount of support for me.

I?ve been buying Brooks for years and the brand is my go to; however, this last pair makes me question that. They are ill-fitting, run very small and was a total waste of money. Very disappointed.

Love these. About 10 years ago I switched to Hokas for the cushion and have been happy with thm except they take up so much room when traveling. I randomly decided to try these to see if they would work while traveling while taking up less room. I LOVE them! Yes they take less room but they are also SO comfy and cushiony and LIGHT! I forgot what it was like to wear running shoes which don't weigh a ton. I don't know if a time will come when I go back to Hokas but for now I've ditched them and run in these Glycerin 19 exclusively. About to order a second pair so I can rotate them.

I have been a brooks fan for years and have never had a pair that I absolutely HATE until these. My feet hurt so bad in them and they constantly rub on the back of my heels and actually caused calluses on not my heels. I also think they run a half size small which I?m sure doesn?t help the discomfort but I?ve never had to size up in brooks. After wearing them at work for 3 weeks I threw them away and am trying a new brand since ghost 13 is being discontinued.
