I tried 4 pairs of this shoe. It was so easy to make my returns with Zappos. I finally found the one that fits perfect. I did order a half size larger.

Love these shoes! They wear out kind of quickly, but so cute and comfy while they last. BRING BACK THE ALL WHITE!!

The size and fit were great. I always buy half a size bigger in athletic shoes. These shoes feel like walking on air. This is my third pair. I get them because I am prone to getting plantar fasciitis. These shoes help me avoid foot injuries because they have so much cushion and support. I won't buy a different athletic shoe.

This is a great shoe! Stylish, nice cushioning and fairly lightweight. I went 1/2 size up and wished I’d gone a full size up. Truly a great shoe!

Brooks Glycerine Shoes felt great out of the box. I wear between 7.5-8. My foot Dr. recommended i order an 8W. although i gave 5 stars across the board....there is a slight flaw on the left shoe...(R-in pic). I may touch it up with a blk marker! The left shoe in the ankle slips just a tad sometimes. My next pair, i would like to try the HOKA's! my planter fasciitis pain has subsided greatly. But my next pair i would like a little more support.

Fit and size was good. I am usually a 10 wide but I took a 10 1/2 wide in this shoe and it fits like a glove.

Very disappointed. The whole shoe has changed! Terrible ball of foot pain. I have worn out an old pair of Glycerin and LOVED them. I will be looking for a different brand now. I am a health care worker and need a good pair of shoes in the hospital.

I did not like these as they kept putting pressure on the back of my heel. They were half a size larger than I normally buy. Would not purchase again.

I really like the look of these shoes but unfortunately every time I run in them, my Achilles? tendons are extremely sore afterwards.

Got these in regular width but had to return for wide. I normally don’t have to wear wide but they fit perfectly.

I love my old Glycerins but these are so uncomfortable. Tight toe. Weird fit. ???

After running through 2 pairs of 18?s, the best shoe ever! and the only shoe that didn?t cause my toes to go numb and gave me no feet or knee trouble, I thought I?d try the 19?s. What a waste of money! The toe box has changed and back to numbness. Why change such a good thing Brooks? Now I can?t find another 18 in my size. Back to square one. So disappointing.

I've been religiously getting the Glycerin for years now and have always been a size 7. Never had to break them in, never got any blisters (even after running a marathon), they always fit perfectly. I put the Glycerin 19 on for the first time and I couldn't wait to get them off. The toe box felt so much narrower than versions in the past. It was so tight and uncomfortable. Very disappointed, it was my favorite running shoe. I would size up to 7.5, but I'd be afraid that the shoe would be too long and rub my heel.

I have loved every edition of the Glycerin's until now. I don't understand why they changed them. Change colors, change laces, but don't change what we love. The heel is too high, they are not as cushioned/comfortable as previous models, and I spend my entire workout adjusting them. I thought maybe I just needed to break them in. But no. And now it's past the 90 days. :( Please Brooks, bring the old Glycerin back!

Loved the colors, but not a fan of how wide the soles were. They just looked weird on my feet.

This was my first time trying Brooks Glycerin, and sadly I was left underwhelmed. For years I had heard of the phenomenal cushioning of this style. I am only 37 but already need a hip surgery so suffice it to say, I need a bit more cushioning than someone else my age! These were supportive but felt very hard. I was hoping for just a bit more cushioning.

I've been running in Brooks Glycerin for two years. Great supportive, very cushiony distance running shoe. The Glycerin 19 has more cushion than the Glycerin 18. I had to size up a half size for the newer model, thank goodness for free returns! Shoe feels great though.

I have loved Glycerins for years. They took me from barely running 3 miles to a BQ. These are completely different. The toe box is way too small and the overall feel is completely different. Sadly, I am in the hunt for a new running go-to.

When a shoe doesn't fit, it is difficult to rates its overall likeability and comfort. I normally wear an 8.5 Narrow in Brooks Ghost - even with orthotics. However, this size is too tight in the Glycerin 19. I plan to return the 8.5N and try a different size.

I am a size 7 in shoes. I always take an 8 in sneakers. While the sneakers are plush and comfy, the toe box is tight so for long runs that would
be an issue. I might have to try an 8.5 in these.

I have had 3-4 pair of Brooks Glycerin previously and like my shoe pretty tight fitting. I ordered these in my standard 8 and found them to be a much snugger fit than my precious pairs. I ordered the 8.5 and found them to still be snug but far more comfortable. If you prefer a looser fitting run shoe, I suggest ordering .5-1 full size larger than your normal. The 19 version has much more cushion and spring than the 18 version which is nice, but feels like a different run than my precious pair. Broke them in tonight and was happy with the feel.

Side soles split within the first month. I have been loyal to Brooks Glycerin for years and the 19 disappoints. Both shoes have split on the sides.

I have always bought Brooks Ghost and Brooks Glycerin. Have always been happy with these sneakers. However...this particular pair I had to send back. I felt it lacked the cushioning and comfort from my past models. Very disappointed. Expensive sneakers and they just did not make the mark this time.
