I need a 10.5 in these which is a full size larger than I normally take. But these are the best and most comfortable footwear I own. I wanted gray which wasn’t available in my size so I chose these pretty lavender.

I put these on and my feet were in HEAVEN! So supportive in all the ways my feet need :-)
Only problem is a v. snug fit, so I’m exchanging for 1/2 size up (I normally wear a 9.5 and am exchanging for a 10).

I’ve taken a few short runs in these, and so far, they’re keepers. A bit more cushioned than the Glycerin 17s. Same fit—length and width—as the 17s. I wear a 9.5 in most casual shoes and a 10 in most running shoes but wear a 10.5 in Glycerins. I will probably buy a second pair soon so I can alternate.

This color is fabulous. They are comfortable, stylish and worth the money. Fits true to size. I ordered an eight, and that is my size I always wear in tennis shoes. I own 5 pair of Glycerins and LOVE all of them, and so does my feet.

These are my go-to athletic shoe. The fit is great and the arch support is perfect. The fit felt a little snugger than the past models but not tight.

Not as comfortable as the Ghost. The heel is a little stiff which rubs the Achilles’ tendon. The arch support is poor.

Runs smaller and more narrow than Brooks Ghosts. Although I did think the cushioning was better than Ghost.

These shoes are the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever had!! They are EXTREMELY comfortable!! I’ve always worn Brooks Ghost, but now that I’ve worn Brooks Glycerin these are the only Brooks I now want to wear!!

I have to say I am a little disappointed in these shoes. I have bought this brand and style many times. These are just not as comfortable as they usually are… I always get an 8.5 wide and they still feel snug. And the tongue seems to be shorter.

Need to go up 1/2 size. Great shoe with good support plus moderate cushion. Brooks are high quality.

At first I thought the shoes were a little shorter even though that was the size I always wore. Decided to keep them anyway . After wearing them once they were perfect. I believe the cushioning packed down some.

Comfy footbed but heel comes up too high and rubs painfully. Have to return.

It’s been a few years since I wore Glycerin. I wear a size 10 in sandals but in sneakers I need a size up to give room. Also gave me foot space in the toe box. If you’re on the fence between Glycerin or ghost…..if you have a wider foot choose the ghost. It has a naturally wide toe box without it being a wide foot. Both are great shoes for cushion

I have been a glycerin fanatic since the 11. They majorly changed this design and I could not be more upset. Not only is the horizontal length way shorter but the vertical depth, from top of foot to bottom, is way narrower! The nice wide toe box that made these shoes is gone and the new design does not work at all. I have a painful arthritis nodule on the top of my foot that won?t even allow me to walk comfortably in this shoe now. I run 35-50 miles per week so this had to find an alternate. I tried to size up a whole size but that didn?t work. I went with the ghost but am still not satisfied as the toe box is way too roomy and the cushion I need is just not there. I?m nervous with the 20 design because the employee at the running store told me there is going to be a whole new style for that design too. So bummed.

The size felt slightly small. I would constantly get blisters on my heels and would have to be out of them for a week to heal. I thought it was just having to break them in. But then the shoes gave me first met head pain as well.

I had to return for a half size up as I like a little extra room in toe box. The way my toes naturally curve upwards I will put holes in my tennis shoes easily. These are pretty durable and double lined so hoping for no holes anyway! For comparison, in the brooks Hyperion I wear an 8 but I needed an 8.5 in the Glycerin 19… which I’ve never worn in my life. typically I’m a 7.5-8 in non-running shoes and a solid 8 in running shoes so it’s weird there is an obvious size difference between styles within their own brand. These also feel a bit narrow. Anyways, they are very comfortable, good cushion, and nice padding inside around ankle area. They feel a little heavy compared to my Hoka’s, Saucony, and obviously much heavier than Brooks Hyperion so I don’t think I’d recommend them for training or marathon shoes. Great walking shoes and for shorter runs. When I first got the size 8, I got the lavender but when I exchanged them I got the black with neon yellow laces. I think the black look much cooler and more modern. Overall I’m very happy but I will likely try a different style in the line once these wear down.
I'd also recommend:
Hoka, Saucony

The most comfortable shoe I have owned. I have already put about 12 walking miles on them, and they are so comfortable. Buying another pair for my wife to wear.

I've been running in Ghost for a few years now but started to get hip tendonitis (not the shoes' fault - I'm injury prone) and wanted to try out the Glycerin. First thing: I ordered my usual size 9.5 (in normal shoes I'm 8.5/9) and they were WAY too small. Ended up trying again with a 10.5. First run outside at ~2.5 miles was good, but when I took them to the treadmill for a 3 mile run after 2 miles the bottom of my feet started burning. Normally I'd order a bigger size, but going to size 11 feels ridiculous to me. Never had this issue with Ghost. NOTE: I wear custom orthotic insoles and remove the Brooks insoles, so this may be an issue unique to me.

Huge issues! The left shoe feels smaller than the right shoe? Toe box on both is squished. Defective! Not comfortable at all. Not like any brooks I have ever tried on. I bought these to match a few outfits I have including a Brooks matching running set: the carbonite tights, vest, shorts, tank same color set. But-these are not comfortable to wear at all even in the house. I have worr Brooks for many marathons and Ironmans. These are awful but cute colors! Sadness!!
