Customer Reviews Brooks Glycerin 19

I buy these every year and they are like the best shoe ever!

As always, my Zappos shoes came right on time and were great. I know i can always return with no problems with Zappos.

I always buy a half size larger in a sneaker as I did with these. They felt a little snug in the toe at first, but anything larger would be too big. Other than that they are very comfortable and cushy. These are definitely more purple than the picture indicated.

I love the Glycerin 19! It took me a while to find shoes that work for me. I'm training for a half and had many issues with my knees, shins and ankles. Strength training and finding the right shoes were a game changer. So far, I purchased the rose gold/black, white/grey and I just got the black/white ones. And they are slightly different! The black/white is slightly less roomy than the rose gold/black and white/grey. It still fits, but since I have wider feet, I felt better in the previous two pairs.

When you read that they run small? Believe it. I normally wear about an 8.5-9 in Adidas and Nike. I started researching a highly rated walking/running shoe, and reallllly looked hard for about a month. I have plantar fasciitis, also high arches and as I have gotten older the pain has become worse. I finally settled on Brooks because of countless podiatrists reviews. Zappos deliverers super fast as always, but as soon as I put on the Brooks Glycerin 19 size 9 medium… they were small in the toe area. JUST like the reviews. Ugh. Alas.. no worries.. I got online and printed a return to drop off at a UPS store, ordered a size 9.5 medium. Boom.. it was already being prepared to ship. Two days later I received the larger pair, and I freakin love them. They are so comfortable, and my feet feel 100% better. Lots of padding, a wide sole for stability, and no foot pain. And they are super stylish! I am very happy, and the process was actually easy as pie. Thanks Zappos..and Brooks!

Really cute shoe but the toe box was too narrow.

These had nice padding in the soles but were super tight! I even bought a half size bigger based on the reviews but it still felt like my feet were being smothered in padding.

Great shoe.

I didn’t realize Brooks sizing was so inconsistent across their own models. I ordered an 8.5 because my worn out size 9 Revels have always been just a little too big, these Glycerins are SO SMALL. They fit more like an 8. I also don’t like how the toe seems to roll as I walk. I’m going to try sizing up to a 9, but I don’t know if that will make me like them more. Disappointed.

I have owned numerous pairs and as always they do not disappoint.

Very light and comfortable. Full cushion.

This is my 4th pair of this seasons shoe. Not as good as last years version but a decent shoe. I run/walk a lot and wear them daily to work so I usually need to replace every 3-4 months

I usually wear an 8 or and 8 1/2. I ordered a 9 and it fit perfectly! I also have narrow heels, but I ordered the regular width and my heels aren't slipping. Super comfortable shoes. Really happy with my purchase.

This is an updated review from my original posting. Glycerin was my go-to shoe for years, but Brooks has definitely changed in delivery of what was a quality product. I wear a medium in all shoes and even former athletic shoes. This shoe, although comfortable, now has me in a wide width. Additionally, the mid sole is very narrow and does not fit my orthotic well and over extends on the sides. There is little support and after 6 months of just walking, the shoe has broken down. Very disappointing overall.

These are so comfortable and great for running! With my other shoes I was getting blisters all the time. So far these have been amazing!

I have a high arch and need cushioning. I'm going back to Hoka's.

I usually wear an 8 but these seemed too small.

Do not fit like old glycerins. Read other reviews and trust them before you buy

The fit was WAY off!!! It shouldn't take three orders to get my correct size. Comfort is GOOD -- that is really important to me.

Most comfortable shoes ever!

I am very pleased with the Brooks 19 Glycerin wide shoes that I recently purchased. I wore Brooks Glycerin from Glycerin 5 to about 10 or 11 before changes made no longer accommodated my foot. The 19's are well cushioned. The footbed once again is expanded which gives me greater security with balance. I have always been able to wear the medium width but with the 19's I need the wide width. I have been prescribed a new pair of orthotics which fit well in this neutral shoe.

Ive worn Glycerins for years and these are the worst by far! Was too narrow in the toe box and too small overall. I am typically a 9 or even an 8 1/2 and my toes are jammed to the end. No bueno! Very disappointed.

Best shoes ever.
