Customer Reviews Brooks Glycerin 19

I normally wear a size 8.5, and had to size up to a 9 in this latest version of the Glycerin. They run short. Once I did that, they fit great!

This is my second pair of Glycerins. They are either a full size or half size larger than other brands I wear. The stabilizers make them fit tight. But I like them because of the thick soles. I had surgery to remove bone spurs, and they help with the pain.

I am a lifetime runner, have very high arches and a slight underpronation. These shoes are perfection.

Definitely comfy, but the sole isn’t quite as soft as I was hoping. I don’t think they’d work for long runs but short runs and walks are perfect.

This is my second pair purchased for preparing for a marathon. Excellent support.

They make these smaller with each iteration. Can't figure why....really beautiful, but went with another shoe since this sizing is so inconsistent from year to year.

So happy to have the Brooks Glycerin in a narrow width. The width is perfect. The shoe is running a little short in length but wearing around inside to make sure it will work in the toe area.

the shoes were not even - and I had read another review to this effect and thought it was just a one off. But you could smell the disinfectant in the shoes - they had been returned - probably for same complaint

They’ve destroyed the shoes! They did not make them softer they made them harder on the foot. This would of been my 12 th pair and well they are going back. So much harder on the foot bed and blisters everywhere! They made my feet go numb never had that problem. Will never buy these again!

I usually buy Brooks Ghost and all of my shoes are size 9. I learned that Glycerin had even more cushion than the Ghost so I was excited to buy them. Sadly they run 1/2 size small. I’m not not for returning shoes so I just wear a thin sock with them. They are SO CUSHY SOFT. My new go too shoe. Sorry Ghost.

This is my second pair of Glycerins. I have a pinched nerve in one of my feet so this extremely cushioned shoe is so comfortable!

My daughter loves these. I have ordered these for her over the past 3 years.

I really want to like these shoes because they are nice looking and well cushioned, the latter of which was the key reason I wanted to try them. But the design of the heel has given me Achilles blisters both times I walked in them. Something is off with its height and it rubs in just the wrong places. A cutout on the heel could easily have been done on what is supposed to be a comfort shoe.

Fit and comfort are GREAT even for my problematic feet

This is a really cute shoe. It has lots of cushioning. The material is soft with a nice padded tongue. I have the Brooks Ghost 13 which has cushioning but this pair has a little more which is what I was looking for.

I love these shoes! The only thing is that it’s smaller than normal. My size is 7.5, I ordered 8 and that size was the best fit for me.

Worst ever these use to be my go to shoes but not anymore! They are trash they changed the padding and the fit. Now they are as hard as rocks and lost the arch support. For someone with a hard fit so disappointing with this shoes if it not broke don’t fix it. Going back. ASAP They use to be like walking on clouds now it’s like walking on rocks. Bring back the old insides brooks.

So, I was really excited about these new Glycerin's. I haven't worn Glycerins since oh- I think up to the 13, when they drastically changed them. Sad. Anyway- these felt very promising- loved the cushioning, arch and support all over. Had to get past the chunkiness but that's how many sneakers are now. I do prefer more streamlined without all of the bulk around the outer sole but whatever. These were nice looking in the black and pink- I don't normally wear pink, but these were ok. Fit was the problem- repeatedly.- I normally wear an 8.5 but need a womens' 9 with my orthotics in all sneakers. The 9 was too tight on my small toe and felt snug. I ordered the 9W- they were huge- my foot kept coming up in them- the length was actually longer and they didn't seem that much wider- my small toe, still wasn't 100% happy, but my foot was sliding back and forth too. So I decided to try the 8.5W- hoping that was the solution. Tight with orthotic, my foot immediately cramped up. My toes near the end. Without the orthotic they were much better but still not a perfect fit- so I'd say they run small, toe box is snug. All returned. Appreciate Zappos. I am still without new sneakers and the search continues :(.

Lots of cushioning, use for weight training

Something is wrong with the right shoe. I got these originally in the spring and they were fine. I've tried two more pairs and both pairs, one being the original color and one being a different color, have something not right with the right shoe that causes me to walk differently and thus hurts/causes injury. I wish they would take a look at this and correct them as they were originally a great shoe.

Just too bulky for me. Comfy fit.

I wore a 7.5 in the prior version of this, and the Zappo's description said to go a half size up and they were right. The 8 I got fits as closely as my other pair. These do not feel quite as supportive as the discontinued model, but I will wear them.
