Customer Reviews Brooks Glycerin 19

Both the Glycerin and the Ghost shoe have gotten narrower over the years. While the regular width used to fit me just fine, the last 3 versions of both of these shoes have been very narrow. So I tried the wide width in both the Glycerin and the Ghost. Even the wide width in these shoes, especially in the Glycerin, are still too narrow for my average-sized foot. Please bring back the wider forefront and toe box. Instead of the shoe being straight, it needs to curve outward to mimic the curvature of one's foot.

So disappointed. I?ve worn Glycerins in the past for distance running and the 19 is disappointing. These are much more narrow in the toe box and for the first time ever wearing Glycerins, I got a blister on my toe. It will be awhile before I wear Glycerins again.

I had been in a different brand shoe for like 15 years and they discontinued my shoe! I played around in that brand with a few other editions and was not happy. I run full and half marathons. Then I read some reviews and decided to take the plunge and change brands a month and a half out from my next marathon. SO THANKFUL I SWITCHED. These are an amazing shoe. I highly recommend. I only wish I had switched sooner!!

These shoes are IT! I used the 90 day guarantee to make sure I got the perfect pair that didn?t hurt my feet and the glycerin 19 are the best shoes I?ve ever owned! I?m on my feet as a healthcare worker for 12 hours a day and I can finally go home without my feet hurting. I do advise sizing up at least a half size. I usually wear a 7.5 but I had to return and get an 8 and they?re perfect!

As someone prone to shin splints, I have a tough time finding a good running shoe. I have been running in glycerin's for a while now. Prior to finding the glycerin 16, I hadn't been able to find a shoe that was supportive enough while also being lightweight. With the glycerin 16/17 I was able to train for and run in my first 1/2 marathons. Unfortunately, I've been disappointed in the subsequent glycerin designs. I find them to feel "clunky" and heavier (although I'm sure they are not actually different in weight) and they are not as supportive. I was excited to try the glycerin 19, but I find it too feels heavy without providing the same support. I hope future glycerin's get back some of the old feel.
