Customer Reviews Brooks Glycerin 19

I think the Glycerin 19 will be a great running shoe for many people, but it just didn?t fit quite right for me. Overall, the fit was definitely better than the Glycerin 18 (no heel slippage this time!), but it was a bit tight on the top of my foot and felt slightly small and cramped compared to the Ghost 14, for example. That said, I think it?d be a comfortable shoe to run and walk in for many people, so it?s worth checking out! :-)

I am an elderly walker not runner who needs a lot of cushioning. Brooks Glycerin has been my walking shoe for over 10 years now. This is the first time I've had to 1/2 size up as the toe box isn't as high as it previously was. Since I've got an old fracture on my big toe the toe box height is crucial otherwise the pain is intolerable. The 1/2 size up works well enough for my use & the cushioning is fine. I would just like Brooks to go back to a little higher toe box as even the expansion of the toe material in my correct size is very painful pressure on the one toe.

A bit uncomfortable and walkng a bit painful.

I'd say the glycerin is a little snug, not in a bad way but I bought Adrenalines before these & I would say nothing compares to the comfort of the Adrenalines. But i still wear my glycerins everyday & they're comfy!

Cushioned comfort but wish there were more color options for the wide widths

Usually when a new year model comes out, I always complain that they have widened it and it feels bigger. This year, they seem narrower and a bit smaller. I have a narrow foot, so that was a plus. However, I usually have about 1/2 inch space before my toe hits the end. Not this one. I have about a 1/4 inch which concerns me a bit. I don't want to go up another 1/2 size because than there's too much room and my foot swims. I have taken to wearing my thin socks as my more cushion ones are too snug in this shoe, which could be why I now have developed a few blisters. But all in all, after moleskin and a few more runs, I think I am breaking them in. I did purchase another pair so....there you go. I was not a fan of the colors this year, but as long as I can get a good run it, that is more important to me. I'm just happy to still be running nearing the big 50. It's all in the shoes. Having good running shoes is a must.

After breaking them in, they feel good. I upgraded my beaten down glycerin 14. The only flaw is the sneaker rubs against my achilles tendon and causes discomfort if I wear them for more than an hour.

This year?s model runs short and shallow in the toe box. I normally wear an 8.5, needed the 9 in this shoe.

This is a good shoe, but I realize my feet need more support than these running shoes can give. I will wear them(they are red!!) but not for long walks

Definitely more cushion in this running shoe than the Ghost, which is what I wanted; however it feels like it runs a tiny bit smaller (shorter in toe box). I usually bought 8 narrow in the Ghost. I bought 8 medium in the Glycerin and it feels smaller than the 8 narrow in the Ghost.

So far, these have proved to be as comfortable and supportive as my Glycerin 18.

I love the cushion and stability of Glycerin. With the Glycerin 19 I had to go up a half size from the Brooks size I usually wear due to the tightness across my toes.

Where to start? The cushion, awesome, love it. So bouncy and springy. The arch support, I have high arches, the support is probably a medium. If they had a higher arch, they would be a 5 star. I have a pair of the Glycerin 16s, which is why I choose the 19s. I wish there were more colors but supply chain and the new version is getting ready to come out. The laces are surprisingly thin but sturdy. I bought the 074 - Black/Ombre/Metallic, the pictures don't do the color justice. They are actually a pink pearl metallic with a very light pink mid-soul. The picture looks silver and white. The logo is also a pink pearl metallic. I bought these for everyday wear and walking. I stand at work and they required no break in period for me, but I also wear compression socks. I would buy these again.

I?ve always loved Brooks! I used to run competitively in Glycerins. Over the past 8 years, my right foot has become wider; developing a bunion. I ordered a wide 9.5 women?s Glycerin this time and although it?s not painful on my right foot, the bunion area is red after working 8 hours. I feel like the Glycerins are more narrow than some of the other Brooks variety?s! They are comfortable in all other areas and I?ve received several compliments on the appearance of these shoes!

They have the normal cushion that I?ve come to expect and love with the glycerin. However the shoe seemed a lot stiffer and more tight than past pairs. I got blisters on my first three runs in the them and I wear taller running socks. I would maybe size up a half size in these and loosen them a decent amount before your first run!

A little tight across the top, even though it was a wide(D) ended up giving to my sibling.

It reminds me a lot of the ghost series. Not alot of support and a very cushioned run.

I returned for a half size larger. Toes seem shorter and narrow I love the 10mm drop, anything like a 12mm gives me back pain. And I feel like I m walking down hill. Nice cushioning, but a little more wouldn't hurt my feelings. Need more colors too.

This is probably my 7th pair of Brooks Glycerin. It?s the first time I?ve had to return and go up by a half size, runs small. It rubbed on the back of my ankle so I just wore higher socks and no more blister. I still love them for the support and the rose gold color is stylish.
