Customer Reviews Brooks Glycerin 19

Very comfortable, easy to run in. Seem to fit smaller than previous models

The shoe is harder to get on in the heel.

Initially I purchased a size 10 (the same size I have been my ENTIRE adult life) I ordered the Glycerin 19 after my 18s finally wore out. Major shock in the difference of the shoe! While it still has some decent cushion it is definitely not as squishy as the 18. The biggest problem I had is that I had continued foot numbness in the size that I would normally wear. I tried re-lacing several times with only reductions in the numbness but not correction. Returned the size 10 and jumped up to a 10 1/2. After majorly loosening the laces, so far they seem to be comfortable but I definitely prefer the glycerin 18 over the 19. I feel like the 19 has a more shallow toebox and the mesh upper is overall tighter on this newer shoe making it feel smaller than it actually is. Def size up at least 1/2 size!

These shoes offer a cushy ride, which I love. They run very small! I am a size 9 usually, and a 9.5 in running shoes, which I like to be roomy, but I find the Brooks Glycerin 19 a bit small and wish I had purchased size 10.

These shoes have amazing cushion and they have really helped solve my issues with plantar fasciitis and knee pains. I gave 4 stars because for some reason, the tips of my toes get sore and rub, even after sizing up and getting wides. I?m not sure why the toe issues, and I continue to wear them because the discomfort is minor. If that didn?t happen, then they would be 5 stars for sure!

The shoes are very comfortable and supportive. I will definitely recommend them and buy another pair. One observation...it was recommended to purchase 1/2 size larger because Brooks shoes are known to run a bit small. I recommended buying a full size larger. These are almost too small and I ordered 1/2 size larger.

Very comfortable with plenty of cushion. One thing I don?t love is that it tends to rub on my heels and had resulted in blisters on a couple of occasions.

Has a good cushion to it. Buying other pairs to be able to rotate through them cause it feels like it lost some of the cushyness after about 20 miles.

I found this to be a little tight. They are my correct size. They?re soft. But run small .

They are light and perfectly cushioned. However, something happened to the back part that touches my Achilles and caused irritation then a blister. I have not had a chance to run in them but can see why people rank them well.

I like the shoe but it runs small and even the half size up was a little snug. The cushion isn't as soft as my other running shoe. I do like them but they take a little bit to stretch out and feel as good as they do now.

Comfortable & breathable shoe

These are the most plush and cushiony shoes all around that I have ever worn. However, they are very snug. They run a whole size small and narrow - the wide sizes could still be wider so I can imagine the medium width would be narrow for anyone whose foot is even slightly on the wider side - I would say unless you have narrow feet, order the wide width. That?s the only reason I subtract one star - because of the difficulty with sizing. I am normally a a size 7W but I have been ordering half a size up in all my running shoes since I have bunions and need a roomier toe box. In these, going half a size up to a 7.5W was still snug enough that it was not giving me enough room and also slightly pressing on my bunion, which would be irritating for longer duration of running or walking. However because of how much I appreciate the cushion comfort I have exchanged the 7.5W for an 8W, because I definitely appreciate having these for days when I want that extra plush experience. In contrast I have the Launch 8 and those are actually quite roomy in 7.5W to the point where I would probably have been fine to get a 7W - just goes to show how snug, narrow, and small these seem to run in comparison. In terms of breathability - these aren?t the best shoes for hotter temperatures. I can see why that is the case, as the cushioning sacrifices some breathability. If you tend to experience very hot sweaty feet, I suggest avoiding these and getting the Launch, which are so lightweight and very breathable. For most people, these would be great for indoor runs on a treadmill since you can have the AC on or running outdoors in cooler weather. I don?t have particularly sweaty feet, but I still wouldn?t run/hike outside in these in the summer.

Like walking on marshmallows...loved them but had to return them. The 10mm heel drop is too high and after 4 hours wearing them my metatarsals were hurting. Why do the extra cushion shoes Glycerin and Ghost both have the higher heel drop??

I typically love this shoe but something seems a bit off on the fit.
