These will get road tested. I wore lace adjusted 8M in Glycerin 17, my favorite Glycerins. My slightly wide foot needs 8W in the Glycerin 19. The 8M wasn't a remote possibility. The 8M is cutest naturally, because, you know, wide ... in black with white sole this model is simple and clean lined enough to pair with regular street outfits for kind of a retro Nike look. They have pretty good bounce and arch support, but my beat up Glycerin 17 is better. No seems or anything jabbing into food anywhere. For context, my favorite Brooks of all time is Transcend 4. Not too squishy, not too hard, great propel forward. I returned Hoka Bondi 7, Hoka Clifton 8 right out of box. Too stiff, good arch support, but the arch edge in both models had a hard edge that cut into my instep, I could feel it through socks. So no point road testing and ruining for someone else. Saucony Endorphin Pro and Kinvara also returned same day. Uppers uncomfortable. Thank you whomever returned the ones I'm wearing ... one lace one lace loose :) ... for packing and returning with excellent care. I really don't mind getting a quick try on return. Thank you Zappos for try on option! I will give a road test review in time.

This is my first Brooks and I am usually size 8 on regular shoes and 8.5 on nike but I got 8.5 Wide on Brooks.
It is comfortable without breaking in, but I can see why one of the reviewers said that the back of this shoes are like made of cheese grater. It was a bit hard so I ordered size 9 W, but I kept 8.5 W and I am satisfied with the fit. I walk 1.5 hour walks and I can see why they call it "glycerin," it glides very smooth. I hope it comes in more subtle colors more casual-business wearable colors too.

The Glycerin 19 in Black in the size 9 fit true to size for me - but sadly the arch support was missing. The Navy 9.5's last did not match my foot at all. The Navy 9's too small. Just cant get the goldilocks combo right for this style. At least I bought 2 pairs of 17's. Guess I will wait for the Glycerin 20's.

I’ve been wearing Glycerins for years. I’m not a runner, but I log serious walking miles in my sneakers. The 19s ran small and narrow on me. I had to go a half size up to get the fit I’m used to in these shoes. But they’re holding up well to a ton of outdoor miles.

The shoe was very comfortable and fit true to size. My reason for returning it was the thin mesh material on top. I felt like my big toe would come crashing through early in the life of the shoe, so I exchanged them for something with a non-mesh top.

Really cute and super comfortable! Unfortunately, I got a blister on the back of one of my heels the first time trying them outside. I suspect this has more to do with my feet than the shoes. I am bummed as I have large feet and it is hard for me to find good (and cute) shoes in women’s sizes.

Even Zappos said to order 1/2 size up, it was not enough. Should have been full size up. Returned

I really like this shoe! Fits great! Looks amazing. I think it is just a little too soft for me though. I prefer a little more firmness like the adrenaline but I do really like this shoe and the softness does not keep me from wearing it.

I have been a Glycerin/Ghost gal for probably the last 8-9 years. Was not a fan of Glycerin 18. I like the Glycerin 19 much better. Super comfort level. Felt quick even though they aren't designed for that. Felt light-weight. My only complaint is I felt like they were too small and too tight. I had to get a size up and get a wide. I bought the special edition ones in addition to the wides to wear around because they are so darn pretty, but no way could I run in those.

Sadly, I will be returning these. The feel was really nice. They look really nice on.
They were just a tiny bit short in the length. I am trading them in for a longer length.

These shoes are amazing, like running on a cloud but supportive ofcourse. I don't notice them at all while running, I just notice how good I feel, the perfect running shoe!

I love brooks. These are in wonderful fun colors!!! I would give it 5 stars except I ordered the same size as I always do 8.5 and they are a bit tight. I would suggest going up a size on these.

Switched from the ghost to the glycerine. Heel collar rides a bit tight, but love the extra cushioning! Running ~70miles/week.

My very first pair of brooks was splendid I remember thinking ? I didn?t mind spending whatever I needed for these shoes!?, it was like 10 years ago? I still love brooks but I feel the quality of the shoe has gone down over the years?

The shoes are very comfortable. I?m on my feet 8 hours a day and am walking at least 4-5 miles on top of that and my feet are never sore. However the decals on sides of the sneaker are peeling and I?ve only had them 3 weeks!

Great shoe but a bit on the wide side. The laces aren?t the kind that grip but they do stay tied. Just don?t feel as snug.

Very little if any cushion of the foot bed. Extremely rigid. Shoes returned, will go back to my prior Brooks model

Love the shoes! So comfy! Disappointed in the color?says black/ombr/metallic. Unfortunately it has a blue grey color with the black fabric and the metallic color is a pinkish color. I kept them but had hoped for something that looked a little sharper especially with the metallic touch.

I have bought the Glycerin running shoes for many years. Always bought size 9 and every time they fit perfectly. But the Glycerin 19 felt way tight when I got them. In fact, I double checked to be sure they didn't send me a size 8 or something. Wore them and got a blister on my heel which never happened before. I returned them and sized up a half size. I think this will do it, but only time will tell. Heel area still seems a little tighter than past designs. They still are very comfortable as in very lightweight, soft, and good fit for my foot. No other running shoe comes close.

I wear a 7.5 or sometimes even a 7 in regular shoes. I thought I would be safe with an 8 in these but it was too short and my toe was right up at the end of the shoe. Because of that they weren't as comfortable as they should have been. I'm a preschool teacher and need really comfortable shoes for work. Now I'm waiting for the color I want to come back in wide and will reorder then.

Great support and comfort. Runs a half size too small. Preferred the style and look of the Addiction 14, so kept those instead.
