The narrow size is essential for me. The medium width runs too wide. My size is also very roomy in the toe (almost too much so), but the heel - if I lace them extremely tight - is fine. I LOVE the design of these shoes that supports my supination. Stabilizes my foot extremely well. In that this is my first pair of Brooks, I may need a smaller size but will continue to value the supination support!

I wore 11.5 wide in Glycerine 17. Good fit, ordered same size in Glycerin 19. Too short
And too wide. Returned shoe and ordered same shoe in 12 M. Perfect fit! Love them! I always wear arch supports in all my shoes
Including Glycerins - so can’t
Comment on arch support.

I like style, comfortable, The top of heal folds in when putting on. Needs be little stiffer. After a week I had to add powder to help squeaking. I bought 8w my to hits top. Overall I like.

I have plantar fasciitis in the left foot and would have to limit my walking because of the pain from that. I have noticed tho with the new shoes that I am not noticing pain as much! The heel does not get a red either after a long walk so the shoes get all the credit for that. Thank you Brooks for a great new product!

I am not a runner but need the stability the Glycerin 19 provides. I ordered a wide because a previously owned pair of Brooks WW were too wide after wearing for several weeks. The support on the Glycerin is wonderful, keeps my foot stable. Breaking them in has been slow, the W is feeling not quite wide enough but ok. Hopefully after wearing a bit the width will be fine,

I usually wear a size 10 but reviews indicated the glycerin ran small so I ordered a10 1/2 but it was too wide and not comfortable, it was not available in a narrow.

I just received my Glycerin's within the last week. I am also wearing my Ghost 13's so haven't made my final decision on them yet. I had read the reviews saying to size up a half size but called Brooks customer service for their opinion before ordering. They suggested ordering in my normal size 1st. I did as they suggested but they were snug when I received and tried them on. I returned them for a half size larger. They are definitely more comfortable for walking longer distances and I can definitely feel the additional cushioning. The shoe laces, however, aren't as thick and nice as the Ghost 13's. Overall, The shoes do feel a little loose to me but feel I made the right choice.

Love the lightness of this shoe. I agree with the other reviews in that the toe box is a tiny bit shorter than previous versions of this sneaker. Maybe go up a 1/2 size? Still a great sneaker

Super comfortable, reliable shoe. For me, it does not feel like a "fast" shoe and so I wear it for my "easy" runs during the week.

Good shoe but the wide needs to be a bit wider to fit my feet. They seem to have lost some much needed space

Loved these shoes SO much but there is a hard plastic piece in the heel that is very uncomfortable. Everything else about them is magical! LOVE the cushiony bottom! I have no problems or pain in my heel area but this piece is just too uncomfortable. Have to send them back.

The glycerin 19s are truly comfortable, like walking on air. I'm probably not the best person to rate them however. I'm a 62 year old athlete with multiple problems from wear and tear, joint replacements, etc. I have found that Brooks Levitate work just a little better for me, but I highly recommend glycerin 19s for younger, healthier runners!

Great running shoe. I would suggest two enhancements - the tread is wearing down super fast after only 100 miles of mixed terrain. Also, would be awesome to have these in Goretex. Otherwise a good comfy running shoe that does not seem to cause me fatigue.

Love these shoes -- BUT the back of the right shoe comes up higher than the left. This seems to be a quality control issue since I have seen other people say this too. They rub the back of my foot by the achilles. Can handle it for a short walk but not a long walk/run. I would have returned them but tried to give them a chance.

The only thing to complain about is that the laces are too short! I even own a wide pair and I am going to have to get new laces for my shoes.

I am a long time Brooks Glycerin fan and buy the new model every season. This updated model is narrow. I ordered my typical size 8 medium and then had to return because it was too narrow in the toe box. The new size I ordered is the 8 wide and it seems to fit more like my last pair. Not super excited about the new profile. Looking down the sole of the shoe extends wider out from the inside of the fore foot. Haven't had a chance to put miles on them but I thought I would advise anyone that always wears this model to anticipate a more narrow fit.

Good but I had to place a shoe padding for more comfort for the sole of my feet.

I wanted to try this shoe and it bothered the arch of my foot. Not the right shoe for my feet. I reordered the Ghost and I have no arch pain!!! Ghost is the top pick on the shoe advisor for me ?

These may be ok, but they run super small compared to previous generations. Had to return. I would size up but they don’t come any bigger. I would recommend a size up!

After 15 years of wearing Brooks Glycerin, I'm having a terrible time this year finding the perfect size. My normal size is too short, yet half size up is too long. Tried going wider in normal size but it's still pinching toes at the end. Guess I need to try a different brand which is frustrating. Why does Brooks feel the need to change the fit?

These shoes feel amazing! The only draw back for me was the color choices. The pair I got are already looking dirty and the green rubber trim is already peeled up on one shoe. I would have gotten the black and pink pair but I already have them in another style.

Expensive, but great shoes. My feet were hurting so bad by the end of my workday. I walk/run on concrete the entire time I?m at work. These shoes make an awesome difference in my day and especially when I get home. No more achy feet!
