Too small, great cushion and lightweight . Need to order bigger size than the usual with Brooks.

Love the cushion. My usual size 9 feels a little short.

I ordered these in exchange for a pair of medium width of the same style which were too narrow. My feet have changed over the years, but I still don't wear a wide in any shoe, but wide is the only thing that worked in these Glycerin's. They are comfortable and fit well overall. Brooks has definitely changed. For years I could just buy the next version and they would fit with no issue. Today there is no longer consistency in fit in any style they offer unfortunately.

The bottom of this shoe was very plush, felt great. The top of this shoe was the biggest issue; if you have a high instep, it may not be comfortable. No matter how much adjustment to the laces, it felt as if the top of my foot was being crushed. Really well made shoe, just not the right one for me.

I wore Glycerin for years, but Brooks has definitely changed over the past several years and this style is no longer an instant great fit. Overall, the 19 appears to be more stable and supportive than the previous two versions, but they are running narrow for my feet after inserting my orthotic. They extend way over the side supports, and I will be exchanging for a wide in hopes it is a better fit. It is very disappointing they don't offer much color selection in the wide width.

I changed to this model, previously Adrenaline 20. I am a walker, about 3-4 miles 6 days/week. Other people have said these are true to size. I have had 2 pairs of adrenalines, size 12. I am normally size 11. So, I decided to split the difference and got 11.5 (a size I have literally never seen before). Well, it was too small. So, these shoes continue to run a full size small for me. I like these a lot. When I first put them on, I immediately noticed a sort of rocker motion from heel to toe, so I almost felt propelled forward a bit. It was an interesting sensation that I quickly adjusted to. These are comfortable as were the adrenalines. I am happy with these and will probably stay with Brooks forever because these shoes really fit my big feet.

I usually run in Nikes. However, this time Nike did not have my size in the shoes I wanted. So this is my first time trying Brooks. I went for a 10.8 mile run yesterday. This was my first run in these shoes. They perform as expected. I especially like the shoe strings; they are different. I will probably need to go on more runs in these shoes to really get a feel and offer experienced feedback.

Great comfortable shoe. Also own a pair of ghost 13, and there is more cushion to the glycerin 19. Like other reviewers stated, sizing is off?.I normally wear a 9.5 but had to go with a 10 in these.

I normally wear Brooks Ghost's in a 9 wide. These were too narrow even in the wide so I had to send them back.

I always go a 1/2 size up for running sneakers and these are perfect. My only complaint is the heel digs in just a bit. I'm hoping it will give over time.

I currently wear Brooks Ghost - tried these and like the others felt the shoes ran a TAD short. Going back for the Ghost model. I could try a half size larger but I feel that would be too large.

I loved the colors of this shoe. I usually wear a 6 1/2, but ordered a 7 in these and they were still super snug on my feet! They run a full size smaller than all other shoes I have. I felt like all of the pressure was in my heels. I really wanted to love these shoes!

Its a comfortable shoe but I definitely liked My old glycerine better. But all in all it is a very nice shoe.

These were recommended to me by a fellow runner. We both loved the Saucaony Ride for years. I am happy I have made the change. They are comfortable and provide great support. After logging 12 miles in them over the last two weeks I am glad I made the switch.

The toe box is much smaller, cant wear my favorite socks. BTW - Why cant you pick any fun colors for Glycerin. These are the same boring selection. I have gone about 20 miles so far, but the toe box change is a concern. I will be watching for clearance of the Glycerin 18. Luckily the snow has melted so I can wear lighter socks.

I love the Glycerine 19 running shoe. I do have a problem with the heel collar rubbing against the back of my heel. I compared the shoe collar with the heel collar in my Transends, as well as my husbands Glycerine 18 and his Ghosts. There is definitely not as much padding in the Glycerine 19. I would like for Brooks to examine the Glycerine 19 heel collar and let me know what you think. Thanks

The show runs small. Even though I picked wide it is tight. I am going to try .5 size bigger.

It has great cushioning, but the toe area is smaller than before and I had to go up 1/2 a size. The heel is looser - likely due to going up in size. It is still very comfortable and an attractive shoe. I use it for walking, working out and the treadmill.

Shoe fits fantastic plenty a room in the toebox. Twice as much cushioning as the previous model. I do find a little less support in the arch in her foot making me feel like I?m almost over pronating a smidge. May give the GTS a try and see if that creates a little more stability. I have a normal gait but I don?t feel that there is as much support in the middle as previous models Still my go to!!!

This would be 5 stars if this ?wide? size was actually wide. To me, it?s really close to the regular width size.
