I've been running in Glycerin for many years and this version felt a half a size too small.

I like to cushion in them. Compared to other shoes, however I was hoping and expecting more relief of my heel pain switching to these shoes. That was a diss appointment. May consider trying a different shoe before buying again.

What happened Brooks? The Glycerin has been my only running shoe for over 10 years, except for this version. I use a full length custom orthotics and purchase the wide width to accommodate the orthotics (and my wider foot). The Glycerin 19 (in wide) is way too tight both in length and width... I actually switched to the Brooks Ghost instead (wide width), which is actually roomier than previous Glycerins.

I usually wear Hoka's because I wear them for the cushioning and the Bondi 7 has a lot of cushion. But decided to try these Glycerin 19 since they were recommended on a couple different websites for people with plantar fasciitis. They look nice, but are not nearly as comfortable. They run small and are also very narrow. I had to go up a half size and put different laces in just to make them comfortable enough to wear for more than a short time.

It's a good quality show but my experience training for a marathon if I train over 10 miles or so on a given day my feet are really hurting long before I reach the end of my route. Fortunately Brooks has a 3 month return guarantee. If you're not trying to run a marathon or have a lower arch like I do these may work well. If they don't, they can be sent back so you can try something else

Glycerin 18 are more comfortable than 19 to me. I had to order a half size larger of the 19. The 19 shoe laces are much shorter than 18; too short. Navy looks more like teal green.

I wanted to love these as I have several other Brooks including the Ghost and Adrenaline as well as other Glycerine shoes and have found the Glycerine to be the most comfortable shoes I have ever had, until now. I am very disappointed in the Glycerine 19. they run very short in length and the cushion is not like the Glycerine 17 that I own or even the Glycerine 14. I got these yesterday and I am sending them back today. I hope that maybe the next Glycerine 20 or beyond will have the cushion and padding that I need and have found in the past.

Glycerin is my favorite shoe for the cushion and support but the 19 is too narrow in the toe box for wide feet. Perhaps an extra wide is in order when you are skimpy on a new version.

So I usually wear the Ghost model, but decided to try something different. What I liked about Glycerin: super cushiony, neutral, and offered in a variety of great colors. I was also looking for a shoe with a roomy toe box but narrow heel. This seemed to fit the bill. What I didn?t like: even though I sized up a whole size (I?m a 9.5 and ordered a 10.5) as I do with Ghost, my big toe was right to the edge of the shoe. I?m not sure why there is such a difference in shoe length, but it ended up being the deal breaker for me. I wasn?t sure even by going up another half size would have been enough. And sizing up two whole sizes just seems ridiculous. So, I?m back to Ghosts, which maybe is a sign that I should just keep a good thing going when I find it.

I purchased the Brooks Glycerin 19 for long distance walking. When I first put them they felt comfortable but after five minutes of walking around my home on hardwood floors my toes started to squish and become numb. Perhaps I should have ordered 1/2 size larger. Overall they are quite comfortable and attractive. I suggest ordering 1/2 size larger than what you normally wear in a sneaker.

They are okay. Definitely not a wide toe box. Also, the heel is so wide that I get blisters even with the heel lock

I have bought Glycerins for years.. the 19s are noticeably very different. I had to go up a 1/2 size and get wide. I have bunions. Normal width used to be fine, but the 19s are more narrow. I also had to go up 1/2 size because the style now has a much stronger curve on the bottom front of the shoe, causing my toes to hit the end of the shoe as I step forward. I wish I could just get another pair of 18s.

I was disappointed with the color choices. I picked the raspberry this time. I already have the black and a purple. I would like to see more fun/ fashion prints like the purple leopard or more bright color. If it wasn?t for the cushion, I probably would of went with another shoe.

I ordered a half size larger than my usual size, and my big toe was pressed against the end of the shoe. They don't carry a full size larger in narrow for me, so I have to return these.

Cute shoes - especially for neutral colors. I had to return them due to fit. Most Women's regular width are too tight in the toe box. If I order wide width My feet swim in them. So I end up buying men's sneakers & I'm stuck with masculine colors. To be fair I didn't try these in regular width 1st because they weren't available. I've owned 1 pair of Brook's Ghost before (in men's) which were very comfy but didn't last long in comparison to my other brand. Already ordered some different Brook's to try & Zappos is a Godsend for the absolute ZERO hassle with returns.
I'd also recommend:

Foot pad very wide and when walking they brush into each other. I can see this as a tripping issue.

I?ve worn Brooks shoes for about 8 years and have always worn size 6, but I just received my Glycerin 19 and they run small.

Not true to size! I use 8 1/2 for running. That's one size bigger than my feet. I needed size 9 from Glycerin 19 because size 8 and a half was small. I ordered wide as I always do. Unfortunately the "wide". It's too narrow. I am very disappointed. Going back to Ghost 13. That's the one. Brooks have to correct this!

I have worn this particular shoe for years. They fit my foot perfectly. The most comfortable shoe on the market. I have planter fasciitis and put my orthotics into this shoe. I was however disappointed when I opened the package to find that the shoes had been previously worn before. The soles of the shoes were soiled. :(. There was nothing in the description to indicate that I would be purchasing a used shoe.

Ever since the Adrenaline was changed a few years ago, I?ve been searching for another style of Brooks that will have the same comfort level and sadly haven?t found them. I am wearing this pair of Glycerin but am just not sold on the comfort so it will be the last pair of this style for me

I have worn Brooks Glycerin shoes for over 10 years - multiple pairs per year. However, this newest rendition was just a flop if you are used to a roomy fit in the toe box area. The Glycerin 19 is too tight, too narrow for me. I have always bought the wide version (to accommodate custom full-length orthotics) and my slightly wide feet. Sadly, I returned these and tried the Brooks Ghost 14 (in wide) and now will wear those for the next few months.

The toe of the shoe is narrower than the 15. I really liked my 15 and the 19 is not the same.

It was my first time purchasing Brooks brand sneakers and I found for myself that there was nowhere near enough cushioning for my feet. I use the smart finder on your website but you were out of the GTS model and it seems like a mild difference so I took a chance but it didn't work out.

They were tighter than the last pair I purchased. I bought the exact size and style as I bought previously. Was disappointed in the difference in size.
