Customer Reviews Brooks Glycerin 19

I do like almost everything about the Glycerin 19 - the soft upper, wide stable base, width around the ball of foot, colors, cushy foam, breathable upper... The couple things I'm not a huge fan of are the toe box could be just a little roomier and the sizing seems to run slightly smaller than it used to (my toes don't have the room they used to in my previous Glycerins and Brooks shoes. I wish the foam had a little more spring to it as well. But after buying 4 different models of cushion running shoes from Brooks and another top running shoe brand, the Glycerin is the one I decided to keep.

Great fit as always. I run about 30 miles a week. They provide good cushion. Happy feet!

despite purchasing this in a "wide", this show is very narrow

Love these shoes very comfortable to power walk in! Will buy again!

I bought these for work and am so pleased with them. I also have a pair of Ghost 13s and I love both. I bought the Ghosts first, hoping they would help to combat my plantar fasciitis. These have a little more cushion than the Ghosts, but I do still love them. I use a heel insert specifically designed for PF, and I will never buy another brand of running shoes again. I'm an ER nurse, working in a VERY busy department on concrete floors for 12 hour shifts...foot pain is not new to me. These shoes are fantastic. If you're looking for a little more solid support, go with the Ghosts. If you like or need a bit more cushion, these are the shoe for you! I'm super happy with both pairs, and now rotate them either every other day or every other week, depending on my mood!

These are actual perfection. They're incredibly light and airy, ventilated well, and incredibly comfortable. I almost look forward to my runs now.

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

I?ve used Brooks for running for a few years now... LOVE the Glycerin!!

This is my fourth pair of Glycerins. I absolutely love them. I wish you would make shoes for the tennis court too!

Very comfortable shoes. Good support.

Best shoes/ investment for myself ever and I?m 59 years old ... that says a lot.

These shoes are the best, so comfy!! They offer lots of support, and cradle the foot perfectly! The cushioning gives a great springy bounce with each heel strike to absorb on impact! This is my second pair of Glycerins and I really don?t see myself choosing a different shoe for walking or running.

Love the shoes. They run a little narrow in my opinion. I have to size up a half of size and go with a wide width for the right fit.

I love this show. It had so much support and is so comfortable.

These are the best ones yet. I bout the Adrenaline GTS 20.... nice an comfy, then I bought the Transmit 2, nice an comfy. My third pair was Glycerin 19....... LAWD HAVE MERCY!!!!! I absolutely LOVE them. I have plantar fasciitis which has been affecting my knee and these shoes are like the best everrrrrrr! I stopped Zumba due to me not having the right shoe, but now, I'm back......... I never want to take them off. Definitely worth the money, I will be purchasing in more colors.

I love them! They are so comfortable. I have been running in the Launch for years but have noticed the need for a little more cushion lately. The Glycerin is like running on a cloud. My feet are so grateful.

These are my go-to running shoes! They?re comfortable, provide support in all the right places, are durable, and stylish.

I have a "bad" right foot and use this shoe for walking 2-3 miles per day and also standing and walking within my home. The shoes offer good support (flat feet) and the toe box is large enough to accommodate my hammer toe. I did order 1/2 size larger, again to accomodate the hammer toe.

I stumbled upon Brooks and specifically Glycerin's by accident. I really just liked the oil slick look of a pair I bought four years ago. Since then I now know all serious runners run on Brooks. I only run on Glycerin's. I have tried other Brooks but oddly enough, I need less support around my ankles and for my shoes to be able to bend and move with my foot. This is my fourth pair. At my peak during the summer I run about a marathon in total every week. What I love about these shoes is that you can tell every year they really are improving them based on their science and research. I tried on this pair and was like, "omg, it's like the Maybach of shoes", it was so cushioned. And it was. It's unbelievable what a new pair of running shoes and the best one's at that will do as far as pain and enjoyment of the run. I did go up a full size because I read that both these run a little small and because of the miles I run (too small shoes will destroy your toenails). I especially like that I finally have a solid black pair. My aesthetic is all-black anyways, so this matches perfectly with all my running outfits.

I love my Glycerins and have been getting them for over a decade. My running days have been over but I like good shoes on my feet for walking. I've always ordered 1/2 size up from my regular size for Glycerin... until this year where I needed to exchange them for full size up. They are extra cushy. I love the feel and support that they give me. I own several previous years of glycerin; gray with wine, black with accent colors and a pair with robin blue soles and coral. I got the all black this year so they would be less sporty and go with more clothes. I wish Brooks would do more without the white soles because they never stay white. If/when this year's Glycerin 19s go on sale I'd love to pick up an extra pair. I use my older pairs for gardening. I hope Brooks works out the sizing issues for future models and makes it clear about the sizing so I know whether they recalibrated for the extra cushioning. And let us know to go 1/2 or one full size up.
