Customer Reviews Brooks Glycerin 19

The Glycerin 19 were smaller than my old pair had to go up to a size 10. (I have worn a 9 1/2 for the last 5 years so I do not think it was my feet getting bigger). They also feel a bit thicker and more bulky than the glycerin 18. I have worn the Glycerin for about 8 years now and the last model the Glycerine 18 is by far my favorite style. I wish they would of kept the shoe how it was.

They are ok, they really dig into the back of my heels though.

These shoes would've fit perfectly if there was enough room for orthotic inserts. I have wide but very short feet (size 4.5 - 5), and I also have plantar fasciitis and was looking for shoes with enough cushioning. But once I put an insert in these shoes, there wasn't enough room for my heels to fit in the shoe. Every step I took, my heels felt like they were slipping out, so sizing up wouldn't have made a difference. The shoelaces were so short that I couldn't even slip them into the extra shoelace hole to tighten the shoe around my heel. The shoes look good but for the price, are very poorly designed. After just one day of wearing these to work in the hospital facility I work at (I'm a healthcare worker who runs around treating patients), my plantar fascia felt horrible. Now I'm back at square one trying to find cushioned shoes for plantar fasciitis that aren't too big or too small. The plus side is that this company allows returns after wearing the shoes outside. I wish other companies could adopt this policy...

Surprised by the fit and the looks. I've been running in nothing but Brooks Glycerin and the occasional Ghost for years. They've all fit perfectly, and all very much the same. This model all of a sudden feels a tad small. I imagine the upper will give a little once they're broken in, but I feel like my toes might bump up against the tip of the shoe on a run. If I can try them out on the road and still return them if they don't fit, I'll give them a try, otherwise they have to go back. I'm just afraid I'll regret keeping them. The looks were a bit of a disappointment, too. I ordered them in Peacoat/Diva Pink/Black because they looked cool in the pictures on the website. They looked black, and the name says black. But they're blue. Not a big deal but not what I expected.

This is my 2nd pair of Brooks Glycerine shoes and I have always worn a size nine but this pair seems very narrow and just doesn?t fit as well as my last pair which were the 18. Disappointing.

Not true to size. Narrow and snug

I had the Glycerin 18?s in a 7.5 size and they fit so well. I got the same size in the Glycerin 19?s and it has been a tight squeeze. Anytime I walk, it feels as if my toe is jamming into the front of the shoe. I recommend going up a half size for comfort. (Low key annoying that the sizing has changed)

Nice sneaker but made my one foot go numb after 15 mins. Returned.

I've been running in Ghost for a few years now but started to get hip tendonitis (not the shoes' fault - I'm injury prone) and wanted to try out the Glycerin. First thing: I ordered my usual size 9.5 (in normal shoes I'm 8.5/9) and they were WAY too small. Ended up trying again with a 10.5. First run outside at ~2.5 miles was good, but when I took them to the treadmill for a 3 mile run after 2 miles the bottom of my feet started burning. Normally I'd order a bigger size, but going to size 11 feels ridiculous to me. Never had this issue with Ghost. NOTE: I wear custom orthotic insoles and remove the Brooks insoles, so this may be an issue unique to me.

I love the Glycerin. Have been running in them for years! Unfortunely the sizing seems to have changed with these..I have worn a size 10 in all models for years, when I put this pair on I immediately noticed they are very small. After reading the reviews it seems like others have experienced the same thing. I will be needing to go up to a 11 next time.

Was very excited to receive. Very bummed out that my arches were hurting with these expensive shoes.
