Not as good as previous Glycerin models. I feel like Brooks was trying to be too competitive with the Hoka One’s on this version. Very plush. Very comfortable, if you are looking for ultra cushion in your shoes. The arch support is lacking in comparison to previous versions. My feet have been cramping due to the lack of real support. Also, the back of the shoe comes up rather high and rubs on the back of my ankle. Disappointed with the 19’s

This is my 5th pair of glycerins, and I had recently bought a pair that had to be returned (sale shoe that I think was an 18) b/c they just weren't comfortable. I ordered another pair (glycerin 19) and I would say they're just ok as far as fit goes. In the past these shoes never needed any breaking in period, but for some reason, the newer versions just don't feel quite as good as they previously did. They feel snug in the instep and never noticed that before. I hope that they eventually feel like they should. Not sure I'll order again.

Toe box tight with my orthotic. Cute and sturdy but returned

Like everything but the toe box. Even got 1/2 size bigger and still toes are cramped. Can only walk short distances. Disappointed. Otherwise they are comfortable. I really wanted to like these and they look cool!

This shoe runs a 1/2 too small. Also, I do not have a wide foot so it works well for me. I am giving it the 30day run free trial because it is very expensive, wanting to see if it will go the distance. I am not sure it is worth the money- seems like shoe that should cost $50.

Be warned: the Medium width is a very narrow style. I have a narrow foot and even so, I felt like these shoes were squeezing my feet. They felt like a glove, and not in a good way. There’s no way I could’ve comfortably worn socks with them. For reference, I’m a 10 in most shoes, and a 10.5 in running shoes. My Ghost 12’s are a 10.5 Medium width and they feel great! But these were too tight and I couldn’t jam my custom orthotics in them, so back they go! Bummed because the colors are so beautiful in person: black with an icy metallic pink. Might have to reorder in the wide to see if it’s a better fit.

I wear a 6 1/2 wide, or European 36. In many brands I need to size up to a 7w. I ordered a 7 wide and they are a half size too short. If reviews say go up a half size, normally the 7W will cover it. Not so with this shoe. My toes are scraping the front.

I am a die hard Brooks Ghost fan and I thought I would try the Glycerin. I tried on in a store so, I felt like the size 8 would work. They felt fitted and slightly tight on the top of my feet, which is why I went a half size bigger. Note: I wear a size 7 1/2 in the Ghost. After two wears they significantly stretched out so, now they are too big. I am super disappointed I wish I stuck with my usual size 7 1/2. If the size was correct the cushion is wonderful and they would most likely of been a great shoe! For reference I am 5'4 118 pounds.

I loved these sneakers. I ordered a half size up as suggested. The color was great and they felt great for a while but then started to hurt and make my toes and side of my foot feel numb . Although I normally wear a B width, they are too narrow across the toe area. I will try to order a wide.

I love the fact that no matter which style I choose Brooks are exactly the same in sizing. There is absolutely no guessing about whether they will fit or not. This is my first, and last pair of Glycerin's, unfortunately. They just don't give me the comfort, support, and overall "fit" as the Adrenaline line does. I will continue to purchase Brooks, but I'm sticking with the Adrenaline.

I have been wearing the Ariel that has a wide toe box, but I tried this one. It is too narrow in the toe

This is my 6th pair of Brooks Glycerin shoes and for some reason these were so tight. Did not feel the same as the others as far as comfort.

I really like these shoes but I can’t find the right size. I wear a 6.5 M in ghost and they are perfect, but the 6.5 M in these is too short. Tried 7M and they are ok in length but too wide in the heels. Unfortunately they all have to go back.

I loved this version of the Glycerin but it is a half if not full size smaller than what I?ve always been in this shoe. I even lined them up with my 18s and there was a beyond noticeable difference. Definitely size up.

The size is true to size I think. When I first put these on in the store I loved them. They are very comfy. Lots of cushioning. But after wearing them twice I have to return them. The heel cup comes up too high or something which ends up making my heels hurt so much I can’t continue my walk. Luckily Brooks has a good return policy.

I actually ordered a wide because I have small bunions. Well, my foot still felt the edge of the shoe. Too much money to not be comfortable

Tie area is wide enough- I?m a B width - but short. From sole to top of shoe it feels tight. Have been through many glycerine and 17 was my favorite. I thought, based on looks, that 19 would be similar, it is not.

These hugs my feet but I would prefer more cushion like the old 11 used to be.
