I am actually a barefoot runner (ala Five Fingers) but needed something for long walks. Brooks was recommended at the shoe store and I decided to go with the Glycerins. A few weeks later, because I wanted to wear them 24/7 I bought this second pair for 'fashion' - or actually because I wanted to wear cute (and comfortable, oh so comfortable) kicks out to dinner that weren't all dirty from walking dirt paths. Everyone has different feet. I have a 'neutral' - i.e. NOT supinated or pronated - stride so these are perfect for me. Though I like zero drop for running, I like a bit of drop for walking. For me, these are the bomb.

I honestly love these shoes. The second I take them off my feet are like, "what, no, why are you doing that." I can't wait until I put them on each day. I'm going to buy a second pair just to be able to wear them for all occasions, not just in the hospital. I wear them on average 8 hours a day constantly on my feet and I do not have any complaints.

This purchase was well worth the money. I achieved pain free walking for the first time in years. I put the shoes on to go walking and just keep them on for the rest of the day. I recommend this for older folks with pain in the feet, hands down!

Super comfy well-fitting shoe. Run On in Dallas fitted me but did not have the color I wanted. They referred me to the Brooks website for purchase. I will definitely be a Run On customer again!

Comfortable for unpretty goofy old feet. Power walk or treadmill 3-5 miles a day and these shoes do the trick for comfort.

I have PF with high arches and high insteps. These are the most comfortable shoes that I have ever worn.

I?m not a runner but do a lot of walking and my job requires me to be on cement all day and put in a lot of steps during a work day wearing Glycerin 19 has made me feel like my feet are walking on clouds, they are heaven to me. I have searched for years and have tried many athletic shoes, none can compare. My granddaughter is a runner and suggested Brooks and I am so thankful. Best ever.

SO comfy! I have really bad plantar fasciitis in my left foot! I?m convinced these shoes have helped me heal! A year ago I was only able to ride the bike. Now, I?m able to run almost 2 miles a day! I love brooks so much I now buy them for work! I?m a nurse & work 12 hour shifts. These shoes help my feet, my knees, & my back! If you were on the fence about getting Brooks look no further!

I actually do more walking than running. I thought, however, if these shoes were highly rated by runners, they must offer superior comfort, cushioning and support....and I was right ! These are the most comfortable walking/running shoes I've ever worn, and even though they cost more than I would normally pay for this type of shoe, this will NOT be the last pair of Brooks shoes that I buy.

My search for the best jogging or "recovery" running shoes that would minimize shock impact to my knees was finally over once I received a free replacement pair for my new Brooks Glycerin 19 due a couple defects created by the insole manufactured by Ortholite. Brooks definitely lived up to its claim of great customer support most likely because the company invests in purchaser's experience to become long term repeating customers. I was looking for the best combination of one, a breathable and minimal upper material, two, a neutral footing with good midsole and heel support, and three, maximal shock absorption. Although max cushion Saucony Triumph 18 has fantastic shock absorption, my feet felt mummified and the bridge was too tight fitted even after adjusting the lace and switching sizing. The max cushion Asics Nimbus 23 has great heel impact resistance with its patented gel, but at the medial metatarsal ball of foot region of the forefoot to the big toe area still doesn't have enough shock absorption; furthermore, its upper has maximal material where the feet get hot and a relatively high collar. Consequently, the my trifecta crown is given to the max cushion shoe, Glycerin 19.

The Glycerin 19 was recommended to me by a co-worker and I am so happy that I purchased it. I walk about 40 miles a week and the cushion that this shoe gives makes my walk all the more fun! My caution is that while I have numerous pairs of Brooks shoes, this particular one seems tight and I wish I had ordered a full size up instead of the usual half size up.

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.

The 19s are my 3rd or 4th pair of Glycerines. I usually wear an 11 medium, but for these I order the wide. My favorite part of the shoe is the cushioned neck. I have really narrow ankles, and they hug me perfectly. My 3/4 orthotic fits great. They are cushy but supportive. I’m not a runner, but I live in these and have barely taken them off since they arrived.

I've been trying different models and types of running and walking shoes that either caused toenail loss, foot pain or knee pain. As soon as I go back to the Glycerin, no pain. After all the torture performed on my poor feet, had to switch to D width on the Glycerins. They are much more comfortable than the standard width and my toes are less cramped. I am a walker, but can see why so many runners love Brooks; purchased 2 pair in D width before they were all gone.

This is my third pair of Brooks Glycerin, after years and years running in ASICS for many Marathons. I absolutely love the Brooks Glycerin and the 19?s feel great and so supportive. No issues with blisters or losing toe nails. I will be purchasing again soon due to mileage.
