The 9 wide was too wide! Felt like my toes were swimming but the 9 medium makes my feet numb after awhile. So disappointed. Love the cushioning though.

I?ve been wearing these shoes less than a month. There is a hole in the fabric and the sole is extremely worn. They are comfortable but don?t hold up

They are a half size smaller than the 18, so my inserts did not fit. I?ll have to look for another shoe.

I usually wear Brooks Ghost but wanted to try a shoe with more cushion. Initially these felt great, but about 2 miles in, it was clear that they were too tight in the toebox and my toes went numb on both feet. I exchanged for 1/2 size up, which initially seemed ok but the same problem occurred. I wanted to like them but unfortunately they had to go back.

It may works for some people however not for me, too tight in the toe box. I even tried the wide fit. I dont' like the compression on the top and/or side of the front of my foot. .

I like the look of the shoe but it isn?t as comfortable as my Adidas or Nike. They just aren?t comfortable to me. After 3 weeks I have gone back to my my shoes I had before buying these and gave these to my daughter. Very disappointed in the value for the cost I paid.

I have worn glycerins for years and am disappointed with the 19 model. The cushioning feels less than previous glycerins, the fit is more snug, and the height of the toe cap is more shallow than before so that the top of my toes are slightly compressed

Several of my friends swear by the glycerines and they are stylish but they were just not for me, I didn't find the heel as comfortable as they did, it felt a little hard on the bottom. I bought these to wear to work, maybe if they were my running shoes it would be different. I returned them.

After 2 weeks my feet hurt so bad ! These shoes never broke in and not worth how much I spent on them.

This is a nice looking shoe but was not right for my feet. There was not enough arch support and it felt like I was running on a board?no give. It also rubbed the top of one toe.

Returning shoes, very tight and uncomfortable. Have other Brooks I like better. Need more shoes in wide. Love the color!

Ugh...I hate to leave poor reviews but reviews are the reason why I chose this particular shoe in the first place, so hopefully this will help you make a thorough decision. I LOVE LOVE the glycerin 18...I have burned through 4 pairs of this shoe. They are the perfect neutral shoe for the way I run and my knee pain and ankle stiffness virtually disappeared once I started running in these shoes. I love them so dang much. To clarify-I love the glycerin 18. The 19? Meh-not so much. I purposefully size up in size and width (size 7 wide) because this is what is most comfortable for me when I run. In fact, the reason for the low star review for the G19 is because the WIDTH of the shoe in the tow box area is much more narrow than the G18. The rubber sole is wider, however the actual toe box is tight and narrow...not even the same measurements in width in my old shoes-I even measured, just to be sure. So 2/5 stars and to be honest, I would give it a 1 but Brooks is an awesome brand so I'm giving you guys credit for that. The shoe itself has the perfect amount of comfort, cushion and lightness. I just need a wider toe box and don't want to go up in width as its the chunky sole that is wider, not the actual toe area. I'm super bummed-returning ASAP.

This is my third pair of Glycerins and they are not nearly as comfortable as previous ones. My toes feel cramped. Did the manufacturing change?? Disappointed because I have raved about Brooks for years.

Not for me. They may be great for some, but are just wide in the wrong places for my feet!

Shoe definitely runs small. I would recommend sizing up for comfortable fit. I have a hard time wearing them because they hurt my feet. Waste of money!

This shoe was a full 2 sizes smaller than the previous Brooks Glycerin 19 that I purchased. I can only assume that the size was marked incorrectly.

I have been an avid brooks customer. Always wore a size 10. Got these and they were way too tight and short. Tried the 10.5 and the length felt okay but the toe box feels tight especially as the day goes on and the foot swells and the 11 is way too big. The cushioning is great, colors are great but the sizing is way off and will be returning. Mind you I have skinny feet. I do wear orthotics but even without them, same issue.

As other reviewers have mentioned, the balls of my feet hurt after just a few miles. Definitely returning these shoes.

Brooks must have changed their design criteria - both the Glycerin 8 & 8.5 were too narrow. They are pretty.

My Glycerin 18s are a size 8 and I love them. Especially for the treadmill. So, I ordered an 8, extremely small and too tight. I sent the size 8 back and ordered an 8.5. Same issue, too small and too tight. Unfortunately, I had to return them as well. I was trying to avoid the sporting stores, but seems I'll have to go to find the correct size.

The running shoes are cute but they run small. I have a small foot and measure a 5-1/2 woman's shoe. I always buy a size 6. I have never in my life worn a size 6-1/2. I needed a bigger size in this sneaker. I am going to return them and perhaps order a different brand about which I feel sure of the sizing.
