I have been wearing glycerin for years!! I am so unhappy with the current changes. Not a big deal but they do run a hlaf size smaller. The back of the shoe curves up and rubs on my ankle now so i am getting blisters. but the kicker is, i purposely didn't get the gts because i need the cushion. NO CUSHION!!! !t feels like my old shoes when its time for new shoes!! Its end of life from the beginning!!! ! called and the acknowledeged the changes and was told to try ghost. That is their only solution... if i would have known they were gonna make all these changes, i would have bought a couple of pairs of the 18!!!

I definitely prefer the fit of the Ghost 14 over Glycerin for comfort alone.

I?ve been a Brooks runner for years! I?ve switched up styles - but have always worn Brooks. Until now. I purchased these and knew instantly that they were not going to work. The toe box seems much tighter than my previous Glycerins and overall the fit was narrower and shorter. I hate it when they change a good thing. Unfortunately I returned these.

Sorely disappointed in this one. Much narrower and not as cushiony. On the plus side, they fit the heel better than the 18s did. Need to bring back the wider toe box from pre-18s.

I am not a runner but wanted "the most comfortable" walking shoe. Unfortunately this is not it. I have worn brooks for years but this model is not a wear all day type of shoe. Maybe I ordered the wrong size, but my toe is right at the end and I specifically ordered a wide and I can still barely tie the laces because the shoe is very tight on my foot. I noticed others mentioned the heal rub and I too have this problem. Blisters the first day. I now have worn them for over 2 weeks hoping to stretch and break these in but it hasn't changed. Should I have gotten something larger?

I?ve been wearing brooks glycerin for over 10 years due to foot/hip issues. I still love them but will have to start ordering even larger sizes. This is the second time I ordered 8.5 (I wear a 7.5 shoe) and my toe hits the front. I will now have to remember to order a 9. So wish they were consistent.

Glycerin 19 womens Overall shoe fit great. cushioning felt good. Looked forward wearing them... BUT the toe box ended up being too small. After wearing for 2 days, the nerves on bridge of foot near area where laces start inflamed - too tight. cannot use. disappointed .

I liked the look of the shoe but I ordered this in a wide and it did not feel like a wide. I had to return the shoe.

Not as great as previous models. Not near the support and cushioning.

I was a big Brooks fan but the shoes have become to narrow in the toe box area. Miss my 18s!

Too narrow in the toe box, I liked the cushioning, but with the lack of room in the toe area the show was uncomfortable. Would be really nice if the toe box was as wide like the Adrenaline GTS 22 with all that nice cushioning. I returned the shoe . (I bought the D width)

I have previously purchased Brooks Ghost. Upgraded to glycerin and they are not as expected. The right heel rubs( yes I’ve tried different socks) hard to get on even with laces opened up. After 3 mile walk, can’t wait to get them off??

I usually love Brooks Running shoes - they are the only brand that gives me the width I need in a running shoe. I was very disappointed in these shoes, the arch support is not up to the normal level of my previous Brooks sneakers. A little disappointed in this shoe, especially for the price.

I must say I am very disappointed in the 19! I walk/run on dirt road and end up with a pile of sand in my shoes after a few minutes. I have had 6 pairs of glycerins and never had this issue before. Great cushion but won?t buy next time if vent holes aren?t smaller?

I typically wear a 8.5, regular width. I could barely get these on my feet. On my feet with socks was definitely not an option. I ordered a wide as a replacement and that fit just like the regular width. Trying a size up next but if those don’t fit, I give up! Definitely seem like they run small and narrow.

I've been wearing Glycerins for years. I've probably owned 10 pair or more. This version is terrible. I wear a size 9 shoe but size up to a 10 for running shoes. This pair of Glycerin 19s are way too short - and I've always worn a 10 in them. In addition to that, they rub blisters on my heels/back of ankles. I am a die-hard Glycerin fan and they have always been my favorite running shoe but this version has almost broke me. I'll try the 20s when they come out but I hope they model them after the previous Glycerins.

Not impressed, the foam feels like cheaper quality and has rubbed off on the side. It lost its cushion fast over time and my feet cramp up. Normally I wear brooks shoes for my marathon and I swear by them but since I had been injured and mostly used these shoes this time for walking and small runs and they did not hold up like they use too.

This is the third pair of this brand and model I have purchased. Unfortunately these running shoes have been changed. I always go up half a size from my regular shoe size which I did in this case.When I first wore them they were fine but after several hours of wearing they seemed to be smaller than normal particularly around the toe area.I wish I could return but too many months have passed. Money wasted! Nowhere in the shoe description was it stated that these shoes run small. Deceptive description. If purchased go up a whole size!

The fit is correct, but the material lining the heel is so slippery my heels slip too much when walking regardless of how I tie the shoes

I buy the glycerin for the cushion, and these just don't have it. Feels very stiff and more like the ghost. Not a good year.

I have flat feet, and I get pain in my arches and ankles. These felt amazing on my feet, until they started rubbing the back of my ankle raw? I tried so hard to break them in, tried different socks, messed with it etc... Finally I found this to be a common issue with this shoe and switched it out for the Ghost 14. Please fix this issue!
