These are my favorite running shoes. They are light, breathable, and have wonderfully comfortable soles. These have extra padding in the ball of the foot compared to most of the other Brooks models, which I particularly appreciate after having surgery on the ball of one foot.

BEST sneakers I've ever worn!! I have issues w my left foot and I stand on my feet for many hours when working, it's been difficult to find a comfortable shoe. These sneakers make me feel like I'm on a cloud!! For hours!! After working I have no problems taking the dogs out for their long walk/run.

I've been wearing Brooks Glycerin for several years and have always been happy with them. They fit well, are comfortable to walk in, accommodate my orthotics, and last a reasonable length of time. I use them for speed walking as well as regular activities.
I'd also recommend:
Maybe Hoka but I haven't owned any.

If I wasn't suffering from Arthrits and Plantar Fascittis,thes shoes would have been great. On my best foot, they felt pretty good . I have somewhat narrow and although these were Medium width, they were the right for me. Based on my experience, I thought these were good shoes. Too bad they hurt my hopeless feet!

These are my walking shoes. I try to get in 10,000 steps/day or more. These are very light in weight & on foot. Soft & spongy underfoot leaving no sole pressure points causing pain.
I have a narrower foot. Flat instep. These are a perfect wrap. I only purchase Brooks Glycerin for a sure fit!

I supinate and have high arches; it is hard for me to find shoes that work for these problems. I could feel the difference when I put them on! So excited my legs and knees do not hurt after wearing them.
Can't say enough about the awesome way they fit!

This is my second pair of Brooks Glycerin's - they provide the best foot support and comfort for me. For a comparison, put a Glycerin on one of your feet and a different brand or style on your other foot - then you will know what is best for you. In my case I had On's on one foot and Glycerin on the other. I immediately knew Glycerin is what I should get. I'm planning to walk 500 miles in 8 weeks and these will be my trusty shoes to help me attain this goal!

I got the Christmas ones and my first pair of glycerin!! I LOVE them. I look down to make sure I have shoes on because I forget I have them on. I'm a nurse and I work 10 hours a day at an urgent care. I do not have tired achy feet!!!

I've always struggled with running shoes having exceptionally wide feet, high arches and skinny ankles. These are the first shoes I found that are roomy enough for the wide parts of my feet without feeling like im going to step out of them because of my skinny ankles. They are super comfy and provide good cushion. I haven't run more than 10 miles yet, but excited to see how they do for my marathon.

Great support but still soft a cushioned enough to relive my feet of some fatigue. Best shoes I've owned

I've been having heel pain from plantar fasciitis and these new shoes are awesome! I have worn the Ghost for years and my aging feet needed more support. I run on road and trail and Glycerin provides support to my ankle plus much needed cushioning. I wear a 9 in Brooks shoes and this fit as expected. I really appreciate the Brooks 'Run Happy' promise - bought this and the Caldera 6 Trail Shoe, which unfortunately didn't work well for me and had to send back after a few runs. Thank you Brooks for such a generous return policy. My feet are grateful!

I have wide almost flat feet with very little padding or cushion (meat) in my soles & vascular disease so my feet tend to swell & hurt even just walking barefoot. These are the most comfortable sneakers I have found in 5-6 years! Toe box is nice & wide, no arch where there shouldn't be one (lol) & very little arch if that & cushiony soles make these very comfy to me.

These are my favorite shoes for waitressing! They're beyond comfortable and they are so light and breathable.. I'm sure they're excellent running abd walking shoes, but I'm going to be getting these from now on for work. I usually get a 9.5 in Skechers and Nikes but got the 10 in brooks after doing some research and they fit perfectly, so comfy and they look great!

They are super comfortable right out of the box, no breaking in needed! I bought the wide women's and they are soft and lightweight but give plenty of support. I would highly recommend!

Love them. I am not a runner but have back and knee issues. These shoes are comfy and provide the support I need. Also love the heel padding.

we sized up 1/2 size to have more room for thicker socks. They are fantastic right out of the box, and worth the money! Walked 18,000 steps every day on vacation and not one ache or pain!

I've been running in Brooks since high school track & field (over 20 years!) I love them! They feel good from the start and never need breaking in. Just bought my second pair of Glycerin and will probably continue to purchase this style as long as they keep making them.

The shoe was instantly comfortable and supportive! I had been struggling to find the right shoe and running was becoming uncomfortable. This show immediately took me back to runs that not only didn't hurt, but felt good!

Love the 8W. Brooks already has a wide toe box, but the W is even wider. LOVE it. Need it.

I purchased the Glycerin 20, looking for something a bit more cushioned that the Ghost. I haven't been disappointed. I have slight underpronation and am on my feet anywhere from 8-12 hours, 5 days a week. These have made my plantars fasciitis bearable. I will definitely buy these again when my current pair need replacement.
