It's that wierd style of barely no cushioning in the front and to much in the back. I believe the industry has already moved away from these models, and now I know why. Also, when they say wide, they only mean the upper, so your foot hangs over the sole, pretty dumb; a wide foot is a wide foot, give it real support!

I was very surprised by these. I was a former adrenaline junkie, but as I became a more experienced runner I switched away from brooks as they are very basic shoes that aren’t as exciting as what’s out there. After a recent injury and just overall slower runs, I found myself coming back this time trying the glycerin. These are definitely a softer shoe than brooks normal, and have a little bounce. I took a 3 miler with them and was very pleased. Will be a good option for days when I just need something comfortable and will do the job.

I’ve worn Brooks for years.
For a while they weren’t as comfortable, this pair are great.

Until now, I have worn narrows but have not been able to find any. So, I got medium, which, in this case, was narrower than expected but fits fine.
I'd also recommend:
Topo and Saucony.

These were so cute. Sadly, I had to return them because the way the tongue is stitched onto the body is thick and rough and easily felt through the sock on the top of my foot. I'm usually very tolerant of things like this, but couldn't look past it with this shoe.

First off, not a runner due to back injuries. Second, I bought these mostly to exercise in. That means biking, treadmill, and gym. Perfect fit, laterally stable, great cushioning, and I love the color scheme and design.

I've gotten in about 10 outside runs (3-6 miles) now. Good fit and feel. I am more of a stability and support guys versus super cushioning. It's been my new go-to pair.

Excellent perfect shoes! They have plenty of space for the front of the foot to expand, as mine has. And good support and nice fit around the instep and heel. Best shoes so far!

The shoe is fantastic, comfortable and amazing to walk and be well all day long. I bought them for trip overseas, and we will be wearing them a lot soon. I always buy 1 size up and wide for extra comfort.

This is my third pair of Glycerin 21s. Obviously I am really happy with them. I value good cushioning and they have it. They seem to hold up well replacing at 400 miles. Size is true and the wider toe box is ideal for me.

Previously ran with Ghost, tried out Glycerin due to sale. Good cushion and spacing in toe box area. Laces stay tied. Have been satisfied with both models.
