I like the comfort of this running shoe. My only feedback is that it's a snug fit and runs small. I'm pleased with the feel overall ~

Love these shoes!!! I just started walking long distances daily and needed comfortable shoes. These fit the bill. Wide and with a lot of cushion. I love all of my Brooks shoes.

True to size fit, great cushioning but still offers support. Ive got serious foot problems after a traumatic accident and have been wearing Hokas for years, but needed something with a heal-toe drop. These are so good I already bought another pair

Very comfortable and easy to clean and maintain. This is my 6th pair of Glycerin's and the 21 is the best yet.

After trying so many different shoes and insoles, these shoes, as is, make walking so much easier. No pain like Im used to. Figured Id give them a try with the try-on period. Definitely my go to from now on. Worth the price.

these shoes are very comfortable... for the first hour or two. Then they're too hot and my feet feel too confined, maybe because they're not breathing? I bought these shoes because of pain between the balls of my right foot, on my PT's recommendation. I took a 5 mile walk with them on, and my feet hurt during the last 2 miles. I wear them to work because I'm on my feet quite a bit, and I can't wait to take them off at the end of the day. So, 3 starts for the first 1-2 hours.

Very slippery in our winter weather. I'll be looking to replace these with a pair that has more tread/grip. The lack of stability/confidence in short burst sprints during wet, winter conditions is to be noted.

I stand on my feet all day for my job as well as walking for exercise. I have suffer with plantar fasciitis for years and was recommended by my physical therapist to try this style shoe from Brooks. I started with the 20 model and now own a 21. They work well with my custom orthotics

Ive worn these for years and they are the most comfortable running shoe. I have wide feet so get the wide size. I tried the Glycerin Max but it was too much shoe for me. This seems like the perfect middle ground.

Fits too snug even when lacing up and has a tight toe box. Where the tongue is sewn in, it cut into both feet causing pain. Never had a shoe do that before. Cushioning was good, not as soft as others like Hoka or my previous New Balance. Not great as a walking shoe as it felt like the roll off from heel to toe was too drastic. Maybe a better runner, which I don't do unless it to a bacon buffet.

The Glycerin 21 is a comfortable, light weight show with extremely good cushioning and a very comfortable fit. I've been wearing Glycerines for several years for just these reasons. However, the styling and construction of the Glycerine has deteriorated over the past few Model generations. The '21 is reticulum plain in appearance, having lost all the styling details on the uppers the used to mark the style. Additionally, much previous versions, there is no protection over the tour area. The'21 had even less than previous generations and this means that the tire area of the uppers wear out really fast: it appears that Brooks is this designing in and increasingly short lifetime for the shoe in an attempt to force earlier replacement by users. Very disappointing.

This is my third pair of Brooks trainers and I absolutely love them. The Glycerin's are especially comfortable. It reminds me of walking over that spongy stuff they lay in kids playgrounds for safety. And that's what I felt wearing them. Hop, skip, jump, run or walk, they are comfortable and secure. Sadly, I guess they were paid the ultimate compliment because two weeks after I bought them someone stole them from outside my apartment door. So my advice to you all is to treat them like one of the family and really look after them. They are 'gold dust' trainers and I am sincerely mourning their loss. I will however, not hesitate to buy another pair.

I really liked the Glycerin 20 model of shoe. I ordered the Glycerin 21 and liked the cushion of the shoe, but they hurt the top of my feet. I have identified the irritant. Right in the area where the tongue of the shoe is sewn in, the end of the tongue is too thick and it rubs the instep of my foot while I walk. I would rather have the Glycerin 20 back. I cannot wear the Glycerin 21's.
