The sole is firm and stiff compared to the new balance which I find far more comfortable. For a 14 wide they are still a little snug in length and toe box is narrow. I was disappointed in the fit and feel especially for the price. They seem to be made well and have good styling.

Not happy with the feel and support. One year ago I transitioned from adrenaline gts to glycerin in advice from running store. First pair wore out quickly, so I reverted back to glycerin 20. Much better, but they are now out of stock! I plan to go back to adrenaline gts if I can figure out how to return. The wide toe box may be OK for some but not for me.

These shoes are amazing! Theyre super lightweight and perfect for semi-formal occasions.

Great shoe! No break-in period, good fit and support from the first time I put them on. I'm a senior so I don't run but I can walk in these all day, while in my other shoes, (Merrell), my feet are fatigued at the end of the day.

I loved my first pair of glycerin 21s. Walked all over New York City and feet felt great! Ordered another pair and didn't feel they were quite as comfortable for some reason. They seem to rub on the inside area of my heel! Perhaps this will get better as I walk in them. Overall, I think is a good shoe for me.

So far, so good. Only have about 30 miles indoors running. Fit feels good, so do strikes.

I think theyre a little too soft. I prefer the Ghost because it is firmer.

Great shoes as always! Very comfortable, makes my runs even better. This is probably the 10 pair of Brooks in a row that I have purchased. Will never buy another brand of running shoes again.

I love the glycerin 21! I'm not sure how they can make it any better! It's my favorite running shoe. Even so, BROOKS seems to make it better each year.

I'm a heel striker, so the higher drop is perfect for me. The shoe is incredibly comfortable and fits true to size. Lightweight, well-made, and looks great. I'm extremely pleased!

Good responsiveness and energy return. I really like the weight of this version much better than previous versions (lighter). Still a substantial shoe, but this provides me the stability and cushion I want. While it is cushioned, it doesnt feel musty. I compared it directly with the Ghost (my previous go-to shoe), and went with this Glycerin because it fit my foot much better.

There is something seriously wrong with the area of the laces/tongue that meets the toe box of these shoes. It feels like hard glue or plastic that is not flexible and quite painful. I loved my glycerin 20s but these are unbearable. Unfortunately I had to return these, but really wanted to love them.

Brooks really stepped up their game on cushioning with the Glycerin 21. I really enjoy running in them. Feet and Legs love them. Nice work!

I dont like the width of them across my toe. Much wider and not as tight as Mr Glycerub 20. Would return them except ive worn them 2 times.

Glycerin 21's are by far the best version of the cushioned neutral trainer in the Brooks line up. I've been running in them since they were first released with zero issues, I've used them for races as well and they performed excellently.

I incorporated running into my fitness regimen only upon retirement. Due diligence led me to Brooks. At 74, 5K runs are twice per week; Glycerin for street, Ghost for treadmill. Referring to Glycerin specifically, I find that the platform weakens prematurely, in advance of the soles. The price tag on Glycerin is excessive as a consequence.
