Customer Reviews Brooks Glycerin 21

Need more padding. Nice and light but not as comfortable as Brooks shoes of past years.

Great shoe. I upgraded from the Ghost for more cushioning. Ive developed heel pain recently and Glycerin minimizes that pain nicely. The laces are better quality and stay tied without having to knot them. Color options are getting limited now on the 21s, since 22s are out, but the discounted price is a good trade off for that.

Ive been buying Brooks Glycerin for years after having them recommended after a fitting at a running store. They have been amazing for my flat feet, allowing me to walk for a long time with zero pain later. Unfortunately, this model iteration was disappointing. I know that their wide shoe has the same size base as the regular, but I really felt it in this model. I could feel the edge of the outside of the base on my feet which means my foot isnt going to get the overall support it needs. Sadly I had to return them. Im really really disappointed because I have truly loved every other model of Glycerin Ive had in the past. Now Im on the hunt for a new go-to wide width shoe thats supportive for flat feet. I gave 2 stars because the cushioning felt as stable and supportive as ever, and the upper part of the shoe felt comfortable on my feet.

Best running shoe Ive ever owned. Fantastic!

great cushioning fits great overall great shoe

Best sneakers I have worn!

They definitely helped with my peripheral neuropathy and my sciatica. My husband has a pair and they lessened the discomfort to his ankle.

I purchased a pair of 11.5 medium Glycerin 21s from a shoe store. This store only carries a limited number of colors and is unable to order anything other than what they normally carry. I purchased another pair of 11.5 medium Glycerin 21s directly from Brooks because the store doesn't carry the color I want and they were not the same size as the pair I had previously purchased. They were not as wide and were 1/8" shorter. I contacted Brooks customer support and was told that those shoes can be different sizes depending on where they are made (that makes no sense) and that model does not come in wide. I returned the 11.5s and purchased a pair of 12 mediums that were good in the length, but still too narrow. I returned those and got a pair of 12.5 mediums that were too long, but the width was good. My solution is to find another brand,

Lots of cushion. Comfortable for a cruising run.

Buy these shoes immediately.

If your feet are wide from barefoot years in the sand, this is the shoe for you!

Great shoe. Very comfortable!!

Love these shoes, love the color as well and I hope the next versions of the Glycerins come in the orange and black colors. Treadmill workouts and normal usage all are more enjoyable!

Podiatrist recommended these. Got them and the only negative thing is where the tongue is sown on its a thick area that makes wearing the shoe uncomfortable

Within a week the toe box was permanently damaged if you will. Like it bent and stayed bent from the top down so now my toes have the bottom of a dent from above rubbing on them and creating blisters. I tried to put the toe box back but it just has a memory of being indented now from the top

So far very nice shoes. I don't run, so they'll be used for walking.

Love the fit and feel. I only really like the all white ones, but to each their own.

350 miles in and still good bounce.

Most comfortable sneakers Ive ever owned are my two Brooks sneakers

Really like these. Better than On or Hoka. I'm 72 and run 40-50 miles/week

Perfect for the gym. Feels good and supportive.

Im not a dedicated runner but I made it my goal to walk more this summer. And you still need a good shoe for walking and I found the Glycerin 21 to be the perfect shoe for me. It feels like youre walking on pillows. My feet are truly happy now especially if youre dealing with plantar fasciitis and a high arch like myself.

The glycerin series are always the best running shoes I find! I get half a size up from my regular shoe size and it fits perfectly.

I loved my first pair of glycerin 21s. Walked all over New York City and feet felt great! Ordered another pair and didnt 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.

Completed my first marathon in these shoes! I needed some more cushion after running half marathons for years in Ghosts. These will now be my go-to shoe for runs over two hours as I rotate with Ghost for shorter runs.
