Customer Reviews Brooks Glycerin 21

Too soft. Lateral support is minimal.

Love the fit, look, and cushioning!

Great shoe with good durability - these are my second pair of the exact same ones and is due to comfort, support and durability

Great feeling shoes. Lots of cushion but still feel stable. Price was good too. I now have two pairs I will rotate.

I bought my first pair of Brooks (as a teacher it wasnt an easy choice as they are not cheap). I would only be using the shoes to coach volleyball 3 days a week 2 hours at a time. After my 3rd time wearing them they started falling apart. The base of the shoes was wearing down and pieces of my shoe was routinely found on the volleyball court. I contact Brooks support and explained the situation and they sent me a replacement pair. Unfortunately, after only the 2nd use of the replacement pair they started to fall apart as well but even worse then the first pair. The inside of the 2nd shoe is now bent down into my big toe. I am very disappointed! Not to mention these shoes are not cheap! The fit, style, and comfort is all great but the overall factor the shoe comes off as VERY cheaply made! Sorry Brooks! You dropped the ball on this!

I am not running anymore. I'm 74 years old and walk regularly long distances. About 10 years ago, I shopped for running shoes while I was still running - tried on every brand and model of running shoes in a store named "Elite Feet", in Edmond, Oklahoma. The Brooks' Glycerin shoes suited me far better than any of the others. They still do. Before ordering my Glycerin shoes directly from Brooks, I called the Edmond store, Elite Feet, and the phone number was no longer working. That resulted in my online purchase.

Super tight on the sides/narrow, created friction spots on foot. Lots of cushion. Might be a good fit for some just didnt work out for me and will have to return.

This my second pair in this series. Great heal cushioning and the tongue is thick enough for maximum comfort of those with a high instep.

I love Brooks Adrenaline shoes -- have owned about 12 pair in the past few years. I thought I would roll the dice on Glycerin, so ordered them without trying them on first. Unfortunately, the design of this shoe place pressure on the top of the big toe. This is unrelated to how tightly the show is laced...it's a design issue with the material that goes over the top of the toe. They are very uncomfortable to wear.

True fit. Good for those training miles!

Brooks have been my goto brand for last 18 months. Love the Glycerin, Ghost and Adrenaline. Have 16 pairs. Gonna try the Beast next !

Great shoe but it would be exceptional if you increased the padding on the insole, the current one is much too thin and is not as comfortable as it could be. PS I "added" extra padding on the insole and it is MUCH more comfortable...

Hurt my feet and knees and caused aching in my lower legs. Returned both pairs.

This is the most comfortable shoe Ive ever worn in my life. I didnt even know feet could feel as good as they do in these shoes. They might not be as good for running as some of Brooks other shoes but as a guy who runs more for health and comfort than performance - these are the best shoes on the planet. Possibly the solar system.

Great shoe but got 2 holes in them after 6 months of wearing them

Great shoe, Im not a runner but I am on my feet all day and the cushioning is awesome. I have a couple of pairs.

Having a narrow foot, Ive had trouble finding any shoes that fit my feet. These shoes surprisingly fit well, theyre now my go to shoe

I was initially going to return these shoes as they were not very cushioned as described after about 5-10 miles in them they softened up quite a bit and are now pretty comfy to wear. In this day and age I was expecting cloud like comfort out of the box which these do not provide but do soften up quite a bit after "break in". My wife and I go on daily 3+ mile walks so comfort is very important. I do think these will wear a lot better than some other brands I have been using.

I have bad PF in both my feet as well as chronic pain in both my ankles and these shoes are a God-send. You nailed it Brooks! Thank you!

I'm a dog walker, who puts in in excess of 5 miles a day, every day. Brooks Glycerins keep my feet comfortable all day. The Glycerin 20 was a wonderful shoe for fit and comfort for me. The Glycerin 21 has a redesigned toe box that so far (after 2 weeks) is less comfortable for my feet. The extra padding in the sole is helpful, but I hope they go back to the old toe box shape. These are a little shorter in the same size designation. On an aesthetic note, the color selection is rather odd for the 21's.

The most comfortable shoes I have ever used. They are like a massage when you are running, especially for adults over 50's. For my daily four mile runs, I feel zero pain on my legs or feet after I finish. You feel like gliding over the road. Awesome shoes!

I've always worn ghost. This is my first pair of the Glycerin series. They are really comfortable as far as padding but feel a bit wide. I only work in them, no running. My complaint is the medial toe box collapses with forward pressure on the shoe during gait

Great shoe but it would be exceptional if you increased the padding on the insole, the current one is much too thin and is not as comfortable as it could be. PS I "added" extra padding on the insole and it is MUCH more comfortable...

I would give zero stars if possible. Ive been wearing Brooks for years and the recent changes have ruined the shoe. The nitro infused sole (glycerin 20 & 21) has ruined the shoe. It causes severe pain in the ball of foot. Ive purchased several pairs thinking it was just an off pair but they all cause the pain. The shoe also feels more narrow than previous shoes. Time for a new brand.

A little soft for my taste
