I loved the color way I ordered, white, orange and black. It is a very well built shoe, great attention to detail. Beautiful white with black accent laces. Very comfortable, cushy ride. It is a bit tighter in the forefoot than 2 pair of Glycerin 20's that I own. That is the only small complaint I have. It may be the most good looking shoe I have, and I am a true shoe nut.

After five pairs of the 20 this feels pretty similar. Seems a little tighter in the toe box. Strings were two different lengths which was really aggravating.

As a daily 30 minute morning runner before work I tried these out from brooks for the first time. The sole are very good and providing cushioning and has a nice spring back as you come off your landing to enhance your run. Definitely enjoying Brooks as a brand and will be back for more. Great indoor track running shoe.

I had the previous version of the Glycerin 20 and really liked them. This newer version is even more comfortable. I use them for walking and everyday errands. I would highly recommend.

Ive had several Brooks shoes, gone to others and have coco me back. Never many choices, though, in wide sizes. Would be nice to have more of a selection.

Glycerin21 is not my first Brooks shoe as I have worn Brooks for several years.most recently GTS and GTS21. This shoe seems squishy and not as balancing. I think this may be Brooks attempt to compete with HOKA and OC.

The last pair of Brooks shoes I purchased was a Glycerin 20, size 10 med. width. It took 3 tries to get a pair of the Glycerin 21 to achieve the same fit which is 10.5, wide. Something's changed. Don't believe it's my foot size. That said, nice pair of shoes.

This is an amazing shoe & most comfortable shoe Ive ever had. Ive been wearing the Hoka Clifton for years and have been looking for a new shoe. I tried many different shoe brands but couldnt find anything similar that I liked. This is better than I expected Ive put over 100 miles this month and they are just getting better as I break them in. Perfect amount of cushion but still firm and responsive.

Like walking on clouds. Bought this for a week long Europe trip with my son where we were doing 1,800 to 2,800 steps a day. Feet, knees, etc. felt great all week thanks to these!

I had better success with the previous version of 21. This new version of 21 was not as roomy for a 2E. Not as much overall support for me. Kinda disappointed but still a loyal Brooks customer.

I tried this out. I thought that they would be a good companion for my runs however they were horrible. They made my knees and hips hurt. I sent them back. Lesson learned Ill stick with my adrenaline and GTS.

Very stable and comfortable. Used for walking on concrete floors while working. The shoes eliminate the leg and back fatigue.

I appreciate the super heel cushion having suffered plantar fasciitis for many years. Also the wider footbed to give my toes room. The fit is perfect.

I've been running in brooks for many years at this point, and this(and the glycerin line as a whole) Is something I keep coming back to. I had a pair of glycerin 20s about a year ago and loved them but I wanted something lighter so I switched to Ghost 15s. After a season of indoor track on those, I went right back and bought the Glycerin 21s. I am now on my third pair and I love them. Just enough cushion to be comfortable but light enough for speed work. I'm just gonna keep coming back.

I was hopeful because the soles felt softer and cushy like they used to be I was super excited, however the toe box is not wide enough and my toes start hurting. The top of my big toe nail and my pinky. I tried two different sizes and now have to return both. Super disappointed. I want to love brooks again!
