Bought these shoes and immediately took them to Disney world. I was nervous my feet would be hurting but that was not the case at all!

LOVE this shoe. I've had glycerin in the past and liked but this shoe...Oh. My. Goodness. So light and comfortable. I've put in many more miles since purchasing. Highly recommend.

This is the 12th pair of Glycerin's that I've owned, and it is my exclusive shoe. I love it, and the improvements made each year continue to make it the best shoe on the market.

The shoe fits great and is very comfortable to wear all day. I wish there were more 2E width color selections. I've been wearing Glycerin shoes for several years now and they are always my #1 choice when looking at a new shoe.

I agree with many other reviewers (and feet) that the uppers on these are a problem, whereas the previous Glycerin 20 were far better. I found that the mesh material on the 21 had little flexibility. Most importantly, have a feel inside the shoe right where the tongue is stitched on, near the toes. That threading is incredibly tight and exposed, rubbing against the foot on the metatarsals. I had so much pain due to that design, I returned them and got another pair of 20s. Brooks responded that there is a little piece of foam there. Again, just press there to get a sense what your foot can also experience - said foam is underdesigned, coupled with tight mesh. Other brands' daily trainers in this category have much more flexible uppers, though I love the Brooks Glycerin foam so much. I wish they could solve this upper. At the moment, the 21 is not an option for me.

The 20s are my favorite shoes. The 21s are way too narrow so I didnt purchase. Same size on both. 12 EE. Whyyyyyy would you make the shoe more narrow???????

My first pair of Brooks shoes and I'm loving them! I feel no aches or pains after my regular run, which was an issue with previous pair.

A very nice, lightweight shoe. They does seem to run small. My 8.5's are really tight and I hope I can get them stretched out a bit. I am hoping for a good outcome. DT

So far, so good. Glad they're back to the older version, because the 20 was not very durable. I like the look and feel. Well done, but I want to see what happens in few months.

Why brooks? Why? Why Ecru/Orange/Black is only available in Glycerin 21? Can you please make it in GLYCERINE GTS 21 Wide shoes? Please. Please.

Noticeably more narrow than the Glycerin 20. The soles are still comfortable, but the sides are much tighter.

Really like the shoe for its wide toe box and arch support. I have tendinitis in my foot which really causes me a great deal of pain. I wear this shoe with the support of my orthotics now my foot doesnt bother me. My feet changed during pregnancy and never returned to my pre pregnancy status. So as mentioned the wide toe box gives me the necessary width to support the widening of my feet.
