Customer Reviews Brooks Glycerin 21

Upper toe material defect. The upper portion where your big toe fits in the shoe formed a wedge and digs into my L&R Big toe. Feels like a stick or shoe string is poking my toe when I run and walk. The Glycerin 20 was better, should have just put the new sole on that shoe.

Snug fit but comfortable with good cushioning

It is everything I want in running shoe! I have some back issues and it provides the cushioning I desire.

I love the extra cushion, and comfort on these. I was previously rocking some generic asics and was getting shin pain.

This shoe fits well and the cushion is soft but not spongy like some other brands. However, the outsole doesnt wrap the heel like many shoes. The edge of the outsole is under your heel. For heel strikers like me, this causes the outsole to wear incredibly fast. After only about 200 miles the rubber is worn away and Im striking on the foam midsole. Thats not acceptable from a $160 shoe.

The sole is a little bit squishy for me. I like a little more stability. I prefer the Adrenaline series

I had the stealth version of these shoes 6-8 months ago and before I knew it I had to retire them after 400 miles! I kept reaching them over and over so I had to get another pair! Love these shoes for daily and long runs, occasionally intervals. I have flat feet but feel supported with mid foot strikes, and though they fit true to size you may want to consider half size up. Theyre quite cushy and serve as recovery run shoes. I love the blue color way!

Purchased for son and he LOVES them!

These were my new favorite shoes for about 3 weeks and then the toe box developed creases which started to rub against my big toe. It became very painful to wear these shortly after the crease developed. I had 2 pairs in different colors and they both formed the same creases. I contacted Brooks and they suggested trying a different size. They exchanged them for me at no cost to myself. After wearing the new shoes for a couple of hours, the creases started to form and rub against the inside of my big toe again. This portion of the toe box needs to be better reinforced, so creases do not form in this location. This model shoe is the only one i have ever had this happen with. Hopefully Brooks is able to fix this otherwise perfect shoe.

Always a comfortable fit when I am wearing them.

Love the color way. I got the brown and cream colored and they are unique and different and comfortable. Great call going out of the main stream colors and doing something different.

Bought as a gift to a fellow coach who only tried Hokas and loved these because he felt closer to the ground and felt like a smoother ride.

Overall, great show. Comfort is off the charts and cosmetically it is understated but very nice. Would have been a 5 star rating but for a couple of things... For the premium price, I would have expected a higher quality ortholite sockliner. Also, a little less of what feels like memory foam in the collar would improve the overall fit. At first I thought the shoes run too small and almost returned them for a larger size but once the collar compressed the fit was fine. It was just frustrating to have to retighten the shoes a second time to get the proper fit. Small issues But those are the only things from making it perfect. Still love the performance and comfort.

Great shoes. I like these a lot. Only ran twice but they seemed comparable to Hokas that Ive been wearing the past few years.

Had a pair of Glycerin 20, loved them, so I got a pair of 21's. Great shoes. Two things I wish you offered; a slip-in version, and all solid black. I got black but the logo is white. A lot of people wear black shoes as part of a uniform or for fashion, so all black would work better for that.

Very comfortable. I have flat feet and plantar fascia. These shoes are top 3 all time for me.

Love these shoes, the thicker sole is like walking on clouds. If youre on your feet all day theyre a must have!

Very comfortable. Great looking. Good support. Outsole quality lacking. After 3 months of regular use, the grip on the bottom is almost completely worn down. Other than that- would be 5/5

These are really good, yet expensive, shoes. Comfortable.

The toe box of this shoe has started to "cave in" after only a few weeks use. I had ordered another pair of Glycerins and immediately returned them due to this same issue. The shoe is comfortable, but the top of the shoe is now pushing down on my toes.

Love these shoes. Soft yet supportive. My favorite go to for runs.

Cushier than my previous Glycerins. I usually install my own gel insole. Didn't need it for this model.

Like them so far Good support .

Love these shoes! They have made all the difference in my regular walks. I feel measurably less fatigued and no joint discomfort. Definitely game changers! Will be buying a couple more pair of Glycerins ASAP. I also have Adrenaline GTS which I like fine, but the Glycerins are like walking on clouds! Be careful- you may get spoiled. :)

Perfect fit and comfortable. I love the limited edition and the quality of the shoes.
