More for less? Who wouldnt love that trade off. The increased stack height and lower weight is a welcomed update.
The fit is plush and comfortable. Lets work on breath ability and this shoe may be the perfect cruiser.
Great job, Brooks!

Ive used brooks for the last 15 years at work they are the only shoe I buy now. I work in a hospital and on my feet a lot the brook cushion insole is all I trust. I used other shoe and got Planter fasciitis its just not worth trying another shoe for me..

These were for my boyfriend and he loves them! First we ordered his usual size 8 in all other shoes and he said they felt too tight in the toes. He tried them for one short treadmill run and they didnt work. He has never had to wear a wide. We ordered a half size up instead of trying the wide. They are perfect! He said they have a lot of cushion and hasnt had any aches or pains wearing them. Also thanks to Brooks and the amazing customer service we got to return for free and got free shipping on our new order. Fantastic return policy. We will be repeat customers.

I really wanted these to work. I ordered the GTS version of this shoe on Amazon but had to send them back because they are tight on the sides of my feet and toe box room seemed limited which is out of the norm for Brooks. The side rails were very uncomfortable. So I tried the regular Glycerine which was the same except that the cushion was not responsive and caused foot pain. This did not work for me but it does not mean that it wont work other people. I have the Adrenaline 23 GTS and love them but needed something for longer runs.

I returned these shoes and got a second pair of Ghost 16. It felt like the shoes were correcting how I naturally stepped

I was a Ghost only runner for several years but the 16 didnt work for me. I love the Glycerin 21. I did size up a half size over the Ghost and that made the fit perfect. Additional colors in wide sizes would be nice. I also wear these for work. Im on my feet in a hospital all day and they make a huge difference in how I feel after a long shift. As always, Brooks customer support is the best!

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.

Had them for about two weeks now. They look great although the main color is a little more toward the gray side then in the photo. Wide toe box and good support throughout. Size was was spot-on. No need to go up or down a half size.

I have two pair and am thinking of getting a 3rd. The cushioning, stability and ground feel are fantastic. They are soft enough without the deep sink in feeling I get from most max cushion shoes. Glycerins just keep getting better and better

Felt very cheap, and where the tongue met the shoe was stitched wrong and dug into my foot making them very uncomfortable. I expect more from a 160 dollar shoe. Sent them back and got the Ghost Max from my local shoe store for way less.
