The throat line of the shoe has a tough glue underneath. It wasn't uncomfortable but painful to the point it affected me for several days after. I reached out to Brooks and they shipped me a new pair but it won't arrive until a week later which was disappointing. I wish they would have done two-day shipping at the least.
I also want to say that this shoe does not fit tight so it is not a matter of sizing up.

They are ok. Does have cushion. Standing all day in these shoes are ok. Looking for more support and/or cushioning.

The shoes are extremely comfortable and light. If you like a cushioned feel with your running shoes then this is the way to go.

If you have a tendency to supinate when you walk, these shoes will try to roll on you and hurt your ankles.
My biggest grievance with the shoe is at the front of the tongue, the shoe is simply too low and hurts the top of my foot. Shoe length is right, but the shoe overall is way too tight all around my foot.

These shoes started out great. The cushion and bounce from the sole material was fantastic. Unfortunately within the first 2 months, around 200 miles, they became painful to run in and unwearable. The foam material around the balls of my feet wore down rapidly, and now theres barely any support. Its a similar feel to when styrofoam gets compressed and becomes spongy / non responsive. The fabric became pretty loose / stretched out and I have a lot of slippage despite over tightening the laces.
Overall a decent shoe for very light jogging and walking, but in my experience, not made for heavier mileage. Disappointed for the price.

After 6 weeks of patient, careful break-in, Im very frustrated and disappointed that I have pain in my arches and the outside of my feet. I have G 20s that are good. The G 21s, exact same size, hurt.

This is a very cushioned, and comfortable shoe. I would have given it an additional star, but I miss the heel tab.

Purchased 020 - Black/Black/Ebony Mens Size 9.5 Width medium.
The positive: good amount of cushion. The negative: Color says black, but the color is clearly grey. Brooks swoosh logo has a leopard print look to it. I dont know any men who like leopard print. Toe box is ridiculously too wide. Looks like those floppy shoes on a clown. I had high hopes for this shoe. Last shoe I really liked was Ghost 14 GTX in Black. Ghost 15 tread wore down quickly and cushioning didnt last long.

I needed to determine my proper size and width so I bought two different widths. And walked around my carpeted living room floor; So I could determine which pair fit the best.
I was unable to keep the pair that fit amazingly well and return the pair that didnt without any hassles.
I love that pair so much I bought a second pair. Brooks sneakers make my feet feel like Im walking on a Comfortable Cloud!!!

The Glycerins have been a welcome switch from years of running with Nike. I was suffering from horrible tendinitis in my left ankle and couldnt resolve it. Until I started wearing the Glycerins. Now Im pain feee and have much more strength in my calf muscle too.
The comfort and fit is perfect. The impact on road coincides well with my stride and isnt too hard or too soft.

I love Brooks shoes...that's all I wear!!! The 20, with larger toe/room was a wonderful addition. I don't know any other shoe that is more comfortable. The 21 might take some getting use to as the bottom has bee completely reconfigured. Hopefully, I will not feel any significant pressure points. I'm breaking them in slowly. The bottoms on the 20 and before were perfect without any pressure points!! Please keep the larger toe box and the extra width size!

This is a fantastic shoe. I bought this for everyday use and walking for my aging feet that need a bit more cushion and comfort. The cushioning is superb as it feels like you're walking on a cloud! They want to make me wear them every day, and take more walks or longer walks because they feel so good. I just wanted a new pair of walking shoes and wasn't expecting anything too amazing. So I was so pleasantly surprised how good these shoes are, that I bought one more pair as a spare in a different color scheme in case they don't make them like this for much longer.

I love the Glycerin. This is my second pair. I was excited to see them available in "red" grenadine and salsa, to be precise. My ONLY complaint with these shoes is that the "red" grenadine and salsa has more orange in it than the pictures are able to convey. So much so that when I wear my red shorts or red shirts with these shoes, they don't look red, but closer to a neon orange. We don't do orange here. Go DAWGS!!
