These shoes provide great fit and feel for my feet. The heel and arch support are far better than other brands. I wear these for everyday use but runners will appreciate the heel cushioning. Great fit for your feet.

I bought these shoes approximately 5 months ago. As my first pair of Brooks I have been incredibly disappointed. I actually had two separate pairs of these shoes within this time because in both pairs the toe box has started to collapse and fold in on itself when flexing. I originally thought my first pair was defective but the same issue has persisted with the second pair. For the price, its incredibly frustrating Ill have to replace these after such a short time.

The laces part of the shoe was not proportion to the size of my 9 1/2 cut off the circulation in my feet just putting them on for five minutes. Parents was terrible look like a Dollar General store five dollar tennis shoes not worth any amount of money.

Love the roomier toe box compared to the old model. The cushion is definitely softer than the old model, I like it better but it took a minute to get used to. My only concern is the plastic insert along the outer edge of the toe box creased and is pressing on my big toe? Definitely a dilemma for me might try the BL instead.

This is an excellent shoe. Much more comfortable than Glycerin 20. It provides an excellent ride with good support. Bottom line I am very happy with the 21.

I love the Glycerin 20. When the new 21 came out i didn't hesitate to order 2 pairs in different colors. That's complaint number 2 but were getting there. As soon as they arrived i went out for a walk. I'm not sure what changed with the sole, but my feet down by my toes started to hurt within a quarter mile. I thought maybe it was a fluke and went back home to try the other pair. Same results. 2nd complaint is that i'm a wide. This shoe was blue and thats is great. But please offer your premium shoes in more colors. You have amazing color patterns, if only my feet were narrow. For now, im looking for all the "black and white" wide 20's i can get until i find a new shoe.

I'm sorry to say, I'm not a runner. I bought these sneakers because I walk very swiftly about 12,500 to 17,000 steps per day. I had a lot of foot issues, ball and heal. This model is by far the most comfortable sneaker I have ever worn in my life. It's like walking on air. I have 2 pair of the Adrenaline line and they are great too. There is only one small issue that I don't like. The laces are slippery, so they don't stay tight. I have to re-tighten them a couple times per day. I think it's because they are new and it will fix itself over a period of time. I really love the color schemes you offer. I'm a Brooks customer for life.

The Glycerin series has always been my favorite from brooks. I owned 2 pairs of the Glycerin 20s and decided to try out the new ones. These are marginally better than the 20s, but an upgrade nonetheless. Im actually very glad that they didnt make any drastic changes because it was already a nearly perfect package. I pulled these shoes right out of the box and started a 16 mile run within 30 minutes of putting them on. During the run I kept thinking about how great these shoes are and after the run, my feet felt amazing. Will most definitely be buying more of these and if theres a sale I will likely buy multiple!! Thank you for the great shoes Brooks!

I bought these in early February. after 2 months of walking the soles are almost worn out. They did fit nice and comfortable for walking., but wear out way too quickly.

I have always loved Brooks and this shoes did not disappoint! I must say this is easily the best running shoes I owned. Yes, it is a bit expensive but it is all worth it. Absolute value for the money. It seems like I am running on a sponge when I am running with Glycerin 21. I look forward to many more running journey with this one! Great innovation by Brooks! THANK YOU

Excellent support yet light and extremely well cushioned. As an upper-midsole striker, the 21 is PERFECT. Feels like this shoe was custom made for me. Comfort, stability, and light weight - all in one.
