Customer Reviews Brooks Glycerin 21

Super comfortable with increased cushioning vs Glycerin 20

Definitely the softest shoe I own it is great for being on your feet all day

Absolutely love my new 21's! Brooks did it again! They feel great! Keep up the great work!

The most comfortable Glycerin yet. I have many foot problems in these shoes are about the best I can find.

Just came across these today during a custom fitting. Ive had them on my feet for 5 hours now and just needed to let someone know. Theyre amazing so far. The cushion is the most supportive yet comfortable and the toe box is just the right size for my feet. I have an extremely high arch and these offer the perfect distribution of support and weight.

This is my sixth pair of glycerins and Im sure it wont be my last. I run between 50 and 70 miles per week on pavement and this is my go-to trainer. I am currently battling plantar fasciitis and these have the perfect amount of cushioning where I need it. My heel locks in well, and the toe box is just right. Its definitely not a racing shoe because of the weight, but I can get 400 miles out of a pair, easily.

Outstanding! Roomy toe box, comfortable ride!!!

cloth vs nylon shoe strings? is there a reason: notes; road and hard surface shoes are not always universally the best choice: I purchase new Brooks; with a aggressive thread for trails:

LOVE THEM. Ive been running in Brooks for years but these are by far my favorite. Truly feel like Im running on clouds. I considered HOKAs but once I tried these, Brooks kept hold of my heart.

Its one of the best cushioned shoes for my bad feet. I have flat, narrow feet. My only complaint or suggestion is, I wouldve liked to have seen New Balance make this shoe in a B or C width other than that, its a great shoe.

Brooks does it again. I shouldnt have doubted em I had the 20s loved em. Needed a new pair of shoes for long runs. Went out n tried the Nike invincible runs, instant regret! I went right back to the store and got the glycerin 21s.

Fun to run in plenty of cushion. Wanted to give 5 stars but the laces are junk. Change the laces or send me a decent pair and I will change to 5 stars.

Was looking forward to these. I used the version 19 and it has held up quite well. Fit, everything was perfect. I was excited about upgrading. Preordered these. Within first 5 minutes, experienced numbness with right foot. Kept readjusting lacing to loosen it, didn't help. Even with a wide, it felt snug. Started feeling the seam in the right shoe. Felt like a pebble stuck in the shoe. Tongue of the shoe also did not stay in place. This was quite annoying. I am not sure what they did with the 21, but the 19 was way better. Unfortunate. Now will have to check out another brand.

Ive worn several models of Ghost and older versions of Glyverin, but the Glycerin 21 is the best yet. Very comfortable and supportive!

I hate these shoes! While I have had other Brooks shoes in the past that were good shoes, because of the price, I feel obligated to wear them until they wear out. The problem is the back of the shoe. I cannot put these shoes on without using a shoe horn. If I do, the back collapses and it is difficult to straighten it out again. The backs of these shoes also rub on my heels even after I have struggled to pull the bent up back up to where it should be. I did have these shoes professionally fit to me when I bought them so don't know why this is such an issue.

I have worn Asics for the last 40 years. Primarily Kayano and Kinsei. Recently switched to Brooks. In terms of cushioning and stability the Glycerin is far superior to any Asics shoe I have worn. The Asics heel counter and truss system gives the Asics the appearance of a superior shoe however the Asics just cant match the comfort of Brooks. I wear custom orthotics and the Brooks pairs quite well with an EVA based device. I am also now recommending Brooks to all my (podiatry) patients

Love these training shoes, true to size and makes my feet happy, happy feet happy runs

I've been having knee issues, but my runs have been pain-free. Super cushy yet light weight compared to previous models.

Great shoes. My fifth pair of Glycerins. In my 70s and like the extra cushion for the old joints.

Best Glycerin they've made! I loved these shoes the minute I put them on and could immediately tell a difference from the previous model. My feet usually fatigue after a bit of activity but these kept me feeling good all day. Scooping up a few colors when they get released.

I said I would never like a shoe more than the Ghost 14. I stand corrected. Touch Brooks. Well done.

Great shoe very supportive looks fantastic.

Great cushion & ride. I'm an underpronator & wear the outsole faster than most people. Not sure if they'll last as long as the Adrenaline's but more comfortable.

haven't put all that many miles in but it feels solid so far - doesn't slip too much over the 10k distance and would be willing to try 10+ miles with these

They fit a little snug but I do typical have a wider foot. I would have been better off with a wide width. Problem I had was they pinched the top of my foot. There is plenty of cushioning which I thought I would like but it makes it feel uneven. Would be a good standing all day shoe with the cushioning. They make a squishy sound when you walk. Overall the shoe is made well, I just dont think its made for my foot. I have the Brooks Adrenaline GTS and that is the most comfortable shoe I have ever worn.
