I have major ankle pain from an old military injury. These are the only shoes that allow me to run almost pain free. Absolutely love them. This is my third pair.

As usual with Brooks, these shoes are a great fit. Brooks are the best shoe for pavement walking as the soles last 2-3 times longer than others. Great color and fit. I am female, but buying the men's shoes as the color selection is better. Hey Brooks, how about some better colors in women's models?

True to size fit, great cushioning but still offers support. I've got serious foot problems after a traumatic accident and have been wearing Hokas for years, but needed something with a heal-toe drop. These are so good I already bought another pair

After trying so many different shoes and insoles, these shoes, as is, make walking so much easier. No pain like I'm used to. Figured I'd give them a try with the try-on period. Definitely my go to from now on. Worth the price.

I wasn't sure about them until I put them on my feet. They have quickly become my favorite shoes and I look forward to putting them on every day before my run. They seem to make me feel lighter on my feet and eliminate much of the stress on my knees and hips that I experienced while running. I'm now down 20bs in just 6 weeks and just purchased a second pair. I can't recommend enough. Looking forward to wearing the glycerin model for years to come.

I like the comfort of this running shoe. My only feedback is that it's a snug fit and runs small. I'm pleased with the feel overall ~

I've worn these for years and they are the most comfortable running shoe. I have wide feet so get the wide size. I tried the Glycerin Max but it was too much shoe for me. This seems like the perfect middle ground.

Really happy I picked up the Glycerin 21. I've had a number of these over the years and appreciated the fit of the Stealth 20's, but glad I went back to the regular fit for this model. The 21 is an all around comfortable shoe that provides just the ride amount of cush without feeling heavy and slow. Perfect toe box, easy to tie laces that stay put and good grip. Definitely have a place in my locker!

Good responsiveness and energy return. I really like the weight of this version much better than previous versions (lighter). Still a substantial shoe, but this provides me the stability and cushion I want. While it is cushioned, it doesn't feel musty. I compared it directly with the Ghost (my previous go-to shoe), and went with this Glycerin because it fit my foot much better.

Great shoe. I upgraded from the Ghost for more cushioning. I've developed heel pain recently and Glycerin minimizes that pain nicely. The laces are better quality and stay tied without having to knot them. Color options are getting limited now on the 21's, since 22's are out, but the discounted price is a good trade off for that.

I recently returned from four months of slow traveling in Europe (UK, Romania, Bulgaria and Greece). The Glycerin 21 was my primary shoe for that trip. I don't run but log several miles/day walking on a variety of surfaces including lots of cobblestones and rough pavement. I'm hard to fit and even the Glycerins required a new insole (Currex RunPro) to make them work for me. Once I got them dialed in, they have been excellent shoes for travel and high mileage walking. Leaving in March for another three months in Europe and will be taking a new pair of Glycerins with me.

I'm not a dedicated runner but I made it my goal to walk more this summer. And you still need a good shoe for walking and I found the Glycerin 21 to be the perfect shoe for me. It feels like you're walking on pillows. My feet are truly happy now especially if you're dealing with plantar fasciitis and a high arch like myself.

These are the lightest walking/running shoes my size 14 feet have ever been in! It has a soft top. The inside is firm yet soft (Firft? Sirm?). It's not mushy. I got the all black version. They don't scream "Oh! Look at me, I run!" These were recommended to me by my podiatrist because of some problems I am having with a callus on my foot. I'm using these for treadmill walking ATM but will be using them for outdoor exercise in the warmer months and when we travel.

I'm not a runner. I wouldn't run anymore if someone stuck a gun in my back. However I am a distant swimmer and I swim with fins a lot. Fins make my feet sore. The Glycerin 21 shoes help tremendously to comfort my feet, provide support, and balance. Great quality, great construction and good looking shoes.

This is the most comfortable shoe I've ever worn in my life. I didn't even know feet could feel as good as they do in these shoes. They might not be as good for running as some of Brooks other shoes but as a guy who runs more for health and comfort than performance - these are the best shoes on the planet. Possibly the solar system.

My first pair of running shoes in years. I didn't know what to expect when I started running with it. I'm close to 50 and haven't ran in ages. I've heard great things about Brooks so I decided to give this brand a try. And my doctor told me to start exercising so this shoe has motivated me to hit the pavement. It's been very comfortable and the fit is just right. I've had it for a month running 2-3 times a week. No complaints so far.
