These shoes were perfect from the moment I put them on. Comfy and so lightweight. The most comfortable shoes I have ever had. I'm not a runner, but wear these for everyday use. The cushioning is great.

I've worn Ghosts exclusively for about 6 years. Recently I tried Hoka Cliftons, Brooks Ghost Max, and Brooks Glycerin 21 with my clear favorite being the Glycerin 21's. I like them even better than my Ghost 16's and 15's. The Hoka Clifton shoes were too spongy and the Ghost Max were not responsive and a little cumbersome.

As a diabetic, type 2, I’ve got to be careful about shoe choices. Amongst other things, I need a wide, comfortable, shoe, that’s supportive and well cushioned. I think the Brooks Glycerin 21 met all of those conditions. I originally bought the Brooks Glycerin 21 GTS, but the toe box felt a bit cramped. I have custom inserts and when I put them in, the GTS shoe was not workable. The Glycerin 21 has a slightly more rounded toe box and that was enough to get the inserts in and provide a comfortable fit. Normally, I buy Brooks Ghost shoes. But the color choices in that model were horrible. Brooks admits to manufacturing limited numbers of wide models because of the size of the market. This definitely leads to less stylish choices for me. I’m not slamming Brooks, they’re a great company. I just happen to have oddly sized feet.

I'm writing this review as someone who used to be a 30-50 mile a week runner, got a joint injury not related to running, and could not run more than 2 miles without significant joint pain. After running in these for the past 3 months, I am in less pain than in any other shoes I own and can tolerate 5-6 miles nowbut with more conditioning and top notch cushioned shoes like this, I may be able to push further than I had ever gone post injury. Thanks for building a running shoe to help me get back to running!

These shoes fit great. They are comfortable and breathe very well. Long distance walks, or a quick run.

As a daily 30 minute morning runner before work I tried these out from brooks for the first time. The sole are very good and providing cushioning and has a nice spring back as you come off your landing to enhance your run. Definitely enjoying Brooks as a brand and will be back for more. Great indoor track running shoe.

I've had several Brooks shoes, gone to others and have coco me back. Never many choices, though, in wide sizes. Would be nice to have more of a selection.

This is an amazing shoe & most comfortable shoe I've ever had. I've been wearing the Hoka Clifton for years and have been looking for a new shoe. I tried many different shoe brands but couldn't find anything similar that I liked. This is better than I expected I've put over 100 miles this month and they are just getting better as I break them in. Perfect amount of cushion but still firm and responsive.

I'm not a runner but needed a shoe to help me with Achilles tendinitis. It's the most comfortable and supportive running/walking shoe I've ever had.

Really like the shoe for its wide toe box and arch support. I have tendinitis in my foot which really causes me a great deal of pain. I wear this shoe with the support of my orthotics now my foot doesn't bother me. My feet changed during pregnancy and never returned to my pre pregnancy status. So as mentioned the wide toe box gives me the necessary width to support the widening of my feet.

I have been wearing Brooks for15 plus years . I enjoy the light weight, cushion, and support of the Glycerin. I'm not a runner but I do a lot of walking daily

I had the stealth version of these shoes 6-8 months ago and before I knew it I had to retire them after 400 miles! I kept reaching them over and over so I had to get another pair! Love these shoes for daily and long runs, occasionally intervals. I have flat feet but feel supported with mid foot strikes, and though they fit true to size you may want to consider half size up. They're quite cushy and serve as recovery run shoes. I love the blue color way!

Great shoes. I like these a lot. Only ran twice but they seemed comparable to Hokas that I've been wearing the past few years.

Love these shoes, the thicker sole is like walking on clouds. If you're on your feet all day they're a must have!

Perfect shoe for a man with multiple invasive foot surgeries, bought size 11 fit one foot, had to get 10.5 for the other foot, expensive but he has always loved Brooks and damaged foot deserves comfort.

These are the best running/walking shoes so far! I've bought adrenalines 23 gts and launch 10 gts for my wife's feet and they are okay I use the launch for speed work and adrenalines for running but I wanted an everyday shoe. So I I first tried the beast 23 gts which was okay but hard on my soles and heavy so I returned them to get these and to my surprise the tow box is perfect and and I love the cushions, the shoe is super light I probably should've got these in the first place! I wear a size 11e so getting a wide in these shoes is perfect! Please don't stop making these brooks!

I've 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 it's just not worth trying another shoe for me..

More for less? Who wouldn't love that trade off. The increased stack height and lower weight is a welcomed update. The fit is plush and comfortable. Let's work on breath ability and this shoe may be the perfect cruiser. Great job, Brooks!

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 didn't 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 hasn't 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.
