I was a Ghost only runner for several years but the 16 didn't work for me. I love the Glycerin 21. I did size up a half size over the Ghost and that made the fit perfect. Additional colors in wide sizes would be nice. I also wear these for work. I'm on my feet in a hospital all day and they make a huge difference in how I feel after a long shift. As always, Brooks customer support is the best!

Excellent shoe. Now have 2 of them. Very comfortable, very supportive and stylish. Only wish my size (11 / wide) came more colors.

My brother is th runner, l walk. I have reumatoide psoriasis and is diffucult to move without feeling some kind of pain. I'm vacationing and haven't stop moving. Much less pain, there a feeling of be able to walk with ease and incredible comfortable. Is the best walking shoes( for me ) ever. I'm walking an average of 6 miles a day while vacationing. Thank all the brooks team for giving me back the ability to walk without hasseles.. Love them.

Great shoe, very good comfort and just the right amount of cushioning, not too firm, not too soft. Very happy with them.

Grandson loves these shoes. He's had 3 pair and refuses to wear another brand. He's a big boy and plays football and says they give him great support.

I’ve been looking for this color combination in a Brooks running shoe for a long time and now you’ve done it for me. Brooks is always a perfect fit and so comfortable. Thank you.

very comfortable after years of foot surgeries, especially like the firmness behind the heel, though the soft heel cushion sole took some getting used to. worn Brooks for years, these are the best ever.

Wow! I’ve had several pair of Glycerin 20’s which I’ve walked thousands of miles in. Slipped the 21’s on and was instantly amazed. You can feel the improvements instantly. Feels a bit more cushioned while at the same time very stable for a neutral shoe. Not thrilled w the all black styling. Ordering more colors today. (60-72 miles per week walker)

Heel placement felt insecure, foot seemed to slide around in the base. Most likely lighter runners won't experience this I'm 6ft 230. Cushioning is amazing and definitely lowered the impact on the body even from concrete paths.

Great shoe! Definitely will buy again. Was not expecting the product to help the pain in my feet instantly. I was getting corns on the middle outside of my feet making it very difficult to walk. Brooks is like walking on water.

I've worn Glycerins in past years, always brought me relief. The fit to my foot shape was perfect, arch support great, even cushioning thru the outsole. But this model made the ball & metatarsal of both feet hurt -- which I found was caused by the extra curve of cushion in front of the arch that his the ball of the feet, then quickly tapers off to the toes. If the high quality & type of cushion was even across the bottom, gradually tapering to the front, I would've bought 2 pairs. But, it's definitely a generous width across the toes in Wide.

provides all around support from heal to toe.. better that other models such as ghost and trace. the forward toe has a wider berth which allows for my wider foot to adhere to. superb support through out my foot

Felt JUST okay, not like the Ghost. I don't believe there was as much cushion in the forefoot. I don't know for certain, but after walking around the house in them, wasn't willing to change from my usual. I did like the looks and this is why I tried them.
I'd also recommend:
Brooks Ghost, period

They are very soft and would be a 5 star review but for the fact that they are very tight to my foot. I have a long narrow foot and ordered the regular width thinking it should be fine but if you have them on for an extended period they can be uncomfortable. Hopefully they loosen over time.

Size Purchased Mens 10 wide. Great shoe. Good balance of support and cushion. Wide size works well with with my bunion. Primary use is power walking and light jogs over short distances. Over 50 with bad knees and just looking to stay healthy. These shoes keep me moving comfortably. Only drawback is the color selection in wide is very limited. I mostly walk on roads and would love a hi vis color in wide sizes.

Great shoe that's almost there for my needs. I'm going to return and wait for the Ghost Max to go on sale, as it has the extra cushioning that I need. The wide fit of the Glycerin 21 is perfect, and it's an outstanding shoe, just not enough for my tortured knee and hip as a 4.5 mile 4-5 x week walker.

Very comfortable with good cushion and support. Running feels easy on the shoes. Only negative for me is they seem to wear quickly, losing tread faster than other shoes.
