These are my now favorite running shoe. The cushioning is my most important need besides fit and its amazing!

I have problem feet - very flat and bones that stick out too much. Glycerin 2.0 fits me wonderfully and I was anxious to try the 2.1. They are cushy and probably feet great for others but for me - they hurt around the top edge of the sides. It's probably because my feet are so flat.

Ugh Ive been loyal to Brooks forever but the updated designs every year get worse. These are too narrow and too short. I always take an 11 in Brooks(which is a size bigger than any other brand) and the seam at the toe box was so uncomfortable I couldnt walk in them. I cant imagine running because your toes would get cut up. 3 stars because the comfort of the footbed is there and the lavender color is perfection but sizing is small with this version

I think I like the Glycerine 20's better. But they are still very good. Just not as comfortable as previous shoe.

Sizing runs shorter than is typical for a Brooks shoe. Same can be said for the width.

I had been using Ghost 16s but switched to these when I started doing longer runs for half-marathon training. They fit very similar just with a bit more cushion for those extra miles. I definitely recommend, especially if you already use Ghosts!

Very light weight and comfortable. I normally wear Nikes and Jordans and my feet hurt like no other after a 12 hour shift however, my feet feel amazing and dont feel so much pressure on my back legs and feet. I recommend to anyone, not just nurses.

The toe dent issue that dominates this version of shoes is and was awful. Overall shoe design great though and super comfortable. Loved the wider toe box. Even with replacements direct from Brooks still have big toe dents in every pair. Ordered 3+ due to feet having changed. Went from Ghosts to Glycerin and a half size up. Have multiple pairs. Used for everyday and walks. Had to replace 5 or more pairs due to feet changing. Have worn Brooks for 15 or more years. Also - bring back brighter colors for women with colored soles NOT white soles and NOT so many pastels. Good bold colors such as Turquoise. Fushia. Less baby blue, soft pink etc

Too much change. I have worn Brooks for years in the same size. This order the shoes were too big. Im not a fan of the high heel athletic shoe. Also something is different with the heal pad - they shred easily.

Wearing these shoes when running feels like running on the clouds; they are well-made and cushioned. After completing a four-mile routine, your legs (and feet) thank you for making this choice.

The shoe fit very well with a wider toe box. The cushioning is just right and the arch was perfect for my food. I liked everything about the shoe.

This is a very comfortable, well-fitting and stable shoe for brisk walking. I'm typically on rougher roads and feel confident in the shoes. It offers great arch support. My only drawback is that it isn't an attractive shoe. While lightweight, it looks bulky and wide. I'll keep wearing but will consider that for future shoes.

These shoes are so comfortable and supportive - I wish that the had more of the Glycerine in wide because the WIDE selection is limited!

I enjoy these sneakers. I use these along with my Hokas. I was having bursitis in my hip and I wanted to see if changing my brand of sneakers would help at all.

I have been using the Glycerin for a while now. I would need to go a 1/2 size up from my usually size. Toes are touching in the front, but overall still a great shoe.

I love my Brooks Ghost. Been running in them for 4 years. Need a pair for standing at work, went with the Glycerin for extra cushioning. Fantastic at work, but a little sore in place when I tried running with them. I'll stick with my Ghost for running, but will definitely buy more Glycerin for being on my feet all day at work!

Love the bright orange and purple colors. My feet usually hurt when I workout or go for a walk, these provide the right amount of cushion that helps prevent painin my lower back.
