Thanks again for a great pair.

These provide great support and cushion - I am an older running putting in about 30 miles a week - but my feet feel great

Great shoe. I have had 4 surgeries on my feet and my Podiatrist highly recommended this shoe and the Goodfeet insert. These provide the arch support that I now need. They are pretty comfortable with the first time use. I am no longer a runner but do a fair amount of walking and these are great for summertime and dry weather. I wish the price point were better (lower) but I do wait for your sales and catch the Glycerin on sale and will buy a few pairs at a time. Please please keep the quality on these shoes. I used to work for Nike back in the good old days and their materials and quality have gone down hill and I no longer purchase their footwear. Thank you

Toe box is unexpectedly wider than previous styles and the sole is thicker. Don't particularly care for either of these changes.

I've never needed a wide fit before, but I had to try two narrow sizes before eventually realizing I would need a wide fit in these. They are comfy, and I am a Glycerin fan, but these are much narrower than the two pairs of Glycerin 20s I previously wore.

I ordered the solid black but it is actually a very dark gray on top.

This is my first pair of Glycerin21s. I walk 3.5 miles daily and have worn these on around 20-30 walks so far so I can't get speak to durability. They have great cushioning and are super comfortable. I wear an 8M in street shoes and usually wear 8.5 in athletic shoes, but due to a problem with ingrown toenails, my podiatrist recommended I try 9 which is even better. And I love the feminine colors -- I got lavender, "Zephyr" (pink), and "cloud" (aqua). The only downside is that the fun colors are not offered in the larger and wider sizes for my sister -- she always feels left out that only black and navy are offered in her size.

This is my favorite style of Brooks. They fit me so well and don't bother my plantar fasciitis. They conform to my foot but they're not tight or restrictive. I love this bright blue color too.

This is my 3rd pair of Glycerins (had 19 & 20 too). Of the 3 pairs I like the 21s best because the toe is rounder and the toe box is wider. Plan to purchase an additional pair of 21s for when my current ones wear out. Note: I am not an athlete; I purchase athletic shoes because I have both rheumatoid and osteo arthritis in my feet and need extra foot cushioning.

Ive been wearing Brooks glycerin for quite some time now. I bought Glycerin 21 earlier this month January, took it out twice, once for a 5K & 10K and I felt like the toe box was too short & narrow. Ive been sick with a cold & havent been running hoping next week Ill take her out for 7-8 miles & see how it feels. Im hoping to prove me wrong. For this reason I gave 4 stars. If I keep the shoes Ill update to 5 stars.

Too much padding making it hard to get on my foot. I have medium width in other Brooks. Ran short after ordering half a size up. Disappointed with the fit.

This is my go to shoe and I have the mint green which are great but manufactured in a different country than the black. My review is on the black because it is like a totally different shoe. Its much shorter in length and very narrow compared to the mint. I went up a whole size and no difference. I really want a black pair for winter too bad.

These shoes are amazing. The only ones I and my teenagers will ever get. We literally wear them every single day.

Disappointed in this version of my favorite running shoe. I've loved running in Brooks Glycerins for the past 10-15 years. Glycerins have been the only running shoes I've found that don't aggravate my bunions (I have to buy the wides) and I have consistently bought the next version year after year and been satisfied. I do not care for this model however, and had to return after experiencing tremendous foot pain for days following my first runs in these. I wish I had stockpiled the 20's when I had the chance but it's too late to find my size now. If the 22's don't work out any better for me, I fear I will have to switch over to another brand because the changes made to this version are definitely not improvements/updates for my foot type and needs.

I live in my Brooksies! I have been wearing Brooks Glycerins for several years. After surgery on both feet, these are the only shoes that are actually comfortable. I wear a wide shoe and this fits perfectly. I will be wearing them forever.

I really love all my Glycerins. The only thing I dont understand is why Brooks will not listen to their customers and make longer laces and more colors in wides. Its crazy. Listen to people buying your shoes.

Ive been wearing glycerin for years and love them. Unfortunately the new design is not as comfortable. The cloth part tends to hit my foot higher so that rubs in spots and is perhaps a bit narrower. Much preferred the old style, it was such a winner and didnt need a makeover.
I dont care for Hokait looks like you went towards that style. Please return to the old glycerin.
