Customer Reviews Brooks Glycerin 21

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.

This is my first pair of Glycerin's. The are very comfortable. I would recommend them. I use them for walking daily about 2 1/2 miles.

I've tried running in the Glycerin in the past and I felt like the foam was too heavy and every step I took was hard hitting the pavement. I was looking for a new shoe and decided to revisit the Glycerin. My local running store let me know they changed the foam and the shoe felt different. I am happy to say this is my new daily trainer! Changing the foam was a huge game changer. Brooks knocked it out of the park. My only gripe is that the fabric started ripping by the toe within my first couple of runs in them but other than that, I absolutely love them.

I have been buying glycerin for many years. I have plantar fasciitis and this style is recommended for help with this condition. I find glycerin 21 to be very comfortable, true to size.

It seems the design of the shoe has changed. I've bought several pairs of this "model" but this one doesn't work for me. There is pressure on the back of my ankle. Returning them.

I love these shoes however after a couple of days it feels like the right shoe blows out. Feels like I am running on the side of my shoe.

I've worn the Glycerin series for over 10 years. It was the only shoe that kept me from getting knee pain. Now I have to return these and start all over again. The best word to describe the 21 is "weird." The fit is completely different. It took me 5 minutes to get the same size I always wear onto my feet. It was extremely tight and painful all over. BRING BACK THE CLASSIC GLYCERIN. I'd buy a dozen pairs of those immediately.

I love these shoes! This is my first pair of the Glycerins. I usually wear the Ghosts but this is now my favorite walking shoe!

I had to go up a half size but they fit great, provide support and cushion. I really like the look of them and have gotten compliments on them several times.

I was excited to get the pink shoes and being on sale made it even better. Right away my shins and calves were not comfortable. Also not a big fan of the padded tongue. Felt like a lot chafing going on. Not sure why the tongue has to be so thick. Laces were oddly short. I hate when theyre so long that the laces are all over the place. These could have been an extra 2 longer so I could double knot. I have the Glycerin Stealthfit 20 and those are light and cushy. The glycerin 21 felt clunky and not as soft as I anticipated. The Stealthfit are a bit too fitted in the hot weather. I thought the Glycerins would be soft and not so confining for the warmer months. Will give it a few more runs to see if feeling improves. If not I will go back to the Stealthfit.

Wearing shoes for several days I developed plantar fasciitis in both feet. Painful condition. I purchased Dr Scholl insoles for plantar fasciitis and I instantly had relief. So far I do enjoy the shoes

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. Ill stick with my Ghost for running, but will definitely buy more Glycerin for being on my feet all day at work!

My podiatrist recommended I try these, and she was right. They are very comfortable, my orthotic inserts fit nicely, and the wide toe box is just what I need. I walk and hike 50 - 70 miles per month so a comfortable, durable shoe is important!

Love the new cushion, but still has wonderful stability. the black and white is a nice combo that goes with everything. I can wear these all day while I train my clients, my favorite shoe!

I bought this shoe thinking I would buy it or the adrenaline. However, I decided to keep this one as a walking shoe because it is so comfortable and stylish.

Good heal and Arch support but tight on the toes especially where the seam is before the laces.

Im on my 3rd pair of glycerin 21 and I love them! I just started running this year and its all due to these shoes!!!

Ive had several pairs of ghosts and decided to switch to glycerin to try them out. They are the most comfortable shoes Ive ever owned.

This is my 4th pair from the Glycerin line. A few years back, I was having a lot of heel pain. At the time, my son worked for a shoe retailer and he called the Brooks rep to ask what might help my situation. She recommended the Glycerin and I've been wearing them ever since. Really comfortable and provide more than adequate cushioning to protect my feet. I must note, I am not a runner -- I wear these for walking, exercising, etc. --- and they are wonderful.

Ive worn the Glycerin model for many years. The 21 feels even more stable yet very light than previous. Really like it

I've been wearing Brooks Glycerin line for some years now and love them. As I have commented in the past, however, it would be so nice if Brooks would manufacture more of the white as those are always the first to sell out. Give more attention to what your customers want.

I really wanted to love these shoes. However, the end of the toe box is not wide enough. My 4th and 5th toe rub and cause discomfort. I loved the cushion and the look! Sadly, I will need to return.

too spongy. I liked the 20 better. I think its a mistake to keep adding this spongy effect it is a sneaker

Great running shoes. Love it.
