I have been a ghost fan for a few years now. My husband as well as some co-workers have been team Glycerin for some time so I thought it was time to try them out. These shoes are SO comfortable! I am a PT on my feet all day, and I love my new shoes!

I love these! Best sneakers Ive ever owned. Im on my feet all day as an occupational therapist and Im also very active. It feels like walking on clouds in these shoes.

While this shoe has a very good heel cushion, there is practically a drop-off at the toes, with almost no support at all under the toes. I guess this helps to push off, but it didn't feel great to me. I'm choosing a different shoe, but if you need a shoe that helps you roll from heel to toe, this could be for you.

I have a wide foot, mid size arch high instep and bunions. The Brooks Glycerin just keeps getting better and better for my foot. I get an 8 1/2 wide and they are amazing. Love the wider toe box. This shoe fits me great!

These are very comfortable, but only on dry roads. The completely mesh upper makes the shoe not only look huge, but any bit of water will cause the entire toe box to be wet. I ran 9 miles the other day with wet feet bc the roads were slightly wet, wasnt even raining, but a tiny bit of water caused the whole toe box to be wet making my feet wet. Being back the days of a toe guard at the end of the shoe to prevent this.

LOVE LOVE LOVE - bought to replace my last pair which wore beautifully. I thought my previous pair was still in good shape albeit the sole worn well and then I put my new pair on and was reminded how awesome a new fresh pair really feel.

I love the shoes except that the foot bed is not wide, especially equal to the 20 series. I bought the 20 series and it’s perfect in a size 7 for someone with bunions this shoe although it’s more padded is not as wide.
I'd also recommend:
I love brooks except im finding they always run a little narrow

Just ordered my second pair of Glycerins. I have a bunch of foot issues which I think were born out of overcorrecting my running pattern with the wrong shoes and unnatural posture. These shoes, along with religious stretching and leg strengthening, havent caused me any issues. Theyre comfy and have a fairly generous toe box for my toes to splay out. I am a 10 in regular shoes, I have had these in a 10.5 and 11 and I think sizing a full size up has given me maximum benefits. No complaints. For reference I am a very casual runner, about 20-30 miles a month, and Im 165 pounds with normal width feet.

Truly like walking on a cloud. These are the ONLY pair of shoes that do not hurt my knees while running. I feel secure and extremely comfortable in these shoes. I just wish they had better color selections.

I purchased these in May and just started to wear them the last 4 weeks as my marathon training has started and I must say I am not a fan of the new style Glycerins..I feel like Im about to go over on my anklehave worn Glycerin for years and loved them. This new style is not for me Im going to Oder the Launch instead!

Ive had a hard time finding shoes that leave my feet feeling good after working 12 hours ( nursing), unfortunately these didnt cut it. My feet hurt at the end of the day so Im sending them back. Im grateful for the Brooks return policy. Ive worn OC for the last year but they broke down pretty quickly.

Im sure theyre a wonderful shoe, although they did not work for me as I have MS and plantar fasciitis (reason for one star). I was in great hopes.

I have worn Glycerin for years & absolutely loved them. Got the 21s and wore the 3 times and had to stop wearing them due to the toe box and a spot rubbing on the side of my foot! Please Brooks bring back the older style! I have bought up the 20s rapidly before everyone buys them up!

Fit great. Broke them in with a 5K Thanksgiving morning. Sized up a half size to give myself some more room in the toes and I was pleased that my heel did not slide. As a PT Ive recommended to a lot of my patients!
