I mostly walk, fast pace walking 14 min mile. Usually about 5 miles a day. Some days i have slight flare up with planters fascitis.. if I remove my shoes in an hour after walking it doesn't occur. Not sure about reason why. They are very comfortable, no fascitis if I am only running errands in them.

So soft & comfy! Patiently waiting for more limited edition colorways to come out so I can buy some back ups.

Very comfortable. Like walking on a cloud. I like the wide sole, less apt to fall if you hit a rock just right. I don't run, I walk (a lot) and they are great for that too.

After years of buying Saucony, Hoka One One, Skechers, Asics and others, I decided to try my first pair of Brooks and I chose the Glycerin 21. I walk 3-4 times per week for 60 minutes on my treadmill and wanted something plush with lots of cushion and not too much weight. The Glycerin 21 delivered and I am happy with my purchase. The only small complaint I have, is the toe box seemed a bit narrow and snug, but I am confident it will stretch a bit with time. I have worn them 5 times and we'll see how many miles I get out of them before they need to be replaced. Overall, I am happy with the shoe and recommend them with 2 enthusiastic thumbs up!

I've had these shoes for a little over a month now and my feet feel SO MUCH BETTER than they did before I was wearing these. I was dealing with serve plantar fascia tenderness to the point I could not walk without terrible pain. I was walking 3 + miles a day before my foot started hurting. I am back up to a mile and a half since wearing these shoes. I am looking to get another pair soon!

These shoes are great! Light, yet durable. Had to size up due to toe box being too short and my toe rubbing at the top, as well as a little snug mid foot. Sizing up fixed those issues. I wish they were a bit thicker in the front sole of the shoe. For some reason the balls of my feet hurt after Ive been walking long distances. (I think it may be an anatomy issue vs a shoe issue.) Hoping a thicker sock will my feet with this issue. Overall very pleased to finally find a shoe I can wear that doesnt cause me pain for hours/days after wearing that I can wear for everyday use as well as walking.

I'm not a runner, but I'm on my feet all day and these shoes are the best! They fit perfectly and are comfy for standing or walking. I didn't think the perfect shoe existed!

I had to return them. The insole curves up so much it rubs on the instep. The glycerin 19 feel was must better though the cushion improvements of the 21 is great. Combine the insole feel of the 19s with the cushion of the 21 and you have a fabulous shoe

Cushioning is excellent. Shoe is perfect for when I need to be on my feet a lot. I need maximum cushion or my legs hurt. Roomy foot bed and nice light weight. Purchased neutral color to go with most everything.

I have several pairs in this style over the years & for some reason this one is tight over the top of my foot. It’s almost as if the stitching on the tongue is too bulky…odd & painful.

I have tried differs running shoes, brooks included, and these are by far the best pair I've ever owned. I have had them for two weeks now and I wear them everyday and I wear them to run. They are perfect for both activities. Running specifically they are excellent. They have a really good balance between firmness an cushion. They aren't so cushioned that it isn't supportive but not to firm that is jars your bones. 10/10 recommend!

Such a smooth and comfortable ride. I first tried these on the treadmill and wasnt quite impressed. I almost returned them until I tried them on the road and wasnt quite impressed! They are so comfortable and it made each step feel nearly effortless. I love them!

I've tried MANY shoes, but these are my FAVORITES. I love that the come in "Wide," and I LOVE the level of cushion that they provide without having any painful "structure" in my arch. I've bought them repeatedly. Great shoe!

Im a runner and Ive worn brooks glycerin for years but I dont know what happened with the 21. I cant get past mile 5 with then. My feet are in agony. I thought they needed breaking in so I tried then for a few runs but no good. Others in the running group have had the same issues.

Like walking on a cloud. Lots of room for a broader foot thats not quite wide enough for a wide shoe.
