Customer Reviews Brooks Glycerin 21

Nice cushion, but wish the heel was more like the Glycerin 20--the 21 is a bit too puffy and tends to roll in/down without a shoe horn.

I found the new Glycerin 21 super cushioned and comfortable. It is a good shoe to rotate with the GTS, which is my go-to shoe. My only comment would be that I wish you offered more colors in the wide! I'm not quite ready for the white shoe look yet.

These shoes are heavenly! I have several of the recent Brooks line shoes and the Glycerin 21's are my favorite! I do a variety of workouts, walk, run, weight lifting and these shoes are comfortable for all the above.

not my first pair. I am over 70 and walk 3 miles most days and they are always my go to for walking...love the cushion. keep up the good work. Due to the cushion socks I always size up 1/2 size.

As a postpartum 5k-a-day road runner, I thought these ran a little small relative to the ghost line that I typically wear, but that may be because I had a baby, and I definitely appreciate how comfortable and cushy these shoes are.

I like cushion and support during walking. But I don't love how wide the shoe looks and the colors aren't for me. I wanted something that also looks sleek and elegant. I guess comfort and elegant don't go together? Overall if I don't look at them, they feel good under my feet.

Absolutely love these! I ended up getting 2 pairs. I also wear ghost 15s. I use the Glycerins for my longer runs to help decrease pain on my shins!! Bouncier than the ghosts but still feel grounded when I run. Plus I love the colors! I have light blue and light pink.

These are the softest, cushion shoe ever. I will buy these again! They are great for long walks!

Good fit for work in healthcare and Tabata classes.

I'm a nurse and I've been wearing Glycerin for work since Glycerin 17. It just keeps getting better with every update. I also got my 10-year old son a pair for Glycerin 21 and he loves them. I preordered Glycerin Max and am excited to try them.

Im on my feet all day in a busy medical clinic. I really wanted to love these shoes, but the tongue makes blisters on my feet. Ive started wearing my Launch GTS 10 again.

Since switching to glycerine 21, Ive had less foot and leg fatigue at work.

Great shoes, perform exactly as described. I had several Adrenalins before but Glycerins offer more cushion for my feet

I had high hopes of getting brookes as its my first time wearing them and Ive heard such good things about them. As Im writing this though Im resting my feet because they were in so much pain from these shoes. I work and am on my feet all day walking, jogging and standing. I do have a lower arch but at first these shoes felt great! I felt so bouncy and ready but once they wore in is when the pain set in. Im going to try the GTS to see if the added support would help but I just hate the color options they come in. Bring back just plain black and white lol also the black and pink ones are more grey and pink, I wished they were darker.

Best cushion I've had in a shoe in a long time

Ordered these and returned the day I received them. Ive been wearing Brooks for years and love them. I switch between Adrenaline, Ghost, and Glycerin. I ordered the new 21s. They do not hit my arch in the right place at all, and one of the reasons I stay with Brooks is for the higher arch and wide toe box. Something changed in this model that didnt work for me. Sending these back for the Adrenaline instead.

Love them!!! Best running shoes so far

Good indoors and on paved roads. Not so good on gravel and dirt roads.

Hips seem to be hurting since switching from Hoka to Brooks. Almost feels like too much cushion and not enough support. Makes me sad as I only have 2 pairs of walking or running shoes and my Hokas are 3 years old. Cant afford to switch back. But I do know that every foot is different. Just was hoping it would help with Achilles issues. But it didnt, and now having hip issues. But I know people who LOVE Brooks. Just afraid they are not right for me.

I bought these to use in zumba and cardio dance classes. Toe box is entirely too wide. I am bordering on needing a wide shoe, but I have to lace this up a great deal. Also, the soles are too sticky for use in dance or on a court. I am trying to roughen them up so that they slide better.

Love them. Perfect amount of cushion. Just wish more colors were available in wide.

The Glycerine 20 was the best shoe I ever wore. I have flat feet and wear orthotics and for most of my life walking felt like a chore. The Glycerine 20 birthed new life in my feet and I was able to go for miles in comfort. But of course, Brooks (like many other shoe brands) had to go and ruin a perfect thing. The Glycerine 21s have way too much foam and run smaller than the 20s , plus they did away with the awesome black/blue/fuschia combo. I tried two sizes of 21s but they were just too mushy and gave me shin splints. I tried the Ghost 16s and those havent worked out either, so I ended up sticking up on whatever Glycerine 20s I could find and hope that in the next couple of years, Brooks will return to the 20 model. More foam does not equal a better shoe.

Orders a half size bigger and it's been perfect fit! However the white color is hard to keep clean as I'm outside most of the time for the workout and running.

I love these shoes. I was fitted at a running store years ago. I have stayed with them since. Very comfortable.
