It's the most comfortable tennis shoe I've ever worn. I needed cushion and arch support, this shoe foots the bill!

The materials are not up to the quality I am used to with brooks. You have really cut back on quality. Was disappointed. Hoping the new brooks will be better as this is my favorite sneaker. Also you need to work on colors.

Cushion was good but not quite as responsive as I would like. The shoe just didn't fit my foot quite right especially the arch support was off for me (I have had this challenge with several other pairs of Brooks.) This would be a good shoe for many people, just not quite what I was looking for & the poor fit (for me) meant I had to return it. Thank you Brooks for your generous return policy-it's one of the main reasons that I keep trying Brooks brand shoes & have had success with other models, most recently the Hyperion.

They give me a lot of cushion and sport as I work in a busy medical practice and wear them all day and when I exercise. I have gone back and forth between the ghost and the glycerin. I havent had a pair like this in a few years. Definitely makes my knees feel better when I run! Color is perfect!

Glycerins are some of my favorite shoes from Brooks. I like the comfort of the GTS more but I have wide feet so I often just take what I can get when wide is available. That said I wish Brooks would offer more color options in wide sizes. It's disappointing to only have a few boring colors available in a wide width.

Not a fan of the new foam. Developed foot pain pretty quick. Too soft to the point it feels cheap. Loved my glycerin 20s so was hoping these would be the same. Unfortunately not.

I love these shoes. I am on my feet all day as a nurse and my feet never hurt! I also deal with bunions and they have widened the toe box for this model and they are perfect!!

I love these shoes! I didnt think there was much of a difference in running shoes until I got these. They dont cause shine pain, are super cushiony, and the best to run in. Ill never look at other shoes again!

I have been wearing the glycerin for 5 years and the 21s feel a bit more snug and shorter. I bought my regular size 7.5 and after my recent 8 mile jog walk I felt that my toes were cramped. But I am in love with the new cushioning because I run on pavement a lot. I stopped by a running store afterwards and tried on the glycerin in an 8 and it felt much better. I love the limited edition ice cream line!

I am not a runner, but I have really enjoyed this Glycerin. I have a fallen arch, and am doing PT. My PT person commented that the support seemed much better than my Ghost Max. My heal rolls inward with the Ghost and was beginning to bother my ankle. I do much better in the Glycerin.

Ive worn Glycerin for my runs for years and I fell in love with the Stealthfit styles a while ago, but for some reason the pull tab on the back gave me serious blister issues. First time Ive ever had any complaint about the Glycerin. I had to go back to the 20s.

I WISH more colors in WIDE. Think bunions!
Dont want black nor white cream. Already have the navy. Special editions never come in wide.

Amazing shoe. Comfortable and stable. While I am not a runner, it is perfect for long walks. Lots of support without sacrificing wonderful comfort. Runners should love this shoe too.

The Glycerin 21 is one of my very favorite models of Brooks running shoes. If you are looking for a shoe to do a ton of walking in, this is the shoe for you! It is so comfortable and has the very best cushioning. I couldn't be happier with my purchase.

I no longer have issues with my ankle twisting when I walk or run. These shoes were the answer to my ankle issues. Now I can go all day and still feel great!

I forgot how much I love the glycerins! My plantar fasciitis has been bothering me and the podiatrist recommended this exact shoe a while back. Feels like youre walking on clouds, so glad I got a new pair!

I really wanted to love this shoe.. I ordered a 6.5 wide and out of the box, I immediately relaced the shoe but my God, the toe box was still narrow and the top of the shoe was tight no matter how much I loosened up the laces. I ran 8 miles to still give it a chance and my pinky toes were blistered. This is unfortunate because I feel that the cushion and bounce of the shoe was perfect but not worth the pain and blistering as I train for the Chicago marathon.
Note, I purchased this shoe online at a Fleet Feet and luckily they have an amazing return policy. I was really looking forward to it after hearing so many good things about the Glycerin. I have the wide Adrenalines and did not have the same problem.

I like these shoes a lot but the upper at the very end creases, making annoying bumps inside that hit my toes. If they didnt do that, I would buy a couple more pairs.
