I ordered a wide and 1/2 size bigger, but they weren't wide enough in the toe box or long enough. I had to return them.

Thought the DNA Loft Nitrogen Injected symbol was a sticker when I bought these. Realized when I got home its not. I sadly will be returning. The whole look of the shoe is ruined by that silly symbol for me.

The rocker heel and textured sole make it unusable for wearing in a fitness class, playing Pickle Ball, even walking outside over uneven ground because the textured circles on the sole catch on surfaces. These shoes are only usable for walking or running on a flat smooth surface. They cost too much to only wear for one activity. The Glycerin 19 were perfect for all activites.

I am on my feet for several hours a day as a healthcare worker and these are incredibly comfortable! They require no break in period, theyre comfortable from the jump! I took the Brooks quiz to see which shoe would be best for what I was looking for and they were right! Incredibly comfy and I like the all black look too! True to size

I returned my shoes which was frustrating to me. You seem to be making the toe box of your shoes larger and larger. Why change something that has worked for so long.
I am going to be forced to go to another brand and I have worn Brooks for 10+ years!

I am a long time Brooks wearer. I have had many iterations ot Brooks and although the comfort has consistently gotten better over the years, the durability for this last pair was awful. My shoes are only three months old and look worse than the pair I was replacing which were close to a year old. I am so disappointed as I have always sworn by Brooks shoes. I think Im going to pick up an old version of this shoe until the new version comes out. I hope the next ones are more durable.

I put 3 stars because they didnt work for me. They may work for you. I found them to feel unstable and didnt have enough arch support for me. I sized up half a size and my toes still felt like they rubbed. My feet and ankles were sore after wearing them for errands.

I am on my feet all day on a concrete floor and my feet would hurt so bad I just wanted to cry, but this shoe feels so comfortable it's like walking on a cloud. I love these shoes, I wish I had known about these earlier.

I love these sneakers! I'm getting back into running and needed something with decent cushion and support. No more shin splints or painful joints. I find they fit true to size.

I love these shoes; however, I take wide width and the colors and sizes are limited. I would like to see more options in the wide width shoes. I buy these because I like the cushion and support. I walk a lot and have arthritis in my feet and ankles so I need a good shoe. My doctor said these were one of the best I could get. Please make more options in wide widths.

I've been wearing Brooks Glycerin since the 18. Unfortunately I can not wear the 21. The padding on the tongue of the shoes is so thick that the stitching that attaches it to the shoe presses in to my foot so hard it makes mt toes go numb. Why so much padding there? I tried multiple shoes to see if it was just a one off, but even in different sizes it was still like that. I'll have to move to another brand until the next model.

I bought a pair of glycerins from my local shop. I have probably owned at least ten pairs of the various versions of this shoe. However, when wearing these shoes the stiff part of the front of the shoe near the tow box has creased creating a very sharp indent that hurts my feet when I walk. I have stopped wearing them because of this. This happened almost immediately.

These shoes are great! Very comfortable, stylish, and my feet feel great in them. Listened to a friend's recommendation, and I'm glad I did.

Love these Glycerins that just made great even better. Ive worn these for the past several years after ditching other brands, and the extra cushion in these propel me through the day in walking a lot. Very comfy. Wish though they still had my usual navy preferred color, thats versatile.

This is much smaller inside compared to the previous Glycerins, 19 & 20. The cavity was too small to use with an orthotic. Im looking for an alternative and in a wide width. I had to return them.

This shoe was way too cushioned and my feet and ankles hurt because it was so squishy and unstable. First time Ive had to return Glycerins as I have been exercising and using them as my daily walking around town shoes for over 10 years. Found another review that said the Ghost is now closer to the old Glycerin level of cushioning.

Where did the narrow size go? I have been wearing Glycerines in a 10.5 narrow since 2012. I am so, so disappointed!

I have these in two different colors. The first color I bought fits funny on my left heal. It seems like the padding on the back is bigger than it is on the other shoe - to the point that it rubs and is uncomfortable. I bought a second pair to compare. The second pair I bought feels much better - there is no rubbing and they feel great. I think it must just be inconsistent manufacturing or maybe its just a fluke with the one pair I have. So I have one pair of these sneakers I love and another pair I dont wear much. I just wish that pair fit better!
