For years I have struggled to find a shoe that allows me to run without pain in my knees. These are them, they are light, have good bounce and fit my foot well without any discomfort. I would recommend these shoes for people with pain and still want to run.

This shoe was made for me. I wear orthotics and they fit with no problems. They are supportive and the construction has no seams that might cause discomfort. The uppers have plenty of "give".

Thought Brooks Ghost was it..no these are it. So far so good after only a month, but it's like walking on a cloud. I size 9 1/2, and I ordered a 10 which work perfectly for me. I have Plantar Fascitis that keeps rearing its ugly head in my heel, so I also wear with a Spenco insole for even extra cushion. Previously after the Ghost, I bought the Adrenalines and very very disappointed in the quality of workmanship in the webbing. After one year, the inside of right foot wore to a hole. Very unsatifactory getting up in this price range. Finished as wearing my everyday shoe, became an expensive worn out pair. I think it's important to hear from new purchasers their feedback after 6-8 months of wear to get a more truer complete experience. Hope this helps someone.

I have trouble finding the right shoes. I'd joined a fitness group and need the right shoes for it. This work very well and feels comfortable.

Love these shoes for both treadmill and outside road running. Very comfortable for my wide feet and I wear them for my HIIT workouts too.

Love it! I have 3 pairs and only buy Brooks running shoes because they are so comfortable and help with my plantar fasciitis.

These felt great out of the box. I have had several versions of the Glycerin and it is my go to for walking. The base does seem wider than last series, but I am ok with that. I got the royal blue with pink (salmon in my opinion) color on bottom.

These were for my daughter, but we both love Brooks! As a woman with a wide foot, I do wish more colors were offered in my width.

These shoes make me want to keep walking. I appreciate their cushion and bounce, which especially help with my semi-rigid orthotics.

The Glycerin 21 is wonderful! My first Brooks was a Ghost 11 after my first (of four) foot surgeries. I was concerned that it would be too spongy but it has a pleasant and secure give to it. Lots of room in the toe box. Glad I switched.

The best running shoes are ones you don't notice when running and I do not notice any discomfort or downsides when running in these. I usually run in Ghost and these are maybe more soft/springy but otherwise, feel pretty similar.

I am on my feet for long hours on hospital floors these are the only shoes I'll wear now! So supportive and also excellent cushion. I no longer have hip and lower back pain at the end of a long day. I got a pair for my mom and she said they're the most comfortable shoes she has ever worn- she's also on her feet a lot!! Bonus points for the compliments I always get on the colors.

This is my first pair of Glycerins. I have been a dedicated Ghost girl for 10 years. But after a bad ankle break I needed a shoe with more cushion. I love this shoe!! I feel like I'm bouncing when I run and they have great support.
