The only reason it's a 4 is because of the colors available in wide. They are the same 4 colors since the shoe dropped but they have realized 11 different colors in the regular width? I feel like the wide width has no girly colors even though this is a women's shoe. Even though I wear a wide I still want a pink or purple shoe many even a neutral white.

Like them for everyday walking but not for running. Made my feet feel really heavy. Could barely make 2 miles in them.

This was my first pair of Brooks , unfortunately this did not work for me , I do a 5 mile power walk with cardio a day and they made my toes numb. The fit was good , I had plenty of toe room , but I feel I need more cushioning in the toe area . The 90 day return policy is great , the return and refund was hassle free and I have ordered a new pair of Ghost

I have bought only Brooks for years, but this pair is not as comfortable as all the others. This last pair I bought pushes my toes to the fronts of the shoes which makes my toes hurt. The slant from the back to the front is so slanted that I think this is the problem. I am trying to continue wearing this pair in hopes that these will stretch and become more comfortable.

Seen significantly lighter than the 20 model I'd been wearing. And softer - that might be because I'd used the last pair for a while... But the width seems just a bit narrower in the toe box. I wish my size came in more colors. Guess I should sign up for notifications. Maybe my 10.5 wides are sometimes available in other colors in limited production.

I love this shoe! Toe box wide enough, heel and arch support so comfortable. Probably my best Brooks shoe I have bought. I have been wearing Brooks for years. No foot or knee pain, just really comfortable!

I love glycerins. I have owned at least four pairs over the years, maybe more. I have a lot of foot issues and have tried so many shoes, but I always come back to these. With that said, I am very frustrated and disappointed with the Glycerin 21s. I ordered my first pair and when I got them, the right toebox keeps indenting against my big toe. Figured it was just a bad pair, so I returned those and ordered a replacement in the same color. Now the second pair is even worse with a bigger indent in the right shoe and a small indent in the left. After looking around online, I have seen other photos and complaints with the same issue. These could be great shoes if I could just get one pair that isnt defective. Just one. But returning shoes is a hassle. Trying to decide if I am going to give up on these shoes completely or trying ordering another pair one more time.

I switched back to Brooks Glycerin as a change up from running with Saucony's the last 2 years, but I must have forgotten that that the toe box was a wee bit less roomy. Perhaps they changed the model a bit with updates, but it is still a very comfortable, stable and light shoe.

Good neutral shoe. Sole is comfy but not overly cushioned. Plenty of room for toes. Snug heel. I cant comment on running I am using them for walking. They are breathable not waterproof. I wear a different pair in foul weather

Love these shoes! I have the Pink pair size 6M. I walk about 2-2.5 miles a day and they need to be replaced about every 6-8 months to keep the bounce but otherwise they are perfect.

I absolutely LOVE the Womens Glycerin 21. I really like max cushion shoes for running and the Glycerins do not disappoint! Unlike other brands max cushion shoe which made me feel like I was running in cement, the Glycerins are light, provide a soft strike/landing and make me feel as though I am putting forth less effort.

Unfortunately, I returned my G21 because the new style just looked too clunky. I found a G20 online and ordered that instead. I hope they redo the design bc the new style just isn't flattering. Feels good on the foot as usual, but not appealing. :(

I have been wearing Glycerins since the 18s. I love them. I purchased same size and it feels noticeably shorter than the last few I've purchased. I have only worn them on the treadmill 4-5 times, but fear they are too late to exchange :( Disappointed to spend so much on shoes that are ill-fitting. I love Brooks but sometimes I'd love things to just stay consistent!!

Its a really light weight yet stable shoe. My only problem so far is that the tongue inseam really rubs on the top of my foot; making it constantly feel like the laces are too tight.
