Customer Reviews Brooks Glycerin 21

These are comfortable. They may have a little extra room in the toe box, but that is a feature that works well for me. The size runs true, in my opinion. I wear them for walking, so cannot speak for their comfort during runs. I would purchase them again.

The best shoe Ive ever had. Comfort is amazing. No aches or pains after I wear these all day. I have bad needs and have no discomfort after wearing/running in these shoes.

I love my Glycerins, I have Hokas also and these are by far better for outdoor running. It also helped my shin and calf pain. I highly recommend

I purchased these shoes for 12 hour nursing shifts. After wearing these shoes for a few weeks, I developed heel pain. I had to see a podiatrist because the pain wouldnt go away, even after switching back to hokas. Ive never had issues with shoes prior to this pair, so I deeply regret purchasing them.

I bought the Glycerin 21 in wide for my trip to Japan. They were amazing right out of the box and I didn't have any foot pain or issues the entire time (walking at least 5 miles/day). My only question is why are the wide (1D) in limited colors? Please give the wide option in more than black, white, and grey. 1D widths are very common in women and shoe companies need to realize this.

Still an ok shoe, but much bulkier than the 20s. The Glycerin 20s were my absolute favorite. The 20s offered a fantastic balance of firmness and cushion. These are just over the top with the cushion. The cushion also feels like it breaks down quicker than the 20s. I feel like I should buy another pair or two of 20s if Brooks keeps pushing this shoe into the over the top cushioning. I probably would not purchase these shoes again, but I would recommend buying the 20s while you still can!

The look is great, I got the pink ones. The toe box is wide enough for my feet. However, even with creative lacing the tongue of the shoe hits the top of my foot and can be uncomfortable. Honestly though I got these for the color so I primarily use them for walking and fashion, I wear the ghost series for runs because I find them more comfortable and the waterproof ones (only certain colors in ghost) are a life saver for hiking and trail running. All in all Ill get good use out of them. It just takes some creative adjustments so it does not press on the top of my foot. If you like HOKAs you will like these.

Great running shoe for treadmill, the cushioning is great for short and long runs. I would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a great running shoe that wont let you down.

Wanted to love these shoes, but had to return. The step in comfort was great, but I developed heel and ankle pain standing in these shoes. Im thinking its the new foam. Just too soft for my foot I guess. I wore the last version for work but now I will have to find a new shoe to make it through the day. So sad that this is no longer my go to.

I work in inventory and I am on my feet constantly for 8 - 10 hours and steps are between 15000 and 20000 per day, the Glycerin 21 are the BEST!! My feet do not hurt, even when I take them off and I have fallen arches!! Try them! You will NOT regret the purchase!!! Thanks Brooks! I wont wear any others!!!

This one is the keeper !!! I have tried several of the other styles , but I always fall back on glycerins. It has so much cushioning for hard concrete surfaces . I like the stability factor as well . Good shoe to add to rotation . Cool color as well !

Bought a pair of these to wear to work and I love them so much but the inside material has already started to come apart after not wearing them long at all and the sole is starting to come apart where its attached by the toe. They are so comfortable and I love the shoe itself but just wish the quality was a little better.

I am a die-hard Glycerin lover, but I hate to say that the comfort of these is not as great as the 20's. They feel like they fit tighter (for the same size) and the platform is getting pretty thick on them. Hoping once they break in more they will be better but out of the box, 20's are better for me.

So comfortable even running 16 miles i think they will be my new favorites running shoes

I LOVED the Glycerin 19, but the 21 is far better - I am buying another pair. This is the most comfortable shoe I have ever worn. Worth the price point.

Wonderful shoes I have arthritis and plantar fasciitis's. I have been wearing Brooks for about 5 years. Need more wide width please.

I have worn Brooks for 20 years and every time I plan to try something new, I end up with Brooks! I need more padding in the shoe now that Im older and these are perfect!. I feel supported and I love the cushion under my feet. I feel great after a run no aches or pains, in my knees or hips. Highly recommended.

This shoe came recommended to me by my Podiatrist. She gave me a few options for rocker style running shoes and I'm glad I chose these. So far they've been very comfortable and have relieved a lot of ball of foot pain I normally have when walking/running.

Cushioning is superb! Love the fit around my foot. Best shoe! Will get more!

I absolutely love this shoe! I bought every pair of Glycerin 19 until I was forced to try a new model. The fit is excellent and the cushioning is the real selling point.

I've had a few stress fractures in the metarsals of my right foot over the yeras, and I had difficulty finding good walking shoes that were comfortable. My feet love these shoes! They seem to provide just the right combination of cushioning and support all day long, and I look forward to putting them on each morning! Also love the white color, as they don't stand out like bright running shoes when I wear them with casual outfits.

Love this shoe! I wear it to teach my fitness classes

Love love love my new Glycerin 21 in black. Never had such a comfortable walking shoe!

Im now on my second Glycerin 21. I am not a runner, but I walk EVERYWHERE and my work as a physical therapist requires me to be on my feet all day while doing exercises with my patients. These and my 3 other Ghost Max-es are my saving grace. The cushioning is unparalleled - a prayer answered for my wide width, bunions, bunionettes, flatfeet and (healed) torn plantar plates. Returned my Hokas for these. I am a Brooks-head for life. Please be more inclusive with the wide widths, Brooks. We like teu fancy colors too!

I loved my Glycerin 20s so was anxious to try the 21s. Unfortunately I found them to to lack the stability and balanced support of my 20s. I think they are overly cushioned. I decided to return them and buy another pair of the 20s.
