Customer Reviews Brooks Glycerin 21

For some reason this model rubs on my pinkie toes - it has never done that. I've tried different socks but it still rubs on both toes. My foot width hasn't changed (not pregnant, didn't gain weight) and the Adrenalines still fit like they should, but these are tight on the toes. Super comfortable, love the color, love the cushion, and I'll still wear them for shorter distances, but they're not going to be in my rotation for long runs.

I have worn the Glycerin for many years. Its a great shoe.

First of all, the color. I got the limited edition pink one and it looks EXACTLY like the picture. Such a gorgeous pink color I am obsessed. Second, the comfort. I wore these and ran in them for the first time in a half marathon (would not recommend not a smart move) and my feet felt good for almost all of the run. A lot of bounce and support and overall comfort. Your feet do not sink into the cushion which is what bothered me about my old shoes. TDLR; is a great shoe, would buy it again.

They wasnt as comfortable as my first two pairs.

I have worn Glycerin as my favorite shoe since Glycerin 17. But this version doesnt fit me well. My foot is too tall for the shoe (high arch) and so the top of the shoe where the laces begin is uncomfortably tight and pressing into the top of my foot. Too uncomfortable to wear.

These have quickly become my go to shoes for my easy runs. I love the cushion, and the over all feel of these shoes!! I look forward to purchasing more in other colors!

I love how they feel! So comfy

I got these sneakers for running and an upcoming trekking trip. I have high arches and my orthopedist recommended the Brooks Glycerins. I loved the 20s and had high hopes for the 21s, but where the tongue is stitched to the shoe is extremely tough and bulky compared to the 20s. With each step it hits into the top of my foot, and causes extreme pain after mile 4/5. I have tried different methods of softening the stitching and fabric without much success. Im really bummed, as they are super cute and also $$$, but they are painful as a primary running or even walking shoe. I wish I could just return them and buy a second pair of the 20s, but unfortunately Ive tried too hard to break these sneakers in.

I love these shoes with the exception of the tongue constantly migrating to the outside. I wish you could correct it.

I loved the Brooks Glycerin 20 shoes, but the Glycerin 21 shoes have a thick tongue with a seam at the end that made the top of my foot hurt, so I can't wear them...I'm so bummed.

Great running shoes! Great for walking too. Very cushiony and comfortable. I have feet issues and these are wide enough without ordering a wide size. Great shoes so far!

Great cushion and super comfortable. I run anywhere between 5-40 miles a week and these are my go to every time!

These are the most comfortable shoes I have had ever! No break in period, they are comfortable from the start. I bought a medium width that rubbed my foot, so I returned them and bought the wide. They are day and night, really great. The return was painless. I also bought a pair of Adrenalin GTS 23 and they are great too, not as much cushion, still amazing shoes. I am a Brooks customer for life after these purchases. I would only suggest to Brooks Running please making more of the cool colors for wide sizes we like the bright colors too - Love these shoes!

this company was suggested to me by my sister. i told her i am on my feet all night long at work. hte sneakers are ok, but, i feel that one foot is slightly smaller than the other. i still feel the same as any other shoe i have tried, working on my feet.

These definitely werent the shoe for me. Even getting a wide width they were very tight across the top of my foot. I thought I could just get used to it but at the end of a 12 hour shift on my feet I just wanted to cry. Thankful for the amazing Brooks return policy and was able to return them even after wearing them for a couple weeks (hoping to adjust to them).

Im so upset these didnt work for me. I absolutely love the all pink color way. Im a nurse and had to change my shoes half way into my shift. Theres thick stitching that dug into the top of my foot causing pain and discomfort.

I like the Ghost Max. Bought Glycerin for color. But very comfortable

BEST Glycerin ever! Just the right amount of cushion and love the wider toe box. Please make a simple basic all over gray. Love the Glycerin 21!!!

I love my Glycerin 21. My Podiatist recommended these for my Achilles Tendonitis. I have worn Brooks for 10 years. This is my first time with Glycerin and I will continue to buy these

The wide base has helped with my overall balance. These are incredibly comfortable with just the right amount of support and room in the toe box to not feel confined in my shoes. Utilizing the islet loops were handy with the lower heel area, no heel slips! I mostly wear these for long, fast paced treadmill walks (with and without incline for distances) and errands for the last couple weeks. Very happy with these!

The toe box is a little smaller in width and tighter on my toes. Shoes are very cushiony and comfortable, but are still burning/hurting a little on my feet during longer runs. It has been improving, they just seem to have a longer break-in period than my Adrenalines did. Overall, they are very nice, but I can't say they're my favorite Brooks shoes.

I've worn Glycerins for probably 17 years, and I love them; however, the new style, Glycerin 21, fits so differently. The size I normally wear, which I've never had a problem with the Brooks fit before, is too small. My toes feel like they're at the tip top of the toe box, and I feel like my foot is too far out of the heel. I'm a bit disappointed. The two is for the look of the shoe, and color.

Love the feel of my Glycerins. So comfortable. Would like to see in more basic colors like black or navy.

Perfect style and comfort. They loook great. My 4th pair over the years!! Love the choices in colors too!!!
