Have them in black, but wondering why you don't make the white ones available in wide width?

They fit perfectly and are so comfortable. I have issues with my feet like plantar fasciitis, and I had a stress fracture in my heel and these sneakers provide great cushion for those areas. Would definitely recommend.

Ive been running since I was 7 years old and Im obsessed with these sneakers. They offer so much support. The most comfortable sneakers Ive owned and theyre PINK. Super light too. I love everything about them. Ive ran in new balance, ASICS, Nike, but these are my first brooks and Im in love. The way they look and feel on my feet. My husband will probably buy them in black because I cant stop talking about them. I even wear them to work, lol!!

I always buy a wide shoe, this wide was too wide and hurt my foot. After talking to someone at brooks she suggested trying a medium. I returned the wide got a medium. It did fit better, it hurt my arch so I have just been wearing it around the house to try to break it in. I have not worn it outside yet but I believe it will be ok now. It is very cushiony and that is what I like because I have foot pain. I am not a runner but I know running shoes are better than walking shoes. I have had many pairs of brooks shoes, they are the best shoes. It is just hard sometimes to get the right fit since there is not a store around to try them on and when they make a newer one it could fit different

I am not a runner, but I must say that the Glycerine 21 are more comfortable than I imagined. I started with the Glycerine 17's and loved them. I did not, however, like the Glycerine 20's. I wear mine for everyday wear, as my feet need a lot of comfort and padding. These do meet my expectations. I also love the Ghost Max. These 2 are my favorites. I am glad that Brooks listened about the Glycerine 20's and changed the 21's. I love that there is more cushion. I felt that the 20's heel and arch area were not good for me.

I have found the Brooks Glycerin is my go to running/walking shoe. The new Glycerin 21 did not disappoint. Literally like walking on clouds. Plenty of room in the toe box. 10/10 highly recommend!!!

If you like a speedy but soft shoe, go with the stealth instead. This one feels big and clunky. Great for walking around and standing, but if like a cushioned but fast trainer, this is not it. Back to the stealth for me; just wish they had better colors.

My new favorites. I didnt think the Glycerin 20s could be improved on because they are so comfortable, but these 21s are my new favorite.

From the moment I tried these shoes on, I loved how they felt! I have had achilles tendinitis several times over the years, as well as forefront foot pain more recently. These shoes provide just the support I need. I wear these to work where I am on my feet for 8+ hours straight, I wear them to the gym, and I wear them for runs on the paved road. Definitely worth every penny!

I walk 5-7 miles every day and have been wearing Glycerins since the Glycerin 10. All feet are different but for me - these are THE best. Nice roomy but not loose toe box, great arch support, like walking on a pillow! My only complaint is that sometimes they come with the flat nylon (slippery) laces that won't stay tied without a double knot! I went through 3 pairs of the 20's and one had the slippery laces. The new 21's have the good laces that stay tied. Please only use those and keep the fun colors coming! But mainly maintain the great structure of this shoe. I love them! BTW - I used to have a rotation of different brands. Now I just rotate 3 pairs of Glycerins! Nothing else really compares for my feet!

The glycerine 19s were my perfect shoe. But 20s didnt work, gave me foot pain. In the 21 model, the toe box is a little wider, which is good for me, but the heel is also wider, which is no good. Brooks used to be perfect for those of us with narrow heels and wide toes. Alas not here. The heel drop is lower, which is bad for me, and the run felt so mushy, with no spring in the soles. I like a cushy run but these just felt heavy, and I got shin splints immediately. Hoping things will be better next year

I had high hopes, but this sneaker didn't work out for me. I have a wide foot and hammer toes.
The sneaker width was acceptable, but the height of the toe box was too shallow. I sent them back.

I only just switched from asics to Brooks in Dec with the glycerin20. I love them so I bought the 21s too to have a couple on rotation for a long run I've got coming up in the summer. I didn't like the 21s as well. There was a spot at the top above the shoe strings that felt bulkier and rubbed on my foot. They felt a little shorter than the 20s. And I didn't want the extra cushioning. I'm trying to reduce my cushioning. So I returned them and bought another pair of 20s. I never ran in them

After a bimalleolar break of my left ankle, I have had ankle and foot pain, and my left foot tended to drift outward when I walked or ran. This shoe corrects my stride- my feet stay forward now! On top of that, it is EXTREMELY comfortable. The wider base means more stability, so I am less likely to roll an ankle again. Each step feels springy but cushioned. I LOVE THIS SHOE!
