Excellent cushion, a great secure fit (better than v.20), and looks good.

Thank you for the re-design of the Glycerin, its amazing. Ive worn glycerin models before and this is by far the best. Im a personal trainer on my feet all day long as well as an athlete who runs, weight trains, and boxes. This shoe holds up through my brutal workouts and the support is just what I need for my Mortons neuroma and hammer toe. (Also love the sleek look of the sneaker.) This is a shoe athletes will want to wear. Ill be referring this shoe to all my clients.

Love love love! Best Glycerin yet. Super light and cushy making it perfect for distance training. Im also loving the colorways and cant wait to see what new colors come out.
My only disappointment is that the heel of the shoe doesnt fit well in the heel cup of a rower. Using these shoes for Orangetheory, this comes up pretty often. Its workable, but not ideal.

Love the Glycerin for running. These shoelaces were better than the previous ones on the last pair of Glycerins that I wore which frequently came undone.

I have worn Brooks Glycerine GTS for a few years and love the cushion. I work in a hospital and I am on my feet for 8 1/2 hours a day on covered concrete floors. My feet and legs dont hurt as bad as they do with other shoes.

Ive been a fan of Glycerin and cant believe they made it even better than it already was! Absolute best, most comfortable shoes Ive ever worn and so many options of colors.

Ive been wearing Bondis for years but needed something that wasnt so stacked. I found these to be very comfortable and perfect for my wide feet & orthotics. I normally wear a 9 but a 9.5 would have been better. The problem is in the toe box. It feels like the support ends just before the toes. Like a drop off. A really odd sensation. Otherwise, it would be perfect shoe. Unfortunately Ive seen similar feedback on both pairs of Brooks that were recommended to me. My search continues..

Love them! Ive been wearing Brooks for 2 years. Started with Ghost (1 pr) went to Glycerin 20s (2 pr) and went to glycerin 21. This is the best yet. Great cushion, sturdy and perfect fit. Will be getting another pair to rotate.

Love these shoes! I have very wide feet and these fit really good. They are extremely comfortable. Im not a runner, but they are great for walking. I bought 2 pair in 8W. and would love to get more colors. The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is because they are expensive , but the quality is there!

Had to return the shoe. Toe box too smalll, caused blisters after one run on both feet. Very disappointing. Hadn't run in Brooks for years.

I am sorry, but I have to lodge a complaint. The Glycerin 19 was the perfect shoe. The foam had a perfect level of shock absorption that allowed me to wear it all day on concrete flooring and not experience pain or fatigue.
I have worn out my two pair of the 19s and have since tried to move into the new models. They do not provide the same level of shock absorption and thus cause me to have bad back and hip pain.
I am at my wit's end, as I now have tried the 20, 21, the Ghost Max, and the Revel 6, and none of them are as good a shoe as the Glycerin 19. I keep just going back to that shoe and hoping it can last until I find something comparatively comfortable.
I implore Brooks with all my heart to please revert back to the foam consistency of the 19. Adding more foam does little good if that foam is not as flexible. The new shoes are simply too stiff in the sole.

Ive never experienced a shoe SO comfortable for my 12 hours days on my feet as a Nurse. I was loyal to the Ghost for so many years never brave enough to venture out and Im so glad I did. These shoes are amazing. No longer have plantar fasciitis, sore heels, aching feet. Best nursing shoes ever!!

Plain and simple I love the Glycerin shoe. They fit well, the cushion is amazing, and they last if you take care of them.

Love love love the color (Im pink obsessed), but love the fit also. Im plus size and almost got wide but they didnt have the pink in wide, so I got the regular fit and they still are comfortable. Ive had a few pairs of shoes in other brands in wide and they were still too tight to get my feet in. They feel so light on the feet.

I like the cushion in the heels, but it still needs more arch and front support. There is a problem with the toe area breaking down and rubbing my big toe. I don't know if that is a manufacture defect or not, but I've had to return two different pairs of them for that reason. I'm trying the Adrenaline next to see if they are any better. I'll let you know.

The bottoms of these have completely worn off. So strange as Ive never had that issue with Brooks before. I used to love Glycerins, but these dont work for me.

Ive been wearing brooks ghosts for about 10 years and have ordered the same size for those 10 years. I ordered the same size in the glycerin and they were way too small. Im not sure why the sizing between the two types of shoes are so different but I had to return them.

Glycerin 21 mens 10 wide: the best all around shoe I ever worn ! Super cushy, fit it awesomely perfect ! I bought and extra 2 pair I like them so much ! One directly from Brooks and one from a sports store because Brooks was out of stock on my size !
