The most comfortable shoe I have ever worn. I have very sensitive feet and these are amazing. The upper fits like it was made for me!
I do wish the Glycerin was a 5-6 mm drop. I cant walk any distance as the drop bothers my forefoot.
I use it mostly for daily errands and shopping.

If i could give more stars I would! This shoe is lightweight and comfy. I got the 8 wide size. It was perfect. the wide option is amazing!! I first ordered a pair of on cloud sneakers, and they were so painful and narrow ( even sized up) I returned them for these, and couldnt be happier.

These are even more comfortable than the Glycerin 20's. My new favorite are the 21's!
and love the color-deep blue-navy.!

The Glycerin 21 is my 8th pair of Brooks running shoes in the last 2 years. If I'm being honest, the Glycerin 20 GTS is my least favorite pair ... I took a leap of faith and purchased the new Glycerin 21s because I liked the royal blue color. Let me tell ya, BEST decision ever! They have quickly become my favorite pair, I LOVE how soft and responsive they are, and unlike the Glycerin 20s, they don't put pressure on the ball of my foot. The wide width feels like it was custom made for my foot, I just love them.

I have numerous pairs of these and different styles and these are my absolute favorite and they are absolutely the most comfortable ever will definitely be buying another pair. Would love to see them in hot pink and maybe lime green great for running.

I LOVE these Glycerins!! I have been wearing Glycerins since like the 16s but could NOT wear the 20s. I only do brisk walking for excercise, so I don't know all the runner terminology, but these shoes are perfect for my bad knees and hips! They provide just the right combination of support and cushion. They keep my joints stabilized, whereas the 20s somehow caused too much "movement" in my stride and joints, causing pain. The 21s have a perfect, roomy toe box, but not too much room (for a medium width foot). Love the laces. Love them!

Ive been wearing Brooks tennis shoes for quite a while now. Ive never bought another brand, since I was introduced to them. With that being said, I had never been to a store that measures ones feet to tell them the best fit. I went back in the fall, and they told the best fit would be the Glycerin 21. I received my first pair for my birthday (February 1), and I loved them, so I bought another pair. Highly recommend them!!!

The old models of Glycerin were better!!! These are very soft and too much of rounded foam outside so there isn't much of a sole of a shoe. There is less arch support than previous editions by a significant amount. Top fabric is tighter. Bummed and disappointed :(

Just purchased 2 pairs of the glycerin 21 expected them to fit same as glycerine 20 but the height at the base of the laces is much tighter with my orthotics in them unfortunately. I dont think theyll break in unfortunately. I need to return them both

feel great on my feet, a little narrow but I have adopted to the fit. I have been wearing Hoka for a while and these Brooks serve my walking problems better. I highly recommend

Love the cushion, which my feet need. Like the sunburst color, though I changed the lavender shoestrings to red.
Glycerin 20 GTS 7 1/2 W fits me best, but Brooks offers almost no color selection in wide sizes. I had to get size 8 Glycerin 21 to get color. It doesn't fit as well. PLEASE OFFER COLORS IN WIDE. I am trying other cushion brands for color.

LOVE! I use on my treadmill running daily & at work. Very comfortable for on my feet all day at work. I like the ghost shoe also, but this just gives a little extra cushion.

I've been wearing the Glycerin exclusively since model 17. I wore the 21's for only a couple of runs, and they gave me an achilles issue. I saw an Orthopedic doctor for the issue, and she said she's had several patients complain of this model giving them the same issue. I've been buying up as many 20's as I can find trying to stave off the search for a new running shoe.

By far, the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned. I teach middle school and walk on tile all day, 5-7 miles. My feet were supported and cushioned.

They were gorgeous shoes, and I had high hopes at first, as the Glycerin 20 was my go-to shoe for many years. Unfortunately, I had to return the Glycerin 21 for two reasons:
1) The heel was much wider, and I have size 10.5 women's feet with a smallish heel. The Glycerin 20 fit perfectly, but my heel fishtailed back and forth in the Glycerin 21.
2) The support was too much in the Glycerin 21 - I felt like I was walking on stilts.
I could have gotten used to the "too much support" issue, but my wobbling heel didn't work for me. I was sad to return them. I hate to be so picky about shoes!

I bought these shoes for work. I'm on my feet 12 hours a day with feet pain. These shoes helped relieved the pain I usually get on the balls of my feet and calves after a 12 hours shift. These are the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned and I love it!
