Customer Reviews Brooks Glycerin 21

Very comfortable! I tried the ghost max and I didn't like them, and the Glycerins are the perfect alternative for me. They're the perfect balance of cushion and bounce.

These are truly a step up from previous Glycerin models which I have worn all since the 11s. The 21 has what feels like a slightly lower drop and more cushioning from heel to toe. Whereas the last iteration felt good heel and front, this newer model has more cushioning in the middle. As a result, the cushioning is more controlled through the entire range of motion. Toe box is roomy and these are well made shoes. There are usually small adjustments among models but with this new extra layer of nitrogen infused foam, this is a significant upgrade over the 20s. If you loved past glycerin models and like the extra cushion , you will be pleasantly surprised by these.

I love this shoe. Im new to running more than 3 miles consistently a few times a week and noticed my knees were starting to hurt in my older shoes. Since running in the glycerin 21 that isnt the case anymore. These shoes have a lot more cushion than Im used to (previously ran in the Brooks launch) and a wider toe box; both on the pro list for me. If you want cushion then I would highly recommend! Already logged 30 miles in this new pair and excited for get more in.

While I like the Glycerin 21, Lots of comfort, but not for me. The shoe was toooooo wide for my narrow feet so I returned them for the Glycerin Stealthfit. I tried them on at a sports store and the sock made in the shoe was the fit I needed. If you have narrow feet consider this style.

Super comfortable for walking and running.

good shoes. good shoes. good shoes.

I absolutely love the Glycerin 21. The fit is true to size. They are very supportive and my feet feel great at the end of my day. This is my all time favorite Brooks. I love the summer melts design. Just purchased a second pair.

This is the best pair of Brooks Ive had. This is actually the 2nd pair of glycerin 21 Ive bought. I had a two level back fusion a year ago and this shoe has the absolute best support for me.

I love the cushion in this shoe. I do wish you had more colorful colors, and more to choose from in a wide width. It's a very comfortable shoe.

This Glycerin 21 fits well and is very comfortable. I bought the wide to allow for orthotics and it works well. Much better stability than Hoka's that I tried. should never have strayed from Brooks.

There is very little softness in the footbed which is why I tried them. I used another insert which helped.

Ive owned almost every glycerin for 15+ years and these simply dont fit the same. They rub blisters every time I run, never happened before

This is probably the tenth pair of Glycerin shoes I have owned over ten or so years. The Glycerin 20 didn't seem as cushy as I expected but I figured maybe I had been spoiled and my expectations were off until I tried on the 21 and there is no comparison. The Glycerin 21 is a big improvement and very comfortable.

Unbelievable. I've only had these shoes about a month and I love them. I think I've been running in Glycerins since about the 12th version and these are the best pair since my original pair. The cushion is off the chart and feels so good when I run in them. I was a little worried since I wasn't too excited about the past couple of versions but after just putting them on, I was sold. Have yet to get a blister on my big toe compared to last year's shoe but only time will tell. Will definitely be getting another pair. My only wish is that they would come in more vibrant colors.

The fit is off a bit compared to other Glycerin editions. I did like the feel of the landing when running, cushioning, yet spring. These made the top of my big toe sore. I am an 8.5 in literally everything, these were just too snug in that size and a 9, was sloppy. Not sure what caused the change, but makes me sad that I cant wear these, since Ive been wearing Glycerins for years

Love this shoe. Im on my feet all day and these shoes are the most comfortable Ive worn.

The step-in feel of this shoe is insanely comfortable, but I had a lot of trouble with the toe box. After 10 mi, I felt like I had a stress fracture in my toe. I didn't, but I was limping for days. The forefoot needs to be more flexible for my tastes. My GOAT is last year's Hyperion Tempo. I was looking for a recovery/easy distance option, but this is not it. Still LOVE Brooks - this was just the wrong option for me.

Love the updated 21! There is added support without loosing the comfort that I love with the Glycerin!

I have always been a Glycerin girl for years now. I tried the 21's a few months ago and ended up sending them back. Something didn't feel right with them I had shin splints real bad and seemed odd with a new pair of running shoes. I recently decided to try again because I can no longer find the 20s. The 21s are short. As soon as I put them on I said these are too small. I have always worn a 7.5 so I thought Brooks just sent me the wrong size. Nope they truly are just short. I tried running in them but my toes can not take the rubbing. My socks have holes on the big toes after my run yesterday. I am going to send them back and order an 8 hoping that helps. I love Brooks shoes. I love that you can pull them straight from the box and go run 10+ miles without issues.

Perfect shoe if youre on your feet all day. Im a pharmacist, and I stand approximately 10-12 every day. Ive been wearing the glycerin shoe for years, and this new style has not disappointed me one bit! The toe-bed is slighting wider than the previous style, and theres more support on the sole. The orange color combo is vibrant and fun, and they look so cute with jogger-style pants!

I have worn glycerin for 10 years and it seems like the quality of the shoe is just not the same. The fit is also different.

I did not like the toe drop which is too high I have been running in Glycerine 19 for many years it has a shorter toe drop which for me is much more comfortable

Best pair Ive ever owned! Got them today and went for a run immediately. Definitely built to last and I am so glad I splurged on these!!

Super comfortable as always! Love these shoes so much, they make my twice daily dog walks so much nicer. If I want to go for a jog occasionally, they of course work excellent. Great all around model!
