I love the support the Glycerin offers as I am working to get back to running post partum- excellent cushioning without feeling too soft.

These are the comfiest walking shoes I have ever owned!! I wear 8Wide and they fit as expected. They also make me 1-2 inches taller.

These might be the most comfortable shoe I've put on right out of the box. Depending on the brand, I can be a 6 or 6.5. The 6 was too tight so I sized up to a 6.5 and the shoe fits perfectly. I bought these as a treat to myself for getting a new job:) they will be perfect for working in a hospital.
The colors are cute, and I like the overall appearance of the shoe but the heel does bubble out a bit making my feet look a little wide. Overall I love it.

Love the new glycerin. I have been wearing them for a few years and I was worried about a new version. The shoes felt lighter but also provided the cushion that I love. Can't wait for new colors to come out!

I highly recommend this shoe! I have had this pair for a few months and already ran several miles in them with zero problems.

I have recently struggled with finding a shoe that is both responsive, has a wide enough toe box, yet provides the cushion for longer miles. I was a Brooks fan for years prior before going to another brand and now I am back. Thanks to the glycerin 21. Loving this shoe!

Midsole drop is too high. Feet hurt within 20 minutes of standing in the shoe. Cushion not as soft as advertised.

The shoe seems higher around the ankle as prior versions. Hence my ankle hits the shoe frame and gets blisters at around 15ish miles.

The Glycerin has been my go-to marathon shoe for a LONG time. I have been so disappointed in the last few versions of them that they keep getting returned in hopes that the next version will go back to what I used to love. Sadly this one disappoints as well. I have been a loyal Brooks wearer for almost 2 decades and the last few years with all the changes have had me trying other brands.

Instant pain relief from my feet, knees and lower back. Im always on my feet at work, and decided to try these shoes out. These did not disappoint! I love whenever I walk, theres a little bounce. Will be buying again once the time comes!

I ordered 7.5 in wide and they were so tight and uncomfortable. Not actually a true wide running shoes. My feet hurt after wearing them. Had to return.

I think I love these the best! Ive always worn Ghost. Im a nurse and on my feel 13-14 hours a day. The Glycerine model gives great support with feels like Im walking on marshmallows.
The flair on the sole makes your foot look a little wider, but the comfort makes up for it.

Too narrow, even the wide doesnt match the size I used to wear. I used to be 7.5M, on this I have to order 8W which I did not. Brooks make the shoes narrower and narrower with every new model.

The new model is very comfortable, however slightly more room overall. The overall look is much larger in size, not as attractive as previous models.They are like walking on clouds..

Live the cushion and bounce as well as the stability. I have HEDS and my joints require a lot of extra stability when I run. Glycerins have been my go-to for awhile, one of my favorite Brooks styles and have run many miles with me. They are well made and wash well.

The best shoe ever! I have Mortons Neuroma and PF. I am a CNA and on my feet all day. These are my daily shoes. They dont hurt my feet! They are cushiony. Roomy toe box. Not big and bulky. Love them! Looks cute with leggings.

I loved my Glycerin 20s so I thought I would love these but they just fell short. The fit is true to size but they feel hard and not cushioned enough for my heels.

Very comfortable but the large sole seemed to nearly trip me up by catching on my inner aspects of my feet while walking. Hard to explain but I feared falling. Brisk walker not a runner.

I pre ordered these and was so excited for them to get here before the 2/1 release date. I got the orange color, which I LOVE. I really enjoyed the Glycerin 20 and was excited for the new version- they did not disappoint. The toe box gives a perfect amount of space and the heel fits well. My foot is not moving around any amount that is noticeable to me. They have been great for longer distances both indoor and outdoors. Although, as a newer runner, long distance to me is 4-6miles. I love them and will probably buy another color in the months to come!

Let me start by saying Im not a runner. But I do walk 5-6 miles every morning. I loved my Glycerin 20s, have 2 pair (wore them out). Also have Ghost Max. Preordered 2 pairs of the 21s, love the new colors, got the hot pink and the orange. Received them 2 weeks early. Wore a pair this morning and my feet are loving the cushioning, felt like I was walking on springs. Super comfortable, light, but sturdy.
