Customer Reviews Brooks Glycerin 21

I could immediately feel the new technology of the Glycerin 21's as soon as I put them on. Still feels like a neutral, responsive shoe but the new cushion/technology of the shoe makes running more comfortable and feels like you are cruising along quickly. I really like them a lot and have been running in Glycerins for over a decade. Best one yet!

Big improvements in cushion and forefoot room. Super supportive. Love better than the 20. Great colors available- keep them coming!

Glad to see the 21s are finally out! I like the blue color but as always I wish there were more color choices. I have been wearing Glycerins for years for running and now just daily walks, and they remain a very comfortable shoe. I wont try anything else for exercise. The new model is comfortable and sturdy. Note, I replace shoes every 3 months, as I take long daily walks and have dealt with plantar fasciitis in the past, so I never wear a shoe too long before starting over with a new pair. I remain a faithful fan of the Glycerin!

I like glycerin 20 even more than 19 and found for me 21s even better cushioning perfect Im more of 4 mile light hog most days but this gives me stability some bounce and nice cushion improved weight ( lighter) I like width of toe box, only picky comments -wish some more colors (though all black could become my work shoe) and Id like stronger laces Ive been a fan for a while and couldnt be more pleased thanks for not making me wait till march !

Absolutely love these shows!! Its like running on clouds! Feels amazing for my knees.

I love the Glycerine 21. I got the raspberry color which is kind of a pink color. I wear them for work in a hospital on concrete floors all day so I really appreciate the added cushioning.

I love these shoes, the cushion is amazing. They feel great.

I Have been a Brooks Glycerin fan since the 11s. Was not a fan of the 20s, however, seem too tapered in the toe area. But the 21s I am loving. Great support, soft but not like walking in sand. Quality is top notch. I am always a 9 1/2 standard with in all running shoes which is what I purchased in the 21s and are a perfect fit for me. I have also purchased the Stealthfit as well and it is just as good! Looking forward to purchasing other colors as soon as they are released.

These are by far the most comfortable and supportive shoes to have ever graced my feet. they are light as a cloud and provide the most incredible arch support. My only negative feedback is that they just aren't very attractive. If they could find a way to make them cuter i would live in them!

They are like walking on a cloud, so smooth.

I have tried several Brooks shoes but never the Glycerins until now. I was surprised at how light the shoe is despite it looking like it has a heavy sole. Has a really nice bounce and energy return with each foot strike that I didnt anticipate. When I first put them on I thought the toe box was a little snug but just wearing them around for a day really loosened them up to just the right feel. The fabric is the same great quality you can expect from the Brooks brand. My favorite thing about the shoe is how light and bouncy they feel. Makes for a very comfortable run.

I walk and run a lot and a comfortable shoe is very important to me. When I put these on, I felt like the shoes were hugging my feet. There is a lot of cushion on the bottom of these shoes. Although I'm no doctor, the foam platform curves up slightly to feel like I'm getting an extra butt workout when I walk. The only downside to the foam is from the top view, aesthetically, the shoes look a bit wide and chunky. The fabric on the base of the shoe is very high-quality, athletic and breathable. I ordered a size 10 and they fit perfectly. I would definitely suggest this shoe to anyone who wants a supportive and cushioned walking/running shoe that fits true to size!

I have been wearing Glycerin running shoes since the Glycerin 15. They are the best! I love the cushioning and support. I will be wearing my Glycerin 21s when the snow melts up here in the north country of NH.

As a personal trainer, I am constantly on the hunt for great shoes to enhance fitness training. The Glycerin 21 has great support and is one of the best athletic running shoes that Ive tried. Not only does it have great support, but it is also flexible and fashionable. I cannot recommend this product enough for anyone looking for comfort and support in their next pair of running shoes.

The Brooks Glycerin 21 running shoes are a great update to the comfortable, reliable Brooks Glycerin line. The added cushioning give them a soft, springy feel, which I really appreciate as a casual, longtime runner with cranky knees and finicky ankles. At the same time, they are lightweight with neutral support, so they don't make my legs feel heavy or alter my gait. Like many women, my feet are narrow at the heel and wider at the toe box. The Brooks Glycerin 21s fit me well overall - I appreciate that there was extra cushioning at the heel that helped keep my narrow ankles in, and that they flare a bit in the toe box so my toes aren't squished during my run. There is a little extra room around my foot at the arch, likely because my feet run narrow, but I was able to adjust the laces enough that it hasn't bothered me. I think they would fit an average-width foot really well. What I really appreciate most about running in the Glycerin 21s is that I don't notice them at all - they offer support and cushioning without feeling clunky or fussy, which is exactly what I want in an everyday running shoe. The lightweight mesh on the upper is breathable, perfect for running during warmer months or indoor workouts, though perhaps too cold for running outside during the winter. I received these in an all-black colorway, which is classic if a bit unexciting. I will be watching to see when Brooks releases more fun color options, at which point I may get a second pair to rotate with these ones. Until then, these are absolutely going to be my go-to running shoes.

Shoes are great!!! Most comfortable pair I have had in long time.

They have been by far the most comfortable running shoes. They provide just enough support while also being lightweight.

They are so comfortable, never get tired legs. My knees are getting better, everyone at work love my shoes. They are Worth it

I was looking for a new sneaker that I could walk and casually run in and these fit the bill. While they were a little snug when I first put them on and for the first few uses, Im hopefully they will stretch out with more wear. These sneakers provide great cushion and support which is something I prefer in a speaker. I wouldve preferred a matte finish to the sole rather than the shiny one. Personally I believe the shine makes them look less expensive than they are and that the matte would modernize them a little more. Overall, Im excited to add these to my rotation.

Immediately after putting these on, I noticed the support in my knees and hips and it was so comfortable. I am mostly running for fun but also to lose weight so the fact that it makes running more comfortable and stable for me at a higher weight is a huge plus. The fit is true to size and conforms to my feet well, if you have a wide foot I would recommend sizing 1/2 a size up. The only issue I noticed was the shoes rubbing on the back of my heel but once breaking them in I am hoping that issues goes away. The black color is very sleek and will match any outfit. These are my new go-to running shoes and will help me reach my fit was goals of 2024.

This shoe has a nice, wide toe-box, which I think is great for running. It gives your feet plenty of room when you plant. I also appreciate the extra cushion in the sole of the shoe; it decreases the impact when running on pavement. However, after wearing the shoe for some time, I notice slight discomfort across the bridge of both feet. The top is a little too narrow for my liking.

I have really been enjoying my Brooks Glycerin 21 running shoes. They are very comfortable and provide great support and stability. I ordered my normal size and it was a perfect fit. They are lightweight and breathable. I would definitely purchase these again in the future.

I decided to get the shoes in all black, and they look very sleek. I was quite so sure of the shiny sole but they were a lot lighter than I expected. I thought they would feel heavy but I barely notice them. I ran my normal 2.5mile route with them and they did great. It had just rained so the the ground was a little slippery and converted in leaves, but I had good traction. Also the toe box seemed roomy without being overly large. The laces were snug to my foot but didnt feel cramped. I would definitely recommend. I even wore them to work the other day and they were very comfortable.

I love these sneakers! I was currently in the market for new running shoes and wanted to change it up from my normal go to pair. Let me first say I am currently pregnant so extra cushion and support was necessary especially since I wanted to continue running for as long as I could, and these sneakers provided both! It feels great when landing and they are not heavy so if you enjoy sprints they will not weigh you down. The only thing I would change is the last shoe lace hole seems a tad to far over, I feel like it should be a little higher to use for extra support. As far as color, I tend to lean toward darker colors just because I do also run outside when its warmer so black or dark is always a preference just so I dont have to clean them as much. I would definitely recommend these sneakers and will be buying again in the future.

The toe box area is much stiffer than my other Brooks shoes, therefore not as comfortable.
