Customer Reviews Brooks Glycerin 21

Very comfortable. I have been wearing ghost 14 and loved them. But now I will only train ad run in Glycerin 21

These Brooks Glycerin 21 running shoes are so amazing and allow me to comfortably run each day. I love the rocker on the front of these shoes that helps propel me with each step. This makes it so much easier to me because I feel like I am gliding as I run. The shoes are breathable and have plenty of padding on them so my feet are comfortable and well protected. The nitrogen injected soles are thick and have just the right amount of grip on them. If you love to run or be active these are some of the best running shoes that I have tried. They are true to size and fit me perfectly. Great shoes I would recommend.

Ive tried several different running shoes over the years while training for a marathon, and these are by far my favorite. I struggle with heel to toe rolling movement as I have very flat feet, these shoes made a huge improvement. I have less leg fatigue during my runs and feel like Im moving faster. Even my occasional knee pain is gone. I love the design and all black coloring, Im not worried about my shoes getting dirty on my long runs anymore. I also love the wider toe area, Im very prone to ingrown toe nails and I think this will help a lot with preventing that. I did notice on a rainy day that my shoes felt a little slick on the pavement. Otherwise, these shoes are perfect and Im obsessed.

I've tried so many different sneakers, and I pretty much wear a different pair for each activity (work/casual/exercise). I work on my feet all day, and try to get about 3 miles of either walking or running in a day, usually while pushing a stroller. I've been wearing these for absolutely everything. They fit perfectly on my narrow feet and I haven't had any foot pain since switching. It's winter now and these are breathable but not cold on my feet. They have pretty thick soles so I don't feel the impact of the pavement, either. I'll definitely be getting another pair when these wear out, and it doesn't hurt that they look good, too!

I have had several pairs of Glycerins and these are the most comfortable yet. Cushioned and supportive.

I enjoyed that these have so much cushion and really help to protect me feet as well as support my legs and back. I do think that the design is a bit too trendy for me with the really thick heal height. All black was a little bit boring as well and made me feel like I was working at a place that requires all black shoes, rather than having stylish running shoes. I think that the fabric is really solid and will last a long time. It seems really durable. I liked how much cushion that these have but wish they didnt look so over the top because Im not sure how much Ill wear them out of the house as a fashion statement.

The moment I slipped these shoes on my feet, I knew I was going to be a Brooks customer for life. These shoes have the perfect amount of cushion, support and tread. -- Fit is perfection, sizing is true to size and the width is also true to size. The profile of the shoe is sleek, I feel stylish while running/working out which sometimes is a trade for comfort. The fabric is conducive for many different weather trends. Where I live, we get rain, cold, snow, etc. I feel comfortable enough wearing these shoes in all different types of weather without compromising their fit or structure. In a sporadic climate, that is a treat! What I like the most is the comfort and overall fit. As I mentioned earlier, sometimes within a running shoe, one or the other is compromised. This shoe embodies both a strong fit and comfort while looking good and stylish. In addition to running, I utilize these shoes for everyday wear as well. The additional support and profile works well in versatile environments. My new go to sneaker for both running, working out and leisure.

As an active mom with two busy kiddos, finding comfortable and reliable footwear is non-negotiable, and the Glycerin 21 women's running shoes are an excellent option for comfort and wearability. The shoes fit true to size, and the abundant cushioning makes it feel like you are walking on clouds. During a recent family vacation, these were my go-to shoes, and my feet (and consequently, my entire body) felt fantastic throughout the trip. The all-black design might not be my usual preference - I usually lean towards a pop of color or some white accents - but this is a solid choice if you're after a sleek, completely black shoe. One of my favorite features is the shape of the sole, which encourages smooth and stable transitions. I also like that the fabric is soft and breathable, so my feet are always at the right temperature. The one complaint I have is that the sole is thicker than I typically prefer, which gives the shoes a rather bulky appearance, but as I've mentioned, the comfort that the extra cushioning provides is lovely. Overall, these shoes are superb for anyone seeking comfortable, breathable, and reliable footwear, and they are an excellent option for my active lifestyle.

I really didnt think the Glycerins could get any better. But the Glycerins 21 are far superior . The upgrades for added comfort is definitely a plus ,and can be felt immediately. Stability in heel is perfect along with wide toe box . Only downside is more color choices for wide feet .

I'm a vet tech and work 10-12 hour shifts 4 days a week. I'm on my feet all day. I've been wearing Glycerin's since the 16 model with the 20 model being the perfect shoe IMO. Unfortunately, the 21 is no where close to the goodness of the 20. The 21 is hard, uncomfortable, and the toe box is just weird for me. Hurts my heart & my feet

This is a super comfortable shoe for running. Great fit, lots of cushioning to absorb impact. I like that the shoe is all black, but would love the design to be a little more streamlined. Im a size 6 and the shoe (while a perfect fit) appears large on small feet, perhaps due to the amount of protective cushioning.

The Glycerin 21 shoe is a very lightweight running shoe. The sole is responsive and has good grip for quick movements while doing cross training workouts. I found the fit around my ankle and heel to be too stiff and uncomfortable, that it dug in after extended wear. However, the sole provided a good amount of support and cushion, as I prefer a running shoe with substantial cushion to prevent any knee pain. Lastly, the mesh fabric is very breathable. In all, this running shoe has a lot of standout features but the discomfort around my ankle will prevent this from being my every day workout shoe.

I absolutely love these shoes! They are my new go-to running shoes whether inside the gym or outdoors running. I use them for training but also for casual walks and even at the gym for strength training. The comfort level is 10/10. Typically after long runs I have to ice my feet even with the most comfortable shoes but in these my feet were living life to the max!! The width is perfect! The cushion underneath is so comfortable and feels so nice and bouncy on any terrain. I absolutely love the fabric because it could withstand any weather conditions. I love the chic black color because it works with any of my work out wear. The design is cute which is tough to find with wide shoes. This shoe is perfection in my book! I would change nothing about it. My mom borrowed them for a long walk and she absolutely loved them too. I of course made her return them to me because I wear them regularly.

These shoes are a dream! They have great support, but still feel like walking on a cloud. I was able to walk 3 miles on the treadmill right out of the box, no break-in time needed. The all black shoe is sharp and matches everything. I would definitely purchase another pair of these shoes!

The cushion on the heel is wonderful, these are my favorite brooks yet. Very pleased they come in all black. Top is well ventilated, a plus for some but fellow cold feet folks be advised. I wear them daily for work and also running (she's not made of money, kids) and you can hardly see or feel any wear. I wore down my last pair of brooks to holes and no tread and it took 4 years. I have every reason to believe these will last longer until their demise.

I have been running and walking in Glycerins for several years and the 21s are awful, the shoe strings are cheap , the toe box on these shoes are too big and the tread on the shoes wear off after only a month.what happened with this model????

Love them! My new go-tos. Cushiony but not enough to absorb my foot and also give a little bounce.

I ran with them already and it feels like you are on the clouds!!!

They have been by far the best tennis shoe that Ive ever purchased. After standing for long periods of time, my feet, legs, nor back hurts. This shoe is very comfortable and supportive. If I had to imagine what walking on a cloud felt like, the glycerin 21 is it.

This is probably my 4th or 5th pair of glycerins, and I have worn them out every time. Usually, I use inserts for added comfort, but I thought I would try these out without them to start. I was actually quite shocked by the lack of support offered. It was hard for me to walk in them without feeling like I was rolling in. I did not even try working out in them until I put the inserts in, and then I experienced better stability. Having a shoe that is near the 200$ price point with tax that doesnt offer at least a modicum of arch support seems a little ridiculous. I will likely search for a different shoe next time around.

I have been running for years and these are by far the best along with the Glycerin 20's. I trained for a marathon last year and bought 4 pairs to rotate during the training. It made all the difference. When the 21's came out I automatically bought them. I just got back from running a marathon relay in the Bahamas and ran in them. TOP NOTCH! Way to go Brooks! I have been waiting on shoes that are perfect for me and these are the ones. Please do not ever discontinue these shoes. If you do, please notify me so I can buy all of them. LOL

I feel like it has too much cushion. Want to love them!

Not nearly as comfortable as the original glycerins maybe a bit more cushion but the width is way more narrow even for the wides my toes were squeezed please restock colors in the originals!

Im only a brooks runner and these glycerin are in my rotation of road running shoes along with the Ghoast. The support is amazing and great for longer runs. Fits true to size, actually I wear the same size in all the brooks shoe Ive ever ran in. These have a great bouncy feel to them when running. Definitely a 10/10.

Love my shoes, what a difference, usually when there is a change in a shoe model most often its not as good as it predecessor. This shoe is an exception, the toe box is nice and wide giving my toes plenty of room to expand, and the heel is supported very well. I have bad feet, mostly from running in army boots earlier in my life, because you know you were invincible then, lol. So I appreciate the upgrade on making the shoe more comfortable, thank you. My only request would be to make more of your shoes available in wides for women, sometimes I have to buy mens shoes to get the width I need.
