Customer Reviews Brooks Glycerin 21

It was a tight fit and I have a narrow foot. The soles felt too soft and not very supportive.

I was recommended Brooks shoes as a good support shoe for my foot pain. As soon as I received them and put them on, I realized that they were too narrow and too small for my foot, even though I ordered my normal size.

I prefer the Ghost vs this Glycerin 21. The Ghost fits my foot better

First off, I want to state that I love the Glycerin 20 and wear them every day. I tried to update to the 21s but they were a no for me. First time I tried to put them on I couldn't get my foot in them, too tight across the top. After struggling to get them on they felt too tight, and these were the wides! These were the exact same size and width as the 20s. After wearing them for the day, I noticed they rocked too much and my back ached that evening. Not sure I will keep these.So disappointed.

I'm a religious Brooks Glycerin wearer, my feet have some major issues and they've proven to be the best shoe for me for years. Unfortunately, the changes in design with the Glycerin 21's have led to me developing plantar's fasciitis in one of my feet, which is a bummer. I do love the bright colors of the shoe though (mine are the Cloud/Black/Pink).

It is comfortable with some nice cushioning, but sort of wobbles with support. I've noticed the sides of my ankles/achilles are sore when wearing these. They are also a bit too stiff.

I was disappointed when I took them to India as my go to sneaker. They pinched my big toe on both feet. I'll have to return them when I get home.

Ugh I've been loyal to Brooks forever but the updated designs every year get worse. These are too narrow and too short. I always take an 11 in Brooks(which is a size bigger than any other brand) and the seam at the toe box was so uncomfortable I couldn't walk in them. I can't imagine running because your toes would get cut up. 3 stars because the comfort of the footbed is there and the lavender color is perfection but sizing is small with this version

Too much change. I have worn Brooks for years in the same size. This order the shoes were too big. I'm not a fan of the "high heel" athletic shoe. Also something is different with the heal pad - they shred easily.

Overall good running shoes. They come with a black insole and have stained several pairs of socks.

I've been wearing glycerin for years and love them. Unfortunately the new design is not as comfortable. The cloth part tends to hit my foot higher so that rubs in spots and is perhaps a bit narrower. Much preferred the old style, it was such a winner and didn't need a makeover. I don't care for Hokait looks like you went towards that style. Please return to the old glycerin.

Not as cushiony as I have had glycerin's in the past.

I was excited to get the pink shoes and being on sale made it even better. Right away my shins and calves were not comfortable. Also not a big fan of the padded tongue. Felt like a lot chafing going on. Not sure why the tongue has to be so thick. Laces were oddly short. I hate when they're so long that the laces are all over the place. These could have been an extra 2" longer so I could double knot. I have the Glycerin Stealthfit 20 and those are light and cushy. The glycerin 21 felt clunky and not as soft as I anticipated. The Stealthfit are a bit too fitted in the hot weather. I thought the Glycerins would be soft and not so confining for the warmer months. Will give it a few more runs to see if feeling improves. If not I will go back to the Stealthfit.

Great shoe, but we need XXW in these! The sole is so soft and cushiony, but couldn't even get my foot into it. Way too narrow. The toe of the shoe tends to force the big toe to bend inward. Bought two pair of your Ghost shoes, but would love to have the extra gel in the sole like these. Brooks are the best!

I've had a hard time finding shoes that leave my feet feeling good after working 12 hours ( nursing), unfortunately these didn't cut it. My feet hurt at the end of the day so I'm sending them back. I'm grateful for the Brooks return policy. I've worn OC for the last year but they broke down pretty quickly.

I have been running and walking in Glycerins for several years and the 21's 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????

These are very comfortable, but only on dry roads. The completely mesh upper makes the shoe not only look huge, but any bit of water will cause the entire toe box to be wet. I ran 9 miles the other day with wet feet bc the roads were slightly wet, wasn't even raining, but a tiny bit of water caused the whole toe box to be wet making my feet wet. Being back the days of a "toe guard" at the end of the shoe to prevent this.
