Customer Reviews Brooks Glycerin 21

I usually buy glycerin 20 they were soooo comfortable I bought the 21 thinking it would be the same but half way thru my day my feet were killing me it was hard and not cushioned at all you should keep the 20

I'm a runner and I've worn brooks glycerin for years but I don't know what happened with the 21. I can't get past mile 5 with then. My feet are in agony. I thought they needed breaking in so I tried then for a few runs but no good. Others in the running group have had the same issues.

I have been wearing Brooks Glycerin shoes for about 15 years which were excellent until I got these Glycerin 21. I just returned these shoes as they hurt my right foot so much that I couldn't walk around the block without great pain. Sad day for me!!

This is my second pair of Glycerins, and I've really enjoyed my Glycerin 19's in size 8.5. The 21's are also very comfortable, but the 8.5 unfortunately, they feel too tight across the top of my foot, just below the top tongue and laces. There's a lot of padding in that area, and it's narrow and it's digging into my foot. I'm planning to return them for an 8.5 wide, hoping that will solve the issue without making the rest of the shoe too loose. Though, now that I think about it, maybe going up half a size would be better. Not sure what to do yet, but with their generous return policy, I guess I'll just try each option if needed.

Miss the original glycerin 20! These shoes gave me horrible corns and blisters. Very sad having to return them. Hopefully my feet heal soon. Absolutely loved the original glycerin 20! Maybe they will bring them back? Little scared to try now.

Loved the 20s. The 21s are more narrow and caused terrible pain in my pinky toes after only 30 mins of walking. It seems like maybe the rigid toe support that wraps around the front end might be bigger or longer than the previous version, or that the footbed was changed. Either way I'm incredibly disappointed that yet again a shoe company changes a perfect shoe for no reason and I have to yet again find a different model. Why do these companies do this??

These run small . In turn they are to small for me

I've owned almost every glycerin for 15+ years and these simply don't fit the same. They rub blisters every time I run, never happened before

I'm on my feet all day in a busy medical clinic. I really wanted to love these shoes, but the tongue makes blisters on my feet. I've started wearing my Launch GTS 10 again.

I returned my shoes which was frustrating to me. You seem to be making the toe box of your shoes larger and larger. Why change something that has worked for so long. I am going to be forced to go to another brand and I have worn Brooks for 10+ years!
