As always Brooks does not disappoint! This was my first pair of Glycerins, after having multiple pairs of Adrenalines and Ghosts. They are extremely soft, comfortable, fit perfect and cradle my feet. I have multiple leg and foot problems and Brooks are the ONLY shoes my podiatrist wears himself and recommends to his patients. As will all Brooks you have to size up 1/2 size but that's no big deal at all. I couldn't ask for a better shoe than any model of Brooks.

I normally wear Glycerin's so I ordered a pair while they were on sale. Excited to receive them, but they were too big so I sent them back. Unfortunately, they were out of stock for a smaller size. Disappointed but will keep checking for my size!

I bought these as recovery day shoe to provide some extra cushioning to an aging body that has seen many miles, and they do the job perfectly. I tried a previous Glycerin model and didn't love it because it felt heavy and unresponsive, but this one is so much better! Much lighter than older models and with a touch of spring and firmness that makes for a nice ride. My only complaint is that they get pretty hot and sweaty, which isn't really a problem in northern US winter/spring, but it will be in the summer. I here the upper breathability is much improved in the Glycerin 22, so looking forward to trying that out in a few months.

Love the 21! My foot is wide in the front with a narrow heel and these fit perfectly. Roomy in the toe box and no slip heel. The cushioning is amazing. I loved the 20 and these are even better.

I reached a point where I thought every step I took was painful and just had to learn to live with it. Since wearing this shoe that is no longer the case.

I love these shoes! Brooks have consistently made the most comfortable shoes I've worn. I've been waiting to snatch these ones up, and I'm glad I did.

I love the comfort and cushioning of these Glycerin 21. They fit so perfectly, very true to size. Never again will I work out in the cardio class with another shoe. Turns are easy and there seems to be an added spring in my moves. Thanks for caring enough to ask how they are working out for me.

These glycerin sneakers are a perfect addition to the glycerin line. They are comfortable and cushioned so each step provides a great "bounceback" from the cushioning. I would have preferred to have a different colored shoelace. The black ones are too much of a contrast from the green of the sneaker. I probably will change them out for white laces.

I got these for my 94yr old Mom. This is her first pair of Brooks sneakers and she said she couldn't even tell she had shoes on. They are so comfortable.. I actually have a pair just like hers and I love them too... Thats all I wear is Brooks...

I currently have Achilles tendonitis. These shoes were great for creating easy movement and relieving pain.

If you are a fan of the Glycerin 20s, I think these are great. These feel very similar with a few changes. There is more stability in the front half of the shoe due to a wider platform. Definitely good for people like me who aren't very stable, but may not be for everyone. Definitely just as cushiony, maybe even a bit more. They don't feel any heavier than the 20s, but I do think they're a bit more bulky. I still wouldn't label them as a heavy shoe- they were great for my first half marathon last week! I'm usually an 8.5 shoe but all the Glycerins fit me best as a 9.

Great shoes! They have nice cushioning. Nice grip, I wear them on the treadmill. The inside of the heel is plush, hope this holds up. The only negative I have is I don't care for the wording on the inner sole. Thought it was a sticker but it's printed right on the shoe. I'm not a big fan of orange but it's only accents so I'll deal with it since it was a great sale price.

Wow! I didn’t realize how badly my feet hurt until I tried these shoes. Sweet relief! These shoes are light, supportive, and cute. These have improved my quality of life. Very worth the cost.

I walk/run 3-5 miles daily and LOVE these shoes for many reasons. The cushioning is wonderful and the entire fit just molds to each foot. Super comfortable. And, they look great!

Really helps standing all day at work and I like that the toe area is wider so my feet aren't squished

I'm not a runner, I'm a walker. The Glycerin 21 provides great support. I have narrow feet & these shoes fit just right.
