The fit is overall the same as the 20. The upper is old-school. I feel like I'm wearing, maybe a 14 or before, but still wide toe box, good comfort. I'm so happy the shoe laces are back to holding when tied. The ones in the last few versions were awfuluntied every run, even with a double knot. The back heels were slightly bulkier but I don't notice it while running. Overall, great shoes as usual! Note: I am getting a black toenail after just 2 weeks. I hadn't had one since they changed the upper a few years back.

Comfortable with good support. Previously had Glycerin 20 and the laces were horrible, constantly coming untied. The Glycerin 21 has different laces and they are much better.

This is an upgrade from the GTS 20 I usually purchase. The GTS 20 are super comfortable but they made the Gyerin 21 even better ! If you have foot concerns, are on your feet a lot or do a lot of walking this is the shoe.

These are my goto for running. I like to walk/run and these are best for running. I'll add this to my rotation!

I finally found the almost perfect sneaker! My only wish is that it had a little more heel-toe drop and slightly less bounce in the cushion to keep my feet stable - but I can cure that with an insert.

Great fit and comfortable right out of the box. I have had many Brooks and this didn't disappoint. Just what I expected.

I've got awful feet and was nervous about my upcoming vacation- antici spring walking 5-8 miles a day. These were so comfortable that they contributed to a fantastic vacation! So cushy , supportive and roomy. Love em!

Very comfortable and they look good too! Still want a black on black with small pink trim. I have it from a few years ago and love it but can no longer find. It's the ghost line

I have worn glycerins for many years, this is overall the must cushion ever. Tighter in the toe box and good fit around ankles. I haven't been disappointed with any Glycerin and love the changes. Planning some long runs soon and excited to see how my feet feel. They feel great after a few 5 and six milers!

I've been wearing the Glycerin for the last 10 years and these are my favorite pair yet. They seem to run a touch smaller than other pairs I've had, but are a supportive and comfortable shoe!

I love my new Brooks sneakers. They are super comfortable. I'm not a runner but for everyday wear they're great. I love the teal and black color. I also got them. In the solid black.

I tried these on in another store and went online and purchased the color I wanted immediately! These are perfect for me they are so comfortable and cushy on my feet! I sized up which I recommend. I'm usually a 9 and got a 9.5. Would buy another pair of these 10x over and will be buying another pair of the exact same kind when these wear out. These were bought for my nursing shoes 10/10

The Brooks Glycerin 21 are true to size, width and style as well as comfortable! The color didn't go quite right for my uses so I'll be returning them.

Great cushion with roomy toe box, stylish sneaker. I do need more supports for my feet, so choose GTS instead.

I normally wear a straight size 8 in other dress shoes/boots. However, for walking shoes, I always order up a whole size. Size 9 fits comfortably!
I'd also recommend:
I tried the Hoka Bondi 8, the toe area was too large and I got a callous on my left big toe.

Such a smooth and comfortable ride. I first tried these on the treadmill and wasn't quite impressed. I almost returned them until I tried them on the road and wasn't quite impressed! They are so comfortable and it made each step feel nearly effortless. I love them!

Like walking on a cloud. Lots of room for a broader foot that's not quite wide enough for a wide shoe.
