I bought these shoes about 5 months ago and find them to be very comfortable and durable. Coming from the Glycerin GTS 20 I feel that the 21's are just a tad firmer but with a thicker midsole, which makes these shoes excellent if you pronate (moderately) and carry extra weight. I have several other brands of shoes in my rotation, but I always come back to the Brooks Glycerin 21 when I need something reliable.

I purchased the Brooks Glycerin GTS 21 to replace my Brooks Ghost 15 shoes I wore all last year. I did a lot of hiking on paved and/or groomed trails with the Ghost 15 and found the cushioning to be too thin for me in the forefoot, especially as they aged. The Brooks Glycerin GTS 21 solved that problem. The cushioning is great! It provides great support and is not too soft. I also appreciate having slightly less drop in the Glycerin. I don't have very many miles on the Glycerin yet so cannot comment on longevity, but I can say they are very comfortable. One additional note, these shoes do seem to be on the wide side of normal. My foot is slightly wider than "D", and these fit great! The more I wear them the better they conform to my feet. Thank you Brooks and Zappos!

Ultra light shoe. Coming from wearing Brooks Beast 20. Slightly less support in the footbed...but very comfortable. I have over-pronation...and the Beast 20 is slightly better in stability...but also slightly heavier and firmer.

Brooks are the best.

These shoes are the perfect pair for everyday. Lightweight, supportive, and are great for just walking around. I know these are supposed to be running shoes, but for someone like me with mobility challenges - these are just wonderful.

Very comfortable. Love the color (Cloud/Black/Gold) and style. Nice wide toe box and lots of cushion and support. I prefer the stable fit of the Glycerin GTS models over the regular Glycerin as I struggle with inward pronation of my left foot. These work well with the CADENCE EX insoles I purchased at a local shoe store. I am a female and purchased the Men's 10D. It is my understanding that size should correspond to the Women's 11W, but I find men's shoes fit my feet better and I have an easier time finding the appropriate size for my large foot in men's shoes especially when shopping locally.

Was looking for a more "long distance", recovery shoe with more cushion but same support than my Launch GTS 9's...well, these shoes where the answer! Just what I needed for my long distance, "steady state" type of workout runs. THANK YOU BROOKS! And thank the engineer that made these :)

I previously had the Glycerin GTS 19, and I feel like the GTS 21 fits very similarly, with improved cushioning. Very happy with my purchase so far.

These are absolutely wonderful! They fit perfectly and the cushioning is great. I substituted orange laces for the original blue just to add a little more color.

I absolutely love these sneakers. Every time that I try to wear a different company sneakers my knees just hurt like you know what so when I switch back, it's amazing how much better I feel.

Haven't taken the Glycerin GTS 21 for a spin as yet (bad weather) but my impression from a try on and walking around the house is: Extremely comfortable, cushy in fact Supportive Fit is true to size Coconut color is different without being garish

I have been running on Adrenaline for many years and was looking for everyday shoes with support and a softer ride. Glycerin gts fits my needs perfectly. Couldn't be happier for the application.

Yay! Finally, a shoe that supports my whole foot. The wider width, supports my foot all the way out to the edges as with just the regular width I would feel the seam. It's like walking on air! Super lightweight and make it a pleasure to walk. It's hard to take them off and put "regular" shoes back on. I swear, I would wear them with dresses if I could! In fact, maybe I will!

Great for 3-5 mile shoe! I trained for 6 months 3x a week. And they are still holding up together! But I think it's time to get new ones as they look great still and are all together but the feel is not the same obvious after 6 months! Now I've decided they are my walking shoes since they still look great! :) awesome training shoe :)and walking shoe :)

Because of injury I require the unusual combination of cushioned stability. Glycerin GTS has made painless walking possible again.

These shoes are amazing!! This is my 3rd pair this year. I have a fallen arch on my right foot due to an old running injury and this is the only shoe I can run in pain free!! I put 40 miles a week on these and they feel the same every day, great shoe!
