Customer Reviews Brooks Glycerin GTS 21

Great looking and feeling shoe

Ordered size blindly on internet, concerned about fit. Brooks webpage sizing guide helped and it turned out was half size bigger than my current running shoe. When it arrived, the fit was perfect, shoe feels like walking on a pillow. Very comfortable.

Love these shoes. I was always only wearing Ghost, but thought I would give these a try. Since I buy wide width sometimes Im limited to what I can buy. I walk, run and bike outside and use the treadmill inside when it is raining. They are very comfortable and love the extra cushioning. There was no breaking in period either. I would highly recommend these shoes, you wont be disappointed. They may be my new go to workout shoes.

The Glycerin GTS 21's are a great successor to the 20's. Very repeat very comfortable with great stability. I'm delighted with them! I put over 800 miles on the 20's while waiting for these new ones...and after putting them through some hard runs, they're proving worth the wait. They're my 15th consecutive pair of Brooks.

most comfortable shoe I've ever worn

Super comfortable! A little roomier in the toe box than the last pair I got which I like.

Relief for my feet and legs! I work retail and Im on my feet 8-10 hours a day. Before my Brooks shoes my entire body hurt at the end of my day. Since wearing my Brooks I dont have the pain at the end o a long day.

Good balance of soft and firm. I have big toe issues and although I love the step in feeling of soft, cushy shoes they cause pain from the added effort involved in toe-offs. These have the perfect balance of soft step in feel and nice protected ride with enough firmness to prevent too much sink in, overworking my poor toe. I loved the Glycerin 20 as well, which was slightly firmer. Hopefully the Glycerin line stays right about here and doesn't get continually softer as it seems most running shoes are getting too soft for me.

Shoe is not as comfortable as I wanted

To stiff in com0arison with gts 20

I have Plantar Fasciitis of my left foot- i can run for miles with the new shoes- better than the Glycerin gts 20- fits my feet better- I alternate between Beast 21 and this shoe.

Fantastic shoe, I have all the version of the Glycerin GTS shoes. I ran 4 to 6 miles 6 times a week and these feel much more cushioned than the Glycerin GTS 20s. Love them and would highly recomment

This is my favorite shoe! It has the perfect amount of cushioning and support, and I appreciate the roomy toe box. My foot stays stable and does not roll. I recently wore these on a two-week vacation, walking every day, all day and they remained comfortable: no pain. I bought a second pair to wear indoors only. I highly recommend this shoe for anyone looking for great stability, comfort and cushioning.

Very comfortable shoes, which give much confidence when Im making my running routine.

Nice comfortable fit. I went up a size and one width up from D.

To much bounce. I planned to send them back but took to long. Very good looking

A disappointment, both in style and function, as compared to previous versions. Functionally, its just not as smooth of a ride, and feels less luxurious than the 19 or 20. Stylistically, its clunky. Brooks designs seem to be devolving this year across the various models. Instead of standing out because they look great, they stand out for being such a bad design that it could be under a label for a discount BigBox store.

Theyre good. I use them. I buy new shoes every 45 days.

My first pair of Brooks and was recommended by my local running store. The reason I bought from the website was the choice of colors and return policy. So far, I put around 10 miles on them and love the ride! Cushion and support is great and my knees dont hurt.

Great running shoes. They're very comfortable as if I'm not wearing shoes.

The glycerin 21 has a great upper for year around use for granted its not waterproof so dont expect it to be just saying soft and great looking in my opinion . The cushion is softer feeling then the last version 20 great step in feel with great grip that does good besides Im guessing with snow its not for that so . 28mm heel < to 18mm forefoot < 10mm drop is high seems tougher on the front of the foot and toes unless the persons like high drop shoe overall . If size is correct width is correct and you like high drop shoe with longevity this is a fantastic option . Unfortunately the glycerin gts 21 looks sporty with great materials BUT did not work for me the mid foot width is not wider as mentioned shoes need width in the mid foot along with the toe box heel was good toe box was good mid foot not so much . Do like the looks and cushion but mid foot width did not accommodate to narrow and drop is to high for some reason this time around so I had to return . Looking forward to the glycerin max which I hope has a lower drop the dna loft v3 with max cushion could be a game changer with the right stack and drop with longevity . Price of shoes is a downfall also not just brooks in general the cost of shoes is becoming high to high so tread with care make sure its a shoe for you and fits correctly but thank brooks for having a good policy and good support staff I have had no issues so far and some shoe companies should take note . Ps didnt work me but does not mean it wont work for you fantastic shoe overall in my opinion .

Purchased for work where on my feet for extended hours. Have previously owned multiple pairs of Brooks Ghost 12s and 14s, and loved the build of both editions of that model. Disappointed by the build and material quality of the Glycerin GTS 21s. The interior toe cap of the Ghost models felt soft, cushiony, and most importantly felt like it was made of actual fabric. The internal toe cap of the Glycerin GTS 21 feels like plastic-y mesh. Once it has been creased from flexing or bending, it does not spring back and is permanently disfigured. They feel cheaply made. This was a similar problem with a pair of ON running shoes, which is why I switched to Brooks in the first place. Disappointed, especially for the high price tag.

Huge fan of the Glycerin GTS 20 (have gone through 5 pairs and bought 5 more). Dreaded trying out the 21, because change seems rarely for the better, and I wasalasnot surprised. Besides the step backwards in styling, which I'd certainly live with if it wasn't for the SHRINKING TOE BOX. I have no idea why sneaker companies continue to shrink the toe box, especially on wide sizes. I've had to give up on so many sneaker models because newer versions made the toe box smaller. Please, I beg you, make sneakers with larger toe boxes like the 20 (and other models that are long gone). This pair goes back to Brooks and I'll be buying up all the old Glycerin GTS 20 stock that I can find.

I have been very pleased with these shoes. They are working well with my achilles issues.

The nitrogen infused soles is just what the doctor ordered... I walk a 1000+ miles a year... as we age the pad at the bottom of our feet thins... I need good cushioning and Glycerin GTS 21 delivered... thanks,
