Customer Reviews Brooks Glycerin GTS 21

Received my Glycerin GTS 21 a few weeks ago. The width of my foot is borderline between normal and wide. I went with wide and I am very glad I did, they fit perfectly and are very comfortable. I am anxious to experience how they hold up to my vigorous senior lifestyle. Very happy with them thus far

I love them and I couldn't wait to get them! They are everything I wanted and expected.

I bought these sneakers after an extensive search. I wanted a sneaker for everyday use and walking. I had been a huge HOKA fan. But after trying so many of their styles, I was disappointed. The wide width sneakers look like duck shoes and they weren't soft enough. Now the Glycerin 21. It is a good looking sneaker even in a wide width. It is a quality sneaker, really well made. I have bunions and arthritis in my feet. I am a very active person and supportive sneakers are essential. I did need to add another small layer of cushion. I added a dr. Scholls thin shoe insert and it was perfect. I am able to use orthotic inserts in these sneakers if necessary. I remove the lining to do so. But, I have found the support is so good that I do not need them. I have recently purchased two pair. I have the black for an understated look and the black snd white for a sporty look. Both have been great. I am a fan!! Can't beat the brooks return policy. I had ordered some different sizes, and returned the ones that didn't fit. I'd love more colors in a wide width! Maybe something in a cream or blush??? The Glycerin 21 has been a lifesaver for me. Gave them a 4 only because I had to add the insert to get perfection. Maybe really a 4.5!!

I think the 21 looks much better than the 20 but this new design Brooks is using for the sides of the soles is not better at all. Especially on the Ghost. They look puffy. Not sleek like the older versions. The 21 seems to have slightly less room in the toe box to me, but they are still comfortable. Overall I enjoy them.

I purchased this shoe because it was recommended as a subsequent shoe to replace my Glycerin 20 and the price was reasonable. However, the rigid fabric that feels like a stiff, cheap plastic at the interior front of the tongue is too uncomfortable on the upper part of my foot to continue wearing this shoe. I hope the next model that I purchase is a better shoe--I most likely plan to get a Brooks as everything else about the shoes are excellent.

Comfy. Using them for track this spring to run in during practice. Fit well. Might have to buy another pair.

Very pleased with my purchase, definitely will consider Brooks in my future purchases

Brooks had the most comfortable shoes. Their customer service above and beyond as well. Im really enjoying my Glycerin GTI 21.

Glycerin GTS 21 is the most comfortable shoes I have never owned, I would recommend this running shoe to everyone who is looking for comforter and affordable running shoe on the market.

Great shoe, has a great amount of support

These have been awesome, I just ordered my 3rd and 4th pair. I walk about 100K steps a month and these last me forever!!! I love them!!!

Shoe cushioned but inside of shoe if very rough. All kinds of problems for first 2-3 weeks with calluses on balls of feet, and pain in bunion area. Had to purchase several Dr Scholl's shoe inserts to find the right padding and double layer of socks to prevent blisters as well. And yes, i bought the correct size shoe.

I just love my pair of shoes. Brooks did a wonderful job on these. Don't take my word just try a pair and you tell me how they make your feet feel.

I really wanted to love these. The description and shoe finder made them sound like they would have good stability, but unfortunately they dont, especially laterally. I feel like Im walking after one too many beers because my footing feels so unsure. Im in recovery from a spinal fusion and subsequent severe post-op infection, so I really need the stability. May need to return or exchange. May be great for others, just didnt fit my situation. Excellent ordering process and customer service though, and really appreciate the GOVX veterans discount.

Another great pair of Brooks shoes. Quality and a great value.

This is a well thought out and designed walking/running shoe, with excellent support all around, and quality materials/precise fit/finish. Brooks is a reputable company I trust with my wore out feet after 20+ years in the military wearing combat boots every day. My only concern is that while the shoes are great, fit and support my feet well, I feel pressure atop my left foot about 3cm aft of my toes. Not sure if it's my feet getting used to new shoes or the bones atop my left foot move differently to support my walking...but the pressure after walking is there for a day. They are good shoes but too pricey at $130-$165 for the amount of material used, and its definitely less than in the past. I am not sure I find the same value for my money as in older Brooks models. My go to shoes are usually New Balance but Brooks' support my feet better and are more comfortable.

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, its amazing how much better I feel.

The best snickers they are like the most perfect for running

I love the stability and cushion they provide. I have alot of foot problems and the Glycerins have been the ones that have become my favorite. I dont feel as much pain and I definitely feel supported.

Stable to run and confort

The fit is great. I need the support due to flat feet. These shoes are great. Ihave worn this shoe for two years. I buy them every 6 months due to me being on my feet all day.

Great for 3-5 mile shoe! I trained for 6 months 3x a week. And they are still holding up together! But I think its 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 Ive decided they are my walking shoes since they still look great! :) awesome training shoe :)and walking shoe :)
