Very stable and cushioned, but even though its considered a wide fit, it still feels a bit snug around mid-foot.

I'm a "walker" these days, but have been pleased with the product so far.
An incidental "nuisance" concern about this product and the last ones I received from Brooks: The laces are running longer in length and require double or triple knots. I don't use the top lace holes on each side because of soreness the laces then tend to cause across the top of my feet, but that has been my practice for as long as I remember.

Shoes are very comfortable if tight in the toes even with a wide width. Their is very little room for even the thinest insole. I work on my feet 10+ hours a day and feel very little foot fatigue and the end of the shift.

I really love these shoes. Theyre really comfy. I walk miles in them everyday and my feet do not hurt. I only with the wider shoes came in more colors. Thats the only thing I do not like.

I can only compare it to the GTS20. The 20 fit like a glove right off the bat, didn't require a break-in period and lasted for a surprisingly long time. The 21 feels different. Hard to describe but feels as if it is just a smidge tighter, stiffer, and not quite as comfortable. It has required a break-in but still, overall I think it a good shoe.

This probably my 12th pair of Glycerins. I wear a EE wide. This version is quite a bit narrower forcing my toes to rub against the edge. The heel collar was improperly sewn putting unneeded pressure on my ankle. Go back to the Glycerin 20 design.

I have had five spinal surgeries, two foot, surgeries, one knee, ready for the next knee and these are the best shoes for me. I no longer log 75-80 miles a weekmore like 30, but they are pain-free. At 70 years young and after what my bodys been through, I credit these shoes for keeping me active.
My husband had severe hip pain and I had him try the shoe finder quiz. He reluctantly tried a pair and now hes pain free, as well. They are a game changer!

The Glycerin GTS 21's are not as comfortable as the prior Brooks shoes I have bought, the Glycerin 20. The 21's are too firm in the cushioning. The 20 has softer cushioning than the 21. Disappointed with this shoe

Love the shoes, fit great and feel good once broken in. I was forced to buy running shoes when I wanted walkingimpossible to find size 8 (2E) in a normal color, must be popular. My only complaint Make more or do a better job sending preorder notifications.

Love the shoe. But I can feel the stitching while running sometimes. The right side shifts. It might just be my feet and running form.

I was surprised that this, built shoe, didn't have as much support as my older Glycerin. It is a good shoe, but I didn't really get as much cushion as I did on a cheaper shoe last year.

This is my first Brooks running shoe in over a decade. My podiatrist recommended Brooks as I was suffering from plantar fasciitis. It is not a pillow-soft shoe, but the cushion level is still very good. I may have actually gotten PF from using shoes with too much cushioning. The transition from heel to toe is very smooth, and the upper is the most comfortable of all the shoes I've used in recent years. You forget you have shoes on as you enjoy your run. I may not have purchased Brooks in over a decade, but this certainly won't be my last pair.

This my second pair of Glycerin GTS 21 shoes. The reason for buying the second pair is that I had completely worn down the tread on my old pair. I think it says enough that I would just buy another pair of these shoes without even considering switching to another style or brand. They are comfortable and provides plenty of support. Consider that this review is coming from a 67 year old man who runs about 8 miles per week.
