Disappointed in how stiff these are there is no "plush cushioning" . Every strike felt hard and not well supported. Never experienced shin splits until running with these.

I felt the need to update my review from the previous one-star rating. I went to my local store to buy another pair of ghost max shoes but was wearing my old Glycerins, so the clerk asked if I wanted to try them on. After having already bought them previously and returned due to how uncomfortable my feet were, I declined, but after having my foot scanned and measured, I realized I'd been wearing the wrong size all along. After sizing up one full size, the shoes felt amazing. The best part is the toe box feels roomy and soft under my feet. I didn't have the material collapsing like previously. Glad I gave them another try. Now I have two amazing Brooks shoes!

Of all my pairs of Brooks running shoes, both of my glycerin pairs are the softest, and have the most cushion.

I love my GTS 21 shoes! I am 78 years old and have a foot and knee problem and the extra cushion helps with those problems. I wear the black ones with the white soles and they look great with my black slacks. I wear a size 8D because I need the extra room in the toe area and I have a high instep. I just wish you would make them in the brightly colored bold patterns that you make your other Brooks shoes. I would buy the shoes in different holiday patterns if you made them in my size.

They are alright. I probably should have ordered the next size up. They feel a little tight.

These are very comfortable sneakers. I'm a huge fan of Ghost 12 in particular, however Brooks hasn't made Ghosts like Ghost 12 ever again. After buying Ghost 14 and Ghost 15 (and returning both pairs each time after realizing the quality was not the same) Glycerin GTS 21 were the next best sneakers Brooks could offer based on my needs and foot type (flat feet). Please bring back Ghost 12!

Lots of cushioning on the heel which is nice, however I get arch pain in these that I didnt deal with in the adrenalin gts. My biggest issue with these is that theres a piece of plastic that lines the toe bed and the first time I squatted down, the plastic creased and now constantly touches my big toe.

My favorite Brooks ever. Will be buying multiple pairs of these shoes. They are so light, yet responsive and bouncy. LOVE THEM!

Love the comfort of the fit. The shoe is wide enough up front, but fits perfectly in the back

I am not a runner. I'm a person with extreme feet problems - was in need of shoes that does not hurt - "Glycerin GTS 21" works for me. I now have happy feet.

Ive had Glycerin 19 & 20. I will have to return the 21s I just purchased. The heel area is not low enough now and my heel sits up high and rubs on the heel collar. I am so bummed.

They make the arches of my feet ache the entire time I am wearing them. More intensely if I am running in them.

Comfortable but felt strange to have such a roomy toe space at first. I got used to it quickly though. Only problem is the heel is a little loose.

Comfort is superb. But Id expect $160 shoes to last more than 3 months. I walk 3-5 days a week, 1.5 to 3.0 miles at a time. Both shoes wore out on the lateral forefoot. I have never had this happen before! I usually wear out shoes at lateral heel. And it takes much longer than 3 months! Bring back the Glycerin 20!

I had worn Ghost shoes prior to sales person recommending GlycerinGTS. Wow! The cushioning and support are amazing. I am on my feet all day. I have a pair for work and a pair for working out. Love them!

I usually wear the Adrenaline GTS and have been for years, but decided to try the Glycerine GTS finding the cushioning was a bit more but it still provided the support I needed. I really like these shoes and have been impressed with the difference this has made in my long runs 7-13 miles) as I am training for a half marathon but also work and wear them at work on my feet all day. Whether I am running heel to toe or mid strike as my gait changes when I run, the shoes feel great! I may try a 1/2 size larger next time as my foot can tend to move forward toward the toe box with my gait, but I really like and recommend these

Obsessed! I've been searching for a great road shoe foe a couple years now and I finally think I've found THE ONE! I wanted a well cushioned, yet stable (I tend to over pronate) but something not too narrow in the tow box. Voil!! I wear a 9 in regular shoes and the 9.5 are perfect for the Glycerins for me.

I love all my Brooks Shoes, however these run really narrow and hurt my feet. I know they have a 90 day money back guarantee . With this being said I wore them everyday for a week hoping they would stretch. When I ordered these I thought it said they were the size E in width. I wear 9.5 Xwide but the only ones they carry as far as I can tell is white or black. I want color in my life especially my shoes.
