I actually love these sneaks And I could not get the GTS 20s so I had to get the 21 and My last two pair of wides fit great! this pair for some reason or another is very tight At the top middle. The tongue, shoelace area Does not allow for too much room so if you have a high top part of the foot, it will be very tight. It actually leaves indents on my feet when I take them off. I did allow for breaking time and it's still tight. For my heel burning issue when I walk, it completely resolves it. So just a little tight, but it does the job on my feet.

I made the mistake of buying two pairs of this model. The first one messed up within the 90 days. The second pair did the same thing 6 months in. The toe of left shoe has something in the tip that collapsed and pokes you in toes. Feels like plastic. The first pair was so bad I couldnt wear them. The other pair is still wearable but will get worse with time. Model 20 was so much better.

I have severe chronic back pain and issues and this shoe is the first I can wear without orthotic inserts. These are supportive and cushioned at the same time. I love them! Only 4 stars is due to the limited range of colors in my size and width- I wear women's 10 wide. Please offer more colors in Women's wide in this style!

Very comfortable, lots of cushioning. Great for stability. Only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is the top inner toe area buckles a bit. Not sure why this is happening, I thought maybe the shoe tongue was pulled too tight, but after readjusting, that's not the problem.

I have arthritis and need a wide toe box. These have great support and comfort all day. I found that I needed to break them in for a couple of days.

This is my fourth pair of Glycerins. Ive tried other Brooks shoes but always come back to this style. I have to get the wide version wish you would make them in more colors like the standard width offerings. Waiting to see what the next generation of this style will bring as Im likely to get a pair!

Great fit! Love the lower profile! The tongue moves around but that may be because of my weird feet.Need more colors.

Last shoe was the Glycerin 20gts. It's the perfect shoe for me. I walk 3.5-4 miles a day. I ordered my usual size of 8.5 but it was squeezing the top of my foot and my toes were cramped. I sent them back and went into my local running store to try on the size 9. It fits the same as the former 20 in an 8.5. So the shoe is a 5 but gave 4 for the sizing discrepancy.

I like this shoe pretty good. The only thing I would change is I wish the heel came up higher.

I liked the color & weight of the shoe. However, after only a 5 mile road walk my toes were chafed from rubbing on both the outside & inside of the shoe. I also noticed that the side of the toe box was bending. I have like wearing the Glycerin GTS 20s for the wide toe box & havent had any issues with either chafing nor being to wide. My feet hurt afterwards & I havent had that experience with the other shoes. I only wore them one time & wish they wouldve fit.

I have been wearing Brooks Adrenaline for many years and the fit recently changed so I decided to try the Glycerine 21. At first, I was happy with the over fit and performance. After a few runs, I noticed an indentation in the toe box and the collapsed material inside of the shoe in that spot hits my big toe and is irritating when running or walking. I wrote to Brooks and they sent me a replacement pair, which was great. At first those seemed fine until after 2 the same thing happened. I am very disappointed. These are expensive shoes and have other great qualities. I will be looking for a new pair of shoes.

The Glycerin GTS running shoe is my go to for comfort, stability and cushioning. No break in period at all. I typically wear a size 7.5 woman's shoe and go up to an 8 for these ( not an 8.5 as suggested by some running stores). Just right for me!

These shoes are ultra comfortable and supportive. I like to get a wide so I have a lot of room in the toe box. I feel like they're a bit bulky and heavy, and the heel is higher than my previous shoes but I am asking for a lot of support and with that, I probably have to trade off on weight. Would recommend for someone who needs arch support and help keeping feet in alignment while walking, you get used to the bulk, height, and weight of the shoe over time. I just found myself not picking my feet up high enough at first and scuffing the bottoms of the shoes and almost tripping as I got used to them.

Comfortable but not for me. I have worn adrenalines the last few years but was looking for something with a little more cushion. These fit the bill and were very comfortable. Unfortunately the stability in the toe box isnt there and I could feel my big toes dropping inward when I was just walking around the house in these. So close to being what I was looking for! For a stability shoe, it needs a little more.
