Customer Reviews Brooks Glycerin GTS 21

I love the cushion in the heal, however for some reason I am experiencing ankle pain after wearing them. I havent experienced this from any sneaker before. Maybe the sneaker can be modified somehow to have a gel that forms support around the ankle. Not sure what is causing the issue. Other than the ankle/Achilles pain I would say this has to be the most comfortable sneaker I have worn in a very long time. Highly recommend it. Not sure if it is my go to sneaker out of the brooks family just yet but its definitely in my rotation.

They are ok for short miles. Not the best for running long miles. I guess I will attempt another type of shoes next time.

After an inaugural 5+ mile run out of the box--I love them! The balance between support and cushion is excellent; I especially appreciated the max cushioning in the forefoot where I have a spot of metatarsalgia on the ball of my 3rd toe--I didn't feel a bit of pain there with these shoes. Also, no problem so far with the achilles tab rubbing the skin over my achilles raw; I have had this problem with both the Brooks Levitate 6 and the Glycerin GTS 21 Stealthfit, though the latter was fixed by wearing a higher tabbed sock. I had to give the Levitate 6's away. I will update with further details as I wear them in. My initial impression, though, is very positive, so much so I wanted to buy another pair when I got home!

This she has a roomy toe box and lots of support. I have high arches so its difficult to find the right shoes

The perfect cushion for my feet. Extremely comfortable and the perfect fit. True to size. I have 5 pairs and I love all the colors!

Shoes are great! Comfortable and supportive for walking. Colors were as expected.

Before my purchase when I would walk my shins would hurt closer to my ankles after a while after purchasing these I no longer have this issue because they are well cushioned and gives a good support. I did have to go up a size because the toe area was narrow. Oh they do come in wide as well.

The color is fun. But the comfort and support isn't there. I usually by adrenaline for work. But wanted to try a new one hoping to switch back and forth. But my dogs hurt all day and those first steps out of bed want to drop me. Nothing against brooks. Just not the shoe for me. I guess my feet like the adrenaline better.

Gave blisters on my big toes. I walk/run 5 miles a day. Would always wear ghost 15 but wanted more cushion. These have cushion but my big toe rubs against the side and made blisters on both feet

These feel even better than the 20! I love the GTS after having a few ankle sprains, these shoes give me the stability that I need to feel confident over brick and cobblestone roads. It's the perfect fit with a smooth ride and plenty of cushion.

Last shoe was the Glycerin 20gts. Its 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 really like these shoes. They have a wide toe box, and good support as well as cushion. I previously had the Glycerin 21 (not GTS) and they were too soft and my feet felt like they moved inside the shoe. The GTS are so much better. I bought 2 pair because I like running and walking in them so much.

These shoes have saved my life. I'm exaggerating, but not that much. For months I've had pain in my lateral left heel due to my slightly flat feet which I overpronate while walking. My plantar fascia and peroneus muscles are very tight as well, and despite tons of stretching, manual treatments from my fellow physical therapists at work, the pain lingered. Until these shoes. I can walk again! I was literally crying happy tears after the first day I wore them to work. They have plenty of arch support, lots of cushioning under my entire foot, keep my calcaneus in place, and support my ankles to prevent them rolling during direction changes. Haven't tried them running yet, still finishing the healing progress on my leg first. Overall, they are magical. If you have any lower leg issues that will could be helped with supportive, cushioning shoes, these shoes are your only hope.

Absolutely love these shoes. I wear them for work everyday standing on concrete, and they are cushy and supportive and help my foot pain tremendously. Very happy with these!

Love the color, very comfortable, happy with my purchase.

This is my second pair of Glycerin GTS. They are roomy, very comfortable and supportive! Will definitely buy again. Only thing I wish was different, more choice in wide.

Very supportive shoe. The shoe fit was precise.

I love my new shoes. They help with my over pronation and help my knees. I can wear them all day and they are still comfortable at the end of the day.

Cute shoe but they werent comfortable for me. Returned them. Have Ariel GTS 23 and love them.

Returned them. Too small in toe box. Not enough cushioning for my walks I do for exercise.

Was having all kinds of issues with my ankle and knee. Since changing styles it has been a game changer! Brooks shoe is all I can wear since 1993. I will continue to wear them because it works!!

I usually wear a Ghost shoe. After researching different selections I opted to try the glycerin gts and Im its my new favorite shoe. The extra cushion is such a comfort and overall its a great shoe.

For my 2miles+ runs, they feel great, couldn't ask for a more comfortable shoe. For my sprints/strides on my toes, I feel like there's a peg under the ball of my foot. Fits true to size.
