I ordered Glycerin GTS 21 a month ago and I added Dr. Scholl inserts that support my arches and heels. My feet feel much better after standing long hours in the store.

The shoes are comfortable but unfortunately the area where the tongue and lace come together put an odd pressure on the top of my foor make the shoes uncomfortable for all day use.

Great shoe! Can walk long distances but other competitors dont make my feet hurt as much as these. High price while competitors are lower. Im also not a fan of all the writing on the side of the shoe. Performs better on the road than walking on grass. Recommend this shoe since its still a quality buy.

Really loved this as my stability shoes. I tend to overpronate and this has support on the sides but soft at the same time that it doesnt limit my movements. It didnt give me any ankle pains even while still breaking in. The cushioning is good too and perfect for my long runs!

I am a city carrier for USPS and walk approximately 15k steps a day. Brooks is my absolute favorite shoes! The glycerin gts 21 is lightweight, breathable and so comfortable! My shoes typically last about 6 months which is great considering I wear them everyday to work.

They do the job well. My hip had been bothering me before the new sneakers, but it stopped afterwards.

Still breaking them in. Had foot surgery so they are snug on my foot, not sure if because the toe is sensitive or if it is made smaller than the Glycerin GTS 20. I'm guessing just because the toe is still sensitive. Overall, they are a nice looking shoe. I don't think a person can go wrong with Brooks, they are just all around nice, comfortable shoes especially for people like me that have feet issues.

The absolutely most comfortable sneaker!! I didnt buy them to run with, just as a walking shoe. They are very roomy and worth every penny!!

Beautiful shoes in all black (finally!) but don't help my metatarsalgia. My glycerin 13's did help and even my several-years-old ghosts are better, but I need something that works better, so I'll be sending them back unfortunately.

They are very comfortable. I'm on my feet a lot. I'm a nurse. They are more comfortable than the adrenaline or the ghost.

It's a very good shoe, what doesn't work for others, It just might work for you. Try it, sometimes we let reviews discourage us. Everybody has different feet.

These sneakers are perfect for me, a 61 YO young woman! I utilize for long walks, Orange Theory, personal training and everyday use! Although I have a variety of other sneakers by different manufacturers in my closet these are my go to! In fact I am going to order another pair!

I have been wearing these for about a week now, and just walked 9.8 miles the other day, a first for me. I have knee and ankle conditions that usually cause me quite a bit of pain, and I had minimal pain after nearly 10 miles. Previously, I wore Hoka Bondi and thought no sneaker could be better. These are similar, but better because they offer stability as well as incredible cushioning. I am very pleased with the sneakers. I ordered my usual size and I have plenty of room in the toe box, and the heels fit perfectly on my narrow feet. Very happy with the sneakers!

I love my Glycerin GTS 21. I especially like the support it provides for my flat and pronated feet.

As a hospital housekeeper I run 8+ hours a day. These are so wonderful I don't feel my feet at all. It is like being propelled forward in motion and I am energized by my shoes. Thank You Brooks! My PT prescribed these for me in 2006 after my last double knee surgeries. I couldn't afford them ongoing because of raising 3 boys with size 15 feet and we wanted the best brands for them. Now I can afford what keeps me able to work 40 hours a week. These shoes are a success.

Often when a model changes its nerve racking, but I think these are a great upgrade. They provide great cushion and support. My feet were a little sore the first few days, but once my foot muscles adjusted, all was good. I am giving them 5 stars for the quality of the shoe, but Id give 1 star for the color options available this cycle.

This shoe is perfect for me. I tried the Ghost Max, but quickly learned I needed more support. Super grateful for the "Run Happy" promise because I was able to send the Ghost Max back and get the Glycerin GTS 21. The Glycerin GTS 21 provided support in all the right places and has excellent cushioning as well. I'm a heavy runner and my knees feel great running in these shoes. I have the size 10 wide version. My only wish is that the wide styles had more color options!

I bought these to replace a pair of Brooks that finally wore out after 5 years, and is not sold anymore. I was impressed with the website questions to help determine appropriate shoes for my feet. I bought their first choice, the Glycerin GTS 21, after also reading a ton of reviews. I really dislike break-in times for shoes, but I didn't need any for these. They are comfortable and supportive and I'm glad I bought them. I should add, I'm not a runner, I'm a walker, but these work well for me.
