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.

Well I had a pleasant experience purchasing these shoes online, I became a fan of this brand/product before I got my shoes. I settled for 9.5 Wide and it works well. They are breathable and comfortable. I am a first time buyer for Brooks and see myself coming again to them in the future. They are a joy to walk in with.

I'm not a runner, I bought these sneakers for a vacation to theme parks where a lot of walking was expected. I have Achilles tendon issues and high arches, so I need cushioned shoes with good support. These were comfy out of the box and I didn't need any inserts. After 3 days of theme parks I had blisters on my pinky toes, but the shoes performed great otherwise, and I highly recommend them. I wear 6.5 in most shoes, sneakers I usually get 7, which is what I bought in these, and they are true to size.

They were complimented on my first day wearing them. I like the color. I wore them all day long on the first day and they remained comfortable. This is my first time wearing this brand of sneakers and I am pleased.

I switched to these when I found out they were discontinuing the Levitate. I have loved them since I first put them on. They are lightweight and springy. I have high arches and they were comfortable without my inserts (For me, they are better with them.). I highly recommend these for anyone who loves their Levitates!

I currently have two pair of Glycerin GTS 21, only shoe that is comfortable for my plantar fasciitis. I just wish they came in the color Navy.

I've been a Brooks runner for decades! The Glycerin has been my shoe for at least ten years because of the excellent cushion and responsiveness. The 21 is a dream!

LOVE the all black! Finally! I have never been a fan of the weird colored shoes, but love the fit of them. The fit on the new gts 21 is a little different than previous pairs, it is lighter and the toe box seems a little shorter. BUT the all black makes up for it

As a massage therapist, these shoes are lifesavers. I get a new pair every six months. Why I didnt give it five stars - the toe bed in this version is shaped differently.

I have been a big fan of Brooks till now. Every shoe that was perfect for me has been discontinued. After taking the "shoe test" - I tried this expensive Glycerin GTS 21 - and for the first time ever, after my 4 1/2 mile brisk walk I developed a painful blister on the bottom of my heel on my right foot and another blister on my left!!! Huge disappointment. So much for Brook's test for shoe for you.
