Customer Reviews Brooks Glycerin GTS 21

Would like a little more arch support but the overall comfort of the shoe is the best I have found.

I love love love my Brooks shoes! This is my second pair! It is really hard to where anything else!

Love the Glycerin GTS 21. I bought these for work as I am standing on my feet for the majority of my day. They are very comfortable, but as the day goes on, I usually have to loosen the laces up as my feet will feel like they are "too tight". I think it's the beginning of having arthritis in my bones that make my shoes feel like they are too tight. I also own a pair of Glycerin 20 as well. The uppers on that pair seem to feel like they are a bit wider. Not sure if they actually are, but all in all I LOVE both pairs of my new Brooks shoes.

I live in the Glycerin 21. I have 3 pair in rotation at all times. Two are GTS, one is not. This combo works perfectly for my mostly trail walking, with some treadmill running. I find the slight variation works best for my bad knees. I have white for the treadmill.

It felt like half a shoe. My foot pushed downwards into the toe box too much and felt like it was hitting the floor because the support stops short of the front of the shoe. No cushioning , no support around the front on the sides. Not what I imagined for this much money

Soft foot bed, wider toe. Good with orthotics. Very comfortable.

These shoes are so comfortable & totally worth the money. Im a size 8 with a narrow foot. These are my first pair.

feels tight on the edge of my feeet

Overall comfortable and stable but can be uncomfortable around the toe. The toe indents inward once the shoe is on and hits the top of the foot causing some discomfort and annoyance.

the shoe was too wide for me, I wear a wide but it is made bigger and not as cushioned as the glycerin that is not GTS. It hurt the arch and bottom of my foot. I talked to someone at Brooks and she told me to try the regular 21, not wide. I think it will work, the middle of my foot hurt a little after wearing all day in the house. I am going to make sure I can wear it by trying it in the house some more

Love these shoes! The support and the cushion are amazing...and the toe box is wide, just the way I like them...since i have wide feet! Great job as usual, Brooks!

Didnt care for this style of Brooks at all. Shoe size 9.5 regular ran big slipped off my heal and toe bed was too wide. The chunky outer tread around the heal was a tripping hazard felt very awkward when trying to go up and down steps and while driving. The overall extra cushion in the foot bed wasnt noticeable either. The stability of the whole shoe was clunky and hard to stay balanced. I went back to my Adrenaline GTS 22.

I haven't walked far in it yet, but I very much like the support and springiness/cushion in the shoe. Seems nearly perfect to me and an improvement over the 20 GTS (I am a long time Brooks shoe user/buyer). Recommended for older folks like me (72) who put in miles but need more cushion, comfort, and bounce.

Love them so much I bought a second pair!

I wish they didnt redesign the Glycerin 20. The 21 is a nice shoe but, it rubs just below the big toe. I stopped wearing them and went back to my old 20. I run and wear these for tennis. I pulled the 21s out again to wear running and ended up with a blister in that spot. I wish I could find the 20s in my size but, they are now discontinued.

Love the glycerin 19 shoes but needed support for my pronation. This is my first pair of glycerin GTS and I like the support it provides. They are definitely not as squishy as the regular glycerin, but they are still comfortable. My only complaint is that my heel seems to slide around in this shoe. I always wear a size 6 in my brooks, but these seem to run a tad bit bigger. I dont know if I need to size down to a 5.5 or if the fit is different.

I love the support and the cushion!

The shoe felt comfortable enough upon initial lace up... Unfortunately, running in these shoes was no fun at all. The "cushion" is very firm, and hurt my joints. The arch support was lacking, along with the responsiveness that typically exists with a more firm ride. If you aren't soft, you better be somewhat responsive, but no, not these shoes.

These are much better than last years. A little roomier in the toe box, a bit lighter and you can feel the new cushion! They are perfect for my everyday runs. I have bursitis and overpronate some but with these shoes I have no problem.

I run a lot; about 90 miles a month. These shoes were fine, but I returned them. They were ok, comparable to the Hoka Bondi 8. I liked the Hoka Mach 6 better, so I bought several pairs of those instead. Hope this helps another runner. (Female, age 43)

Loved them, but I had to return them. I really loved these sneakers for my daily walks, 3-5 miles per day, but after one month, the bottoms started wearing away on the outer part of each sneaker. These were specifically fit for my pronation problems and fit perfectly, I just could not believe that they wore out so fast. Very disappointed and sad!

I love the Glycerin GTS 21. I usually get the Adrenaline GTS and decided to try these and Im so glad I did. They felt wonderful from the moment I put them on. Thank you Brooks for making them in the solid black. Just as comfortable as the Adrenaline but with more cushion. Wonderful for my planter fasciitis. Love love these shoes.

It feels like I'm walking on air. They shoes are supper lite and comfortable. My feet have never felt better.

The shoe is soft like your walking on clouds. They are very comfortable. The only reason I did not give them a 5 star is they run a little wide in the toe area. They dont fit like my Ghost 14s.
