Customer Reviews Brooks Glycerin GTS 21

I loved the two previous versions of the Glycerin GTS, and they were essential for my marathon training. Something happened on version 21 that just does not work for my feet. I'm disappointed. The first pair of 21s I bought had a very defined seam connecting the tongue to the shoe. It dug into the tops of my feet and was painful to walk in. Brooks was kind and sent me a replacement pair, but unfortunately, they're still uncomfortable. The tongue seam is still bothering my feet (I don't have this problem with any of my other running shoes), and there's also a collapsing toe box. I'm going to have to find a new option for this type of shoe in my rotation.

I wear these shoes for my 12 hour shifts at the hospital. They are so light and cushiony. They make my feet feel great. My new favorite Brooks shoes

Love this new design so comfortable. Will definitely buy it again. Size is right as expected, delivery and service online is great.

I want to start by saying I am a loyal advocate for the Adrenalines but the Glycerins were not what I was looking for. I was looking for a shoe that had significant cushioning for my long runs. The overall fit is nice, my foot is more on the narrow side so there was plenty of space in the toe box, he arches werent too high and the 8.5 fit like a gem. But the cushioning, in my opinion was a medium level cushion, more cushioned than the adrenaline's. it felt like the cushion was along the edges of my feet rather than the entire foot. I returned these and will likely try the ghost max next.

Runs small. I couldn't even give you an unbiased opinion because I could not comfortably wear the same size I have ordered from Brooks for the past 5+ years.

I have worn Brooks exclusively for almost 10 years. I have recommended them to countless friends & coworkers. My favorite were the Transcend line but when they became extinct I switched over to Glycerin. Up until the last 2-3 pairs they were great. It just seems like there is progressively less & less of the soft, cushiony insides that I need. I havent decided yet if I will try another pair or if I should just give up & go seek out a new brand. For $160 I just expect the Brooks quality that I became attached to.

This shoe is really comfortable and keeps me steady. As I grow older, my balance can sometimes be off, this Brooks Glycerin GTS 21 definitely provides more balance for me. I really really like them!

These shoes are everything they advertised! The cushion is amazing and yet it has support! I will be purchasing more!

Great cushion and stability. Wonderful shoe for standing all day and walking/running.

Great on comfort and style, but a bit slippery during my run.

Brooks in general are the best for my feet! This model, however keeps my feet feeling alive. I ordered a wide as my feet are more on the wide side. The cushion, support and do not rub! Love these!

I loved the Glycerin 20, Inwas excited these had better laces that didnt come untied. They were very cushy as well. However, the heel left is way higher. While running I ran over a stick and normally would be able to grip, no grip and rolled my ankle. They are way to high. I dont run i heels. Miss the 20s

The shoes felt great right out of the box. My first run was a slow paced three miles. The shoes blistered not only the backs of my heels, but also the sides. Terrible experience with the shoes, but the return was flawless. Thank you for making the return process so easy.

This is the best tennis shoe I have ever owned. I ordered a second pair within a week of the first. So comfortable with amazing support. Nice wide toe box and supportive sides. Could not be more happy with this purchase.

Not a fan, they are big and bulky not as comfortable as the ghost.

I love my Ghosts but ordered Glycerin GTS out of curiosity based on the reviews. I took them out on treadmill immediately they arrived but it hurt my peroneus muscles. I had so much difficulty lifting my foot off the belt, also sometimes i run on my toes but i kept landing flat on my feet which hurt my peroneus muscles. I also have normal to high arch and my foot kept sliding inwards. Am sure this style is suitable for many people but certainly not for me. Sent them back immediately.

So comfy! Perfect for both time at the gym & for healthcare workers with long days on their feet. Instantly relieved my knee and leg pain that came from wearing old worn down shoes.

These shoes have been a lifesaver for my foot pain. I absolutely love the comfort and support. I recommend them to all of my foot pain patients with all having wonderful results so why 3 stars? Because I want it all for the price we pay and whoever you have designing your shoe colors needs a vacation. For $160 you only have 4 of the worst colors, I feel like Im wearing boy shoes. Also docked a star because of the new shipping costs if youre going to offer a discount to sports medicine people who by the way bring you more business, but cant continue with free shipping? Super lame.

I am 66 years old and not a runner. I suffer from plantar fasciitis and have a bunion. I buy wide width in my shoes. These are the roomiest sneakers I have tried that allow adequate room for my orthotic inserts. I am on my feet a lot at work and these sneakers are great! I was buying the Ghost models, but the Glycerin GTS 21 are much more comfortable. I'll be buying another pair!

My favorite sneakers Ive worn! Definitely helpful for balance and stability.

Nice shoe. Comfy so far, no issues. The only thing I don't like about them is the fact that they look so freaking wide. Other than that, they get an 8/10 from me.

Love them! Wonderful cushioning and feel compared to the 20's. THANK YOU for upgrading the Glycerin and going back to a softer cushioning. I use them for walking and whenever I'm on my feet all day. I hope the Adrenaline will follow this model as well.

After the significant drop in quality with the Adrenalines, I wasnt sure which shoes were going to be my replacement. Thank goodness for these!!! They provide excellent support and the cushioning is fantastic! They remind me of the good old days of when the Adrenalines were good quality shoes! Please dont change these Glycerins. They are perfect just the way they are!

Love the color and fit . Can not go wrong with brooks!

Comfortable shoe but fits much bigger than my Glycerin 19. Overall, the shoe feels and looks bulkier than what I am used to.
