They fit fine, even with the arch supports the podiatrist recommended. They provide good support and are providing to an improvement to the bruised metatarsals I suffered after a recent fall.

Marathon training and these have the stability and cushion I need for those high miles without feeling heavy or loaded down. I love them! Thank you for making me run happy!

I had the Glycerin model before and I like this model a LOT except for one small thing...the sides of the toe of the shoe buckle in and its annoying. I work at a hospital doing 12 hr shifts, so you need a comfortable shoe!

Part of the toe box broke and rubbed my toe. They need more cushion in the heels and more support in the arches like in the long ago past. Also, this new design puts too much pressure on the front part of my feet. You guys need to level this out.

I love these new Glycerin GTS 21 shoes! I am a big stability shoe person and these shoes provide me with both stability and cushion. Normally shoes with cushion cause me knee problems but these dont. These shoes are so great for me because I get the cushion feel while also being provided with stability. I love how light and smooth I feel while running in these shoes. I also got the bright pink color and they are so cool! Love them!

Im not a runner. Just wanted a comfortable walking shoe that would give me cushion to help with my bad knees. This product does the trick. Love them!

The Glycerin GTS are my go-to shoe and I was so excited for the 21s to come out and for the new colors. The issue is, in the new version, there is stitching where the laces attach to the toe box that is bulky and actually hurts the top of my foot during my runs. Im trying to get passed it, but Im struggling with it. Maybe the shoes I got are the exception- my advice, try them on in the store.

Love the comfort of this shoe! The cushion is very noticeable, and I wear these for work as I am on my feet all day. The other great thing about these is that they come in wide! Hard to find a good shoe that also provides wide fit.

I was really hoping to love these shoes but I did not. I didn't like the new design. They are too bulky and they look wider so your feet almost look like clown shoes. They are still cushioned really well! They also didn't fit as well as the old style. My foot would slide around more in the shoe. I love, love the style of the Glycerin GTS 20 and older. The Glycerin 21 GTS shoes did not live up the hype.

Have an old pair of ghosts that needed replacing. Tried several different sizes and widths of Glycerin but just couldnt find the fit. The toe box at D width was just not as wide as the ghosts and as much as I wanted that cushy ride I had to return to the classic ghost

I like them very well. I have had several pairs of Adrenaline GTS, but am getting old and wanted more cushioning, so I tried the Glycerin GTS. They fit the shape of my feet well with a wide toe box, somewhat narrower heel and straight last. They give some bounce without too much excess. The GTS feature still gives some stability at the middle part of the rear. It is best for warmer temperatures being well ventilated.

I ordered these to wear at work hoping it would help alleviate my knee and foot pain. I dont think theyre any better than my ghost 14s were. I was hoping for a little more comfort out of them.

Overall these are great. They are my first Brooks, and they are wonderful, especially after 4 knee surgeries and 3 ankle reconstructions. The only issue I have is heal slip due to narrow heals, which can be resolved by doing a runner's lacing technique that I am used to using; however, the laces are too short. The other "complaint" is simply aesthetics. I wish there were better options for color and design. I am switching from Asics Gel Nimbus that were fun and colorful. These feel like "old lady" shoes in comparison to the design. Just make them happier and in better color combos would be great.

These fit great and feel good to run in. I used to wear ghost but did the online quiz and switched based on that. I love the roomy toe box and cushy feel. I get my normal size in the wide option.

I absolutely love how these shoes fit and feel BUT I have only had them 2 months and the mesh at the toe is already wearing away on the inside. It needs to have thicker material at the toes because it shouldn't be wearing down this much in just 2 months. I have some adidas that lasted me 2 years before the mesh wore down like this. Very disappointed because these shoes have helped my achey feet SO much, but I fear I won't get but another couple of months out of them.
