I have bought so many different gym shoes and this one is the best shoe ever. Great support shoe ever. I do a lot of walking and climbing stairs.

Love them makes for my 10 th pair of Brooks shoes. I have a bad knee and they have helped me walk better no sliding or as much limping as my other sneakers

I was excited about this new model and cushioning, but the design was too wide and clunky for my taste.

This was my third pair of Brooks that I have bought and Im sure Ill buy more in the future. I ordered a wide and they are actually a wide, plenty room. The main reason I buy them is because my knee and hip pain in noticeably less when shopping or going for a walk.

This is a nice shoe, but not for my foot. The shoe slipped significantly on my heel upon trying it on and walking around. Maybe I needed to size down, but the shoe appeared to fit well in the length and width. I also found the laces difficult to adjust. An easy-lace adjustment system would be nice. Who wants to fight to tie their shoes? I owned a pair of Ghost shoes, pre-COVID, that fit perfectly and were so comfy. I had high hopes for this shoe, but it's not the right shoe for my foot.

I was very hesitant to purchase due to the cost but after sitting down and figuring out how much I was spending on different things to help with my condition, I decided to purchase. I was dealing with plantar fasciitis and daily constant heel pain due to working on my feet all day. After taking the fit quiz and purchasing the shoes that were recommended, I can say, without a doubt the best purchase I ever made. No more pain!!

The colors available in wide are so manly. These do not even look like womens shoes. Why can I never get any nice colors in wide??

I was really enjoying these shoes, but disappointed in how they have held up. The top of one shoe has ripped within a few months of wearing.

There is a seam in both shoes that is very tight, much tighter than any other part of the shoe that does not loosen up even after the shoes are broken in. I love everything else about these shoes.

the glycerin 21 GTS are comfortable, though a bit narrow for my wide feet. They have a good amount of ventilation and are useful for longer runs, especially in heat. The tread is good for road running and theres a fair amount of cushioning for striking hard surfaces. I would recommend this product, but go for a wide size, if you have wider feet.

I generally like the look of the shoe. It isnt too flashy, but its cute. What I really love though is the fit and feel. This shoe fits my feet well and offers great support for running. Im not sure it could get any better in terns of the fit, which is a super important feature when it comes to running! I love that the toes arent crowded and the shoes are stable to prevent ankle rolls as well. Id definitely recommend these sneakers.

These shoes are fantastic! They fit true to size...I am a 6.5 but sometimes need to size up or down. These were a great fit as a 6.5. They feel snug and secure. They seem slightly springy, I could detect some pep in my step while running and exercising in these shoes. Colors are nice and bright without being splashy.

Loving these shoes so far! My only complaint (and not really a complaint - more like a suggestion) is that the shoe laces sent with the WIDE shoes are not long enough to tie when the shoes are on my feet. I thought I would return the shoes, but I ordered some longer laces and have been happily wearing the shoes. PLEASE send longer laces.

Great shoes, lightweight with perfect support for heel strikers or neutral runners. Ive used these on two road/path runs so far and an at-home, HIIT style workout and theyre great for all of the above, not to mention running errands and just every day use. They look awesome and are supportive, but not too cushy that your heels sink into the sole. These have been added to my workout shoe rotation and its a plus that I can use them for a variety of workouts, not just running! I highly recommend these and am so happy I tried them.

These Glycerin 21 GTS shoes are my new go tos! I originally planned on using them for just running, but they are so incredibly comfortable that theyve made it into the gym bag for cross training as well. The fit is true to size and has a great amount of arch support as well as side to side stability which is great for lunging, squatting, etc. I got them in the navy/ice blue / pink color way which feels on trend and coordinates well with other gym basics. The fabric itself is breathable and lightweight and the sole is luxuriously cushioned. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone looking for a comfortable, and ergonomic training go to!

Only wore around the house today. Experiencing heel pain. They also run small compared to the 20 model. Likely will return and try to locate a 20 model.

I love these sneakers! When I took them out of the box I noticed they were very lightweight. When I tried them on I couldn't believe how comfortable they were for weighing so little. My foot is on the narrow side and these fit very well and true to size. I was able to adjust the laces to a comfortable fit and my foot stayed in place without shifting.
As a mom of two toddler boys, I am constantly on the go and these provide a stylish and super comfortable option for daily wear, in addition to a great running and gym shoe. These are great for an outdoor walk/jog and on the treadmill, too. I like that I can wear them for errands and then squeeze a workout in without having to change. The style of the shoe and the blue/black/pink color combination works great with my wardrobe. I feel like I can wear them with anything and they still match.
I would highly recommend this shoe for any moms out there running errands, working out, and those who spend a lot of time on their feet.

I was so excited to get these shoes!
I like the style and design of the shoe. They look cool. I would like to see the company offer them in a solid color in addition to the current styles.
The fit was great. It was true to size and they seem very durable.
To be honest when I first tried the shoes on I thought the insoles could have been a little softer. The are pretty solid/firm. However, when I ran in them the first time I fell in love with them! They absorb the shock from the road nicely.
I would definitely recommend these shoes for anyone interested in a good shoe for running or working out in.

I have been loyal to another big shoe brand for years, but recently decided to give Brooks a try, and O M G, I'm so glad I did! These are truly THE most comfortable pair of running shoes I have ever worn! I ordered these shoes in my usual size, and when I tried them on, I immediately fell in love. They seem to run a little wide, which is a plus for me, and they have thick, cushiony soles that make you feel like you are bouncing on clouds. I originally wore them around my house to make sure they felt okay. Yep, felt great! Then I took them to the gym and wore them on the treadmill for an hour. Still loved them! Next, I decided to try them on my outdoor run, and ended up running 8 miles. Amazing. No break-in time needed and they felt so good the entire time. Of course when it came time to run my first race of 2024, it was a decision as to which shoes I would wear... my new Brooks. This review might sound a little over the top, but I really do love these shoes, and will definitely be adding more to my closet soon!

I was hopeful these would fit well, but they are extremely snug and uncomfortable. I normally wear an 11, which is what I ordered, but these fit more like a 10-10.5. When running, they have what feels like a lift to them, something I did not enjoy.
The orange in the color is actually more of a lighter orange like a coral, instead of a "Gators blue and orange" combo like I was expecting.
Overall, I did not like these and would not recommend.

These shoes have gotten me back out and running after a broken toe sidelined me. I get shin splints pretty easily and these have been great for that- also lower back pain if I push too hard and these have really made me feel like I can fly. They feel like a firm mattress for my feet- so supportive and light. Ive been running in the colder months and havent had any issues. I mostly stay on pavement but also do stretching and the treadmill at the gym when its rainy. Ive been forgetting to take them off when I come home- theyre so comfy! I wear a 9 and these fit very true to size. Theyre my first Brooks and I am very impressed! I think they look cute too!
