Customer Reviews Brooks Glycerin GTS 21

Ive purchased multiple pairs of Brooks running shoes and the Glycerin 21 GTS are by far my favorite! Ive been using them for indoor and outdoor running and HITT. The upper fabric is super breathable and withstood the outdoor elements. I love the vibrant color combinations, they are stylish and do not look or feel bulky. They are the perfect blend of cushion and support. Ive always loved GuideRails due my tendency to pronate. The extra cushioning they added with the 21s has just the right amount of give without feeling overly squishy. These shoes feel solid, with great support and I expect they will last me many miles on the road!

These shoes are two words. Simply amazing! I feel as if Im running on a cloud with these babies! Im getting back into the groove of running again after Ive had a major life altering surgery and these are helping me gain back my running confidence. I absolutely love the color. The blue color really pops and the material is extremely breathable. The cushion is great. Every stride feels so soft and doesnt jar with every step. Most shoes that Ive tried in the past hurt the arch of my feet, but I have had no pain whatsoever with these. The arch support is fantastic. Anyone who has flat feet could really benefit from these shoes! I wear a size 8.5 and feel like they are very true to size. Usually when I run, I wear thicker socks to help the balls of my feet. So I would maybe size up a half next time. (Just so the socks dont feel as tight.) BUT with the cushion of the shoe alone, I dont necessarily feel like I need thick socks very much anymore. Just shows how comfy and soft they are on my feet! If you run, dont hesitate. Just buy!

Ive had these shoes for about a week and a half now. I absolutely love them! The fit is great and they are extremely comfortable! I really like the design and style of these shoes. The little pop of cheetah print in the emblem is so cute! The fabric is breathable, and my feet feel great when I take them off. The support of these is incredible. As a mom to two young kids who is constantly chasing after them, I seriously have no complaints. I am new to running, and every other pair of shoes Ive tried destroy my feet and legs. I have had no issues with blisters or shin splints! and I will definitely continue to support Brooks from here on out!

My feet are no longer hurting. These Brooks are so light and comfortable.

I've been looking for a pair of shoes to replace my worn down Asics running shoe... so I wanted to give Brooks a try. One of my main concerns with running is having flat feet and needing the right amount of cushioning is important to not feel pain after running. Glycerin is light, comfortable and easy to run with. Best of all, my feet don't ache afterwards. Really happy with my first Brooks purchase! (I'm writing this review 6-7 months after purchasing and running regularly)

This really is an awesome shoe. I had to get a half size larger. Very comfortable and helps a great deal to ease my plantar fasciitis and foot pain. I literally threw out all other sneakers I owned, including brand new sneakers from another brand.

I am not a runner but an avid walker. I love the stability, support, generous toe box, light weight, and comfort of these shoes. I followed the suggestions concerning sizing, going up a half size based on other types of sneakers I have warn, and the advice was spot on. I have wide feet, troubled by bunions and resultant hammer toes. These shoes have me walking in comfort all day long.

True to size, I found that I needed more cushion in the heel and more arch support. Feet felt great, no cramping on calves or toes.

I liked the Glycerin GTS 20 better

The new Glycerin GTS 21 is the perfect balance between cushion and stability. I have found in the past you had to choose which one was more important. Thank you Brooks for getting it right! Now just dont change them!!

I have found my forever shoe! Thank you Brooks! Ive worn two other brands in my life for running, and now walking, but my feet are changing. I took your quiz online and found the Glycerin GTS 21. I ordered a pair of my regular size, but in wide. Oh my gosh! It is like walking on air. I love the cushion. The toe box in the wide size is perfect for my toes. They can stretch out, and are not squeezed. My knee and hip no longer hurt either! They are very stable too. I immediately ordered another pair in case you change anything. Worth the money. I will order one more pair when they are available in a bright color my size. Great shoes!

I am not a runner so I cant say how it would feel for a runner, I just need a good shoe for walking and standing at work so I gave it a four star rating because it was not soft enough for me but still the shoes are good for a runner

Very good support and true to size as well.

I started to feel some hip pain with my gts 20, so I was greatly anticipating the arrival of the 21s. I was not disappointed, I'm back on schedule for a half marathon in April. Once again Brooks to rescue.

I am a surgical Tech, bought these for work and they are the best purchase in shoes Ive made in a long time!!!! My feet and legs feel great after a 12 hour shift!!!!

Im wearing this sneaker for the ankle and heel support. I wear it all day, but I dont use it for running. It stops ankle pronation, and the heel support softens the impact on my knees.

I love these shoes! They are so comfortable and supportive and I love the color.

Nice color & comfortable for short term wear for me. I do much better in the Dyads. The pads in the arch area on the Dyads are the best. The Glycerin works best for me just around the house wear that is why I give it 3 stars.

I tried the Glycerine GTS 20 and the Glycerine 20. Neither pair fit me correctly. The new Glycerine GTS 21 is a complete game changer! The new design is so comfortable and the fit is fantastic. Such a big change from the other two versions I tried. I have sensitive feet and have a terrible time getting shoes to fit me comfortably. Im happy to say the new Glycerines are wonderful. Thank you Brooks for working with me! Because of your generous return policy I finally found a great pair of shoes that I love!!

Great upgrade! The fit feels the same as the prior version but the extra cushioning is a definite plus! I feel good from the beginning to the end of my runs!

Very comfortable and good support

Very few of Brooks shoes are Narrow. For me with a narrow foot, the medium Ghost fits the best and are most of my 10 pairs of Brooks shoes. This is the first time I have tried the Glycerin. I could tighten the laces enough. However the toe box was just too wide and allowed too much shifting for the front part of my foot. It was with great reluctance that I returned the shoes.

I purchased these because for some reason the 20's were discontinued? They don't fit as well as in they are tighter and for some reason shorter? I will never use them for long distance or prolonged usage. I will keep them as an emergency backup. But would not purchase them again. Still trying to find a replacement for the 20's

Upgraded from ghost. Need more cushion as I age. Please make in narrow

Does not feel like a lot of support as expected in bottom of shoe, only had for a month or so and feel like I've ran through them.
