I bought these for work. I do run sometimes at work but mostly stand and walk long shifts in the operating room. I'll start with the good: these shoes make me want to move. They feel good on my feet. I bought the Adrenalin shoes and they hurt my lateral foot for whatever reason. Adrenaline was my first pair of Brooks and I almost gave up on Brooks after that. I'm glad I didn't. Now, for my only gripe- I wish there were more colors. I work in an environment where shoes get stained. I bought the double black but that's boring A point worthy of honorable mention now- out of the box the right shoe squeaked terribly when I would walk. I came close to sending the shoes back but decided to keep them because they felt so good. That squeak was gone within the first few hours of wearing them. Glad I kept them!

Love the comfort and feel safe walking with a partial torn meniscus . Lately after 9 months daily wear for some reason I feel a little pressing on left pinky toe .. so my next order I am going to try the wide width. I Love the wider toe box they went to … for me it is about safety , comfort and not squishing toes or feet .. I also like the look .. of course if you’re looking down on the shoe they may look wide clown feet .. I am just thankful to feel safe, supported , comfortable and look cool too .

Fantastic shoes, extremely comfortable ride. I switched from 10 years of running in ASICS Gel-Nimbus after ASICS changed the heel drop from 13 mm to 8 mm within a generation (and forgot to make that really clear to people who have been loyal purchasers for years). I had heard great things about Brooks throughout the years, including from people who were as loyal to Brooks as I was to ASICS, and decided to give them a try. It helped that the Glycerins have a heel drop of 10 mm, which allowed me to split the difference between the old and new ASICS and readjust my gait to something more normal for me. I also used the true fit tool on the Brooks website and it told me that if I was an 8M in ASICS, then I'd be an 8.5W in Brooks. This was not at all what I expected, but I went with it, and man, is it accurate! I was able to get a perfect fit with the first try. I honestly couldn't be happier. They are amazing shoes and my new staple.

So far so good. I have so much trouble with aching feet towards the end of the day and finding shoes that keep that from happening is difficult. Even my Adrenaline are beginning to fail. This shoe seems better. Wish it were more rocker bottom sole but for now it's working

Love my Glycrin 21! I had to give up running many years ago due to heel pain. These shoes provide the ultimate cushion and I'm back to running again! Love- Love them!!

I used to wear new balances, but wanted to try something new so I've been trying so many different wide + stability shoes. I wish I'd tried these sooner and saved all that time and leg soreness. I highly recommend these for anyone getting back into running/fitness after injury (ankle, piriformis, clavicular, fallen arches). I pretty much knew from the first wear that they were the ones. They're comfortable and cushiony while walking, but it's not too much. The heel feels a little low but super softly padded and I don't have any slip. Definitely gotta pick up a second pair

My ten year old daughter has twisted legs that severely turn inward. I've spent the better part of a year getting to the root of the issues, researching and coming up with some ideas on how to help her as well as doing our best to surround ourselves with knowledgeable people. We FINALLY found an effective thing to help her in a pair of Brooks Glycerin GTS shoes. It has affected not just her gait, but her endurance, strength, balance and even her attitude! My mind is blown over how one pair of shoes can make that big of a difference. Now to try to find a winter boot with the same support .

I wish I would’ve heard of this brand years ago. Hands down the best and most supportive running/walking shoes I’ve ever worn. I purchased my first pair in blue this spring & just got the pink ones. My husband also got a couple of pairs as he said his feet feel amazing and supported (he’s very picky when it comes to athletic shoes). Looking forward to getting more colors soon.

Now that I'm wearing the correct size for my feet problems the Glycerin 21 GTS is working well for me. I will be happiest when I've broken these in - they feel a little stiff and more firm than my last Glycerin 20 GTS. The style features never fail! Suggestion: please make more color choices in the WIDE sizes of Glycerin GTS. Thanks Brooks!

Felt comfortable right out of the box. This is my 3rd pair… I have painful heel spurs and fallen arches and these are the only shoes I’ve found that can wear all day pain free!

I have had two pairs before these just older versions. I LOVE these shoes!! They never make my feet hurt. I never have back or knee problems wearing these. I highly recommend if you're on your feet all day!

This is my fourth pair of Glycerins. I've tried other Brooks shoes but always come back to this style. I have to get the wide version wish you would make them in more colors like the standard width offerings. Waiting to see what the next generation of this style will bring as I'm likely to get a pair!

I ordered a half up than usual and they fit great. The perfect amount of support and cushion. I like the boxier toe space.

Great for wide feet and incredibly cushioned and light/easy to walk in. They're also decent for over-pronation but could use more arch support IMO.
I'd also recommend:
Asics

I like the support of the Brooks Glycerin for walking. I was wearing HOKAs but they just weren't enough support in the footbed, even with my orthotics. I bought the brightest color because it makes me happy to put them on when it is grey and rainy outside. They run true to size. I cannot rate the arch support because I wear orthotics.

Absolutely in LOVE! 10/10 recommend if you need a stable sneaker. I was using Hokas Bondi before that was causing my knee issues but these are heaven sent! I am using them to train for my half marathon and use for them and I'm so excited! I can't wait to order more!
