Been wearing Brooks for years. They never fail me. I haven't ran in a few years (hip issies) but still walk 3 miles every morning. Tried another brand about 6 months ago and they didn't give me the support I needed (although super soft sole). I tried the shoe finder here and I am so glad I did!! After just 2 weeks I can already tell the difference in foot support and less pain in my hip.

My first Glycerin GTS shoe, love it! Going forward, will be my favorite choice! Had injury with pelvic and vertebrae fracture which left we with weak and unstable legs. Using for walking only, Glycerin gave me stability, support and comfortable cushion.

This she has a roomy toe box and lots of support. I have high arches so it's difficult to find the right shoes

I have some Adrenaline GTS 23s and a pair of the Glycerin Stealthfit. I absolutely love both models. At least, I thought it was love until I tried the Glycerin GTS! Oh man. I love the way the stealthfit softly hugs the top of my foot, but the forgiving space for toes, stability, and nitro packed sole on the Glycerin GTS make them the truly deserving of my love.

I usually wear a Ghost shoe. After researching different selections I opted to try the glycerin gts and I'm it's my new favorite shoe. The extra cushion is such a comfort and overall it's a great shoe.

I wear a 9 after getting me feet measured at a local store, this was a replacement for a pair i got there. It has moderate cushioning, as I tried Hoka and thought I was wearing a platform shoe. I run with my dogs in the morning, so it is not like serious road running, as they stop when they want to, and then we go off again. I have NO idea what arch support is about, so I left it at moderate.

These fit me great in the toe box the Glycerin GTS 19 were a touch snug and squashed my little toe. These are roomy and very comfortable. This is the second pair I ordered, in a different color.

This is the most comfortable shoe I've ever owned! I am a nurse and was looking for a shoe that would not ruin my feet after my 12+ hour shifts. My feet have little to no arch and are wide, it's always been a struggle to find a pair of shoes that actually fit width wise. I LOVE THESE! I bought the coconut color and this is the second pair I've purchased because they are just that good. Brooks is my new favorite shoe brand!

So comfy! I have tried other Brooks but this pair just felt the best-- I do a lot of walking and needed these for our up and coming vacation.
I'd also recommend:
New Balance

I love them! I have been running in Brooks for some time and these feel like they have the right amount of cushion without feeling like you will twist your ankle. I got them for my first Hyrox and they did great - only thing is that if you do not tie them up good, they slip on the sled pushes. For running, they are great!

Excellent shoe for working in a hospital. I do a lot of walking and standing in the IV room and these provide tons of cushion and support. Love the color combo too.

Super comfy but feel a little short in the toe box and I usually run true to size. Not sure what to expect if they'll stretch out enough but a half size up would have been too big. I did not have to stretch out my previous pair so we'll see. I would like to see this in a waterproof for winter running. But better toe box room.

A small problem arose when the new shoes arrived with damaged laces. I contacted customer service and they responded promptly. However, it will take a few days for new laces to arrive. The damage occurs right where I tie them so they are in danger of breaking easily. I have plantar fasciitis. I walk about 3 miles 5-6 times a week. I use custom insoles. I was in need of new shoes and when I started wearing these shoes, my speed increased and my foot pain level went down. The shoes feel very cushy which I was not used to. I'm generally happy with this shoe. It doesn't bind or bother my small bunion. I bought them in black. It would be nice to have more color options in wide widths. My suggestion would be purple.

My feet have been hurting recently, so I went to the foot Dr. I was told I need wider box shoes with more cushion. So I went to a running store and tried on multiple brands and this was the winner. I'm only giving 4 stars because I have not worn them yet. I also wished running companies would make cuter shoes like Sketchers or Hey Dudes as they offer bling, glitter, & metallic options. I have med size feet and ordered the wide and it fits perfectly. The added benefit is Brooks offers a military discount!

The fit and size was ok. I did not like the shoelace material. plus I like to double knot the laces and these were almost too short. I have 2 pairs of the Glycerin 19 which I am extremely pleased with. I expected these to meet that level of satisfaction but they just did not.

There’s a lot of shoe that didn’t seem necessary. Comfortable when I tried them on, but the toe box is so rounded and the heel has a lot of volume they looked like clown shoes. Returned and went with New Balance 530’s. I miss the old Brooks Glycerin that had a sleeker look

Excellent shoes for standing and walking all day. I have always had hoka's because I need a wide shoe. Brooks is now my go to shoe.

Best shoe ever. Comfy yet great support. Does not pinch my toe box. Please add more colors in wide width and maybe some water shedding ability.

I'm not a runner, but I walk my dog 2-3 times a day when the weather is decent so that we can both get exercise. I under pronate, or supinate, which has caused some hip issues, so I was looking for a well cushioned shoe with some support that would also work with my Aetrex orthotics, and this shoe fits the bill. It's incredibly cushioned and feels great to walk in or stand in. It's a little less supportive than I like, but I tend to wear a firmer, tighter shoe during the day when I'm running errands (NB 327), miles high I know this is not meant to be. Overall, I'm happy with the shoe and think it will be a good one to wear in rotation and on my longer walks. I sized up a half size (from 8 to 8.5) to allow extra room, and they fit comfortably on my narrow feet.

As a long time Brooks fan, I was interested to try another style instead of the Ghost. Turns out the Glycerin fits my mature foot even better.
