Customer Reviews Brooks Glycerin 22

Nope - Returned. Have worn Brooks for years. Way too much outside heel!

Fit and size were good and I absolutely love Brooks Glycerin shoes. Problem with this one...I did NOT like the color. It is clearly purple. I was disappointed with the color and look forward to my next pair of Glycerins. I'll be more careful in choosing the color (although it was described as: Color:Blue Ribbon/Peacoat/Dianthus. Perhaps I should have looked at what "Peacoat/Dianthus" colors are!!!!! Otherwise, shoe itself fit and otherwise is great!!!

I typically wear an 11 wide in sneakers. These were a half-size to full size too small. There is also this huge cushion at the heel so every time you walk, it the cushion presses up and into the back of your leg/ankle; it was uncomfortable. The toe box was too narrow, my pinky toe was squished against the side and even walking to try them on my toe was rubbing against the side. These are definitely not a wide shoe. I bought the White/Limpet Shell/Amparo Blue color and it's beautiful, but sadly it's going back because of the bad fit.

I’ve been wearing Brooks for years and loved the Glycerin 21 shoe. I really don’t like the 22. The lacing system is horrible and makes for a strange & uncomfortable fit across the top of my foot. I’ve been trying to adjust to these but after 3 months and hundreds of miles and trying different ways to lace these, I’ve given up. The also heel fits different than prior models, and I’m not getting the support there but maybe I’ve been subtly adjusting my form b/c of the fit across the top. I can’t find the 21 anywhere in my size so I will probably go back to the Ghost.

Unfortunately not for me. I first tried my usual size 7 W and they were way too small, barely could get them on. So I returned and went up a full size to 8 W. I could get them on and they just fit, but they were still sooo tight. They are not a true wide. The toe box narrows at the top, so my toes felt so squished and I had to loosen the shoe laces like all the way just to get a more comfortable fit. Which looked stupid because then there was a small gap between the tongue and the rest of the shoe. I'd say these are not meant for people with wide feet and a high instep.

it was uncomfortable

I have been wearing Glycerin's for years and this shoe is very clunky and uncomfortable compared to all my other Glycerin's. Sadly - they aren't for me this time.

Soles are as hard as bricks! Loved the style but couldn’t get past the hardness of the sole.

Not happy. Pretty shoe though

This item was very disappointing. The foot felt like the heel cup did not support that area. Cut too short in the back. Cushioning lacked big time. Right foot leaned inward. Not comfortable at all. Botttom line - - waste of time.

Disappointed in how they have changed the sizing on this shoe. They ruined it. I’m now exactly in between a size 9.5-10. Neither fits well.

Brooks glycerin design has changed and it’s no longer a great shoe. I went to my local store to try on other brands & brooks styles bc I had to start over. The sales person said brooks shoes are all getting more narrow and harder for customers to fit/wear comfortably. SUCH a DISAPPOINTMENT

Brooks Glycerin was my go to shoe for 15 years. In the last few years they’ve been tweaking the toe box and a few have been a big miss. Glycerin 20 was great, but 21 and 22 continued bad design choices. I used to feel like this was MY shoe. Not any more and I can’t find a single brooks style that feels comfortable like the brooks glycerin used to. Go back to the glycerin 20 please! I wish I bought more pairs.

I have been wearing glycerins for years and this latest version is very uncomfortable. I don’t know what is different, but they are not good.

I've been using Brooks for 15 years, and this is the first time I've had my heel come out of the shoe.

These shoes were for my daughter. She felt they were too tight in the back of the shoe.
