Brooks

Glycerin 21 Shoe - Women's

I have worn the Glycerin for many years. It’s a great shoe.

Nice in cushion, a little uncomfortable on toes

The toe box is a little smaller in width and tighter on my toes. Shoes are very cushiony and comfortable, but are still burning/hurting a little on my feet during longer runs. It has been improving, they just seem to have a longer break-in period than my Adrenalines did. Overall, they are very nice, but I can't say they're my favorite Brooks shoes.

Love them!

I own a lot of running shoes and these are by far my favorite pair. As a nurse comfortable and supportive footwear is non-negotiable, these absolutely withstand a full shift and then some. I just ordered a second pair and will continue to purchase this style in the future if available. I wear a 7 in everything but the website encouraged me to size up to 7.5. The 7.5 fit perfectly and allow for thicker socks if I should do choose.

Comfy but white looks dirty

Great shoe for Disney! I have a bad back and neck, low arches and high instep, and a computer eval told me to try these! I wore insoles half of the trip and that was smart. I also weather-proofed them with a spray, so when there was a crazy down-pour, I was dry and comfy. My only complaint is that they got very dirty very easily, and even the weather/stain proofing didn’t help, nor did any cleaning products. I have these in white, and even out of the box they looked dirty because of the gray elements, so now they look really old and bad- and I only wore them a few times….. Size was spot on- I wear an 8.5 and bought a 9,5

Not enough cushion

I had huge expectations on these sneakers recommended by my podiatrist for plantar fasciitis. Well, they didn’t help at all. They are nice and comfy but there isn’t enough cushion. Returning them

Great

Great cushion and super comfortable. I run anywhere between 5-40 miles a week and these are my go to every time!

Love them

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love my brooks they are super comfortable and can be worn for long hours

Comfy, Cushiony, but Tight on Toes

For some reason this model rubs on my pinkie toes - it has never done that. I've tried different socks but it still rubs on both toes. My foot width hasn't changed (not pregnant, didn't gain weight) and the Adrenalines still fit like they should, but these are tight on the toes. Super comfortable, love the color, love the cushion, and I'll still wear them for shorter distances, but they're not going to be in my rotation for long runs.

Somethings changed

The footbed seems like it changed. I’ve purchased 15+ pairs of the glycerin and never had much issue breaking them in. These ones, my feet hurt for a bit. But still loyal to them and working them into the rotation. I work 12 hr shifts in healthcare and am hard on my shoes.

Unfortunately not enough cushion for my aging feet

I will look into returning them. I love the look and design and wanted to like them. However, they don’t have enough cushion for me. My feet hurt when I walk in them. We are all unique and they may be great for someone else. But for my 57 y/o feet they unfortunately just aren’t comfortable enough.
