Brooks

Glycerin 21 Shoe - Women's

Not great

I returned these shoes without trialing them. Based on trying them on I could tell that they were not what I as looking for. For me this model felt like it would be slow and boring. Perhaps suitable for walking but not a runners shoe in my opinion. As a therapist and regular runner of 20 years I have big design issues with the lack of flexibility of the sole, and the negative impact this has on biomechanics. I also think that the price is a bit of a joke. On a positive note they arrived fairly promptly, and I was able to return them easily.

I’m not a runner, but I do lots of other cardio and HIIT training. These are soft and comfortable. I love them. I previously had 2 Brooks Ghost models, and I really liked them. These are better, if a bit more bulky

Comfortable shoes

These shoes are extremely comfortable. I have several health issues and these shoes are perfect for me. I can wear them all day and my feet and legs don’t hurt at the end of the day. These are my new favorites. I will definitely buy them again.

Best of the best

I’ve never experienced a shoe SO comfortable for my 12 hours days on my feet as a Nurse. I was loyal to the Ghost for so many years never brave enough to venture out and I’m so glad I did. These shoes are amazing. No longer have plantar fasciitis, sore heels, aching feet. Best nursing shoes ever!!

Soft and supportive

I'm a longtime Glycerin fan and love the Glycerin 21! They support and cushion at the same time so it feels like I'm running on soft ground even when it's hard pavement. I wore these for a recent 70.3 triathlon and they felt like a dream on my tired feet for the run portion. The new colors are fun too!

They look really wide but are very comfortable. I miss all the colors you used to have. Everything seems to be white or grey now. Bring back leopard and teal.

Comfort, softness and cushioning are the key words! It is my favorite go to shoe!!!

I use these shoes for walking distances and I love Hoyes they feel. The thicker heel and toe provide much comfort.

Disappointing

I purchased these shoes for 12 hour nursing shifts. After wearing these shoes for a few weeks, I developed heel pain. I had to see a podiatrist because the pain wouldn’t go away, even after switching back to hokas. I’ve never had issues with shoes prior to this pair, so I deeply regret purchasing them.

Great Shoes, Need more Wide options!

I bought the Glycerin 21 in wide for my trip to Japan. They were amazing right out of the box and I didn't have any foot pain or issues the entire time (walking at least 5 miles/day). My only question is why are the wide (1D) in limited colors? Please give the wide option in more than black, white, and grey. 1D widths are very common in women and shoe companies need to realize this.
