Why We Like The Brooks Glycerin 21 Shoe

The Brooks Glycerin 21 Shoe is back again for another run just like we are. These maximum cushion road running shoes boast a breathable and supportive warp knit upper, an evolved DNA LOFT v3 midsole that drives us forward mile after mile, while the 10mm of drop helps us set new PR's or keep pounding the pavement for a few extra miles.

Stack height is to high

I preferred a glycerin 20s over the 21s. I do not like the new increased stack height on a 21s. I’ve almost twisted my ankle a couple times and I think they look like clown shoes on my feet. I return my pair and now I’m wearing the ghost 16.

Glycerin: The Positive & The Negative

Purchased 020 - Black/Black/Ebony Men’s Size 9.5 Width medium. The positive: good amount of cushion. The negative: Color says black, but the color is clearly grey. Brooks’ swoosh logo has a leopard print look to it. I don’t know any men who like leopard print. Toe box is ridiculously too wide. Looks like those floppy shoes on a clown. I had high hopes for this shoe. Last shoe I really liked was Ghost 14 GTX in Black. Ghost 15 tread wore down quickly and cushioning didn’t last long.

Not as good as Glycerin 20. I work in healthcare. My run to the car parking about a couple blocks away quickly started to hurt the medial part of my feet wearing these.

Most comfortable shoes

I’ve tried other brands, but, when I switched to Brooks, knee pain went away. They are very comfortable shoes that have helped me in my long distance walking-6miles 4-5x/week and I bought a pair for work as well.

Must buy for Runnders

I have always loved Brooks and this shoes did not disappoint! I must say this is easily the best running shoes I owned. Yes, it is a bit expensive but it is all worth it. Absolute value for the money. It seems like I am running on a sponge when I am running with Glycerin 21. I look forward to many more running journey with this one! Great innovation by Brooks! THANK YOU

My feet were in heaven when I first put on the shoes... and felt the cushy outsole. Have worn the shoes for 100 days and walked 325 miles... and I'm happy to report that there's been a little compression of the outsole, however, the shoes are comfortable, light-weight, very stable, no heel slippage, and best of all... hardly any wear of the outsole... maybe I can get a 1,000 miles out of the shoes by year's end.

New Brookes gel infused 21 range

I am very happy with my new trainers and can definitely feel the upgrade to the range. There is definitely more support and comfort while running.

Great shoe, but color is off; red, grenadine and salsa = orange

I love the Glycerin. This is my second pair. I was excited to see them available in "red" – grenadine and salsa, to be precise. My ONLY complaint with these shoes is that the "red" – grenadine and salsa – has more orange in it than the pictures are able to convey. So much so that when I wear my red shorts or red shirts with these shoes, they don't look red, but closer to a neon orange. We don't do orange here. Go DAWGS!!

Excellent support yet light and extremely well cushioned. As an upper-midsole striker, the 21 is PERFECT. Feels like this shoe was custom made for me. Comfort, stability, and light weight - all in one.
