Glycerin 21 Shoe - Women's

Wonderful!

I love these. I had an ankle fusion last November. My surgeon recommended MBTs which I bought to begin weight bearing. Then I visited a local running shop where I tried lots on but settled on these. I’m glad I did. They are comfortable yet supportive. I used to take a size 6 but ended up in a 7.5. That was mostly for my Fused foot admittedly but I still think they probably fit in the small side. I love them.

Wanted to love them!

This is a great shoe; however my toes always went numb. I never thought I had a wide foot but maybe that was the problem? I dropped them off for Fed Ex return.

Surprisingly disappointed

I was really hoping to love this shoe. I have the glycerin 20s Which were perfect for running, however, I was really disappointed by the gender 21s. I ran about 20 miles total in the VERY cute pink glycerin 21s, And had horrible pain along the bottom of my foot. Unfortunately, I’m gonna have to stick to the older model, even though they don’t have a pink version :/

Color and Support

First of all, the color. I got the limited edition pink one and it looks EXACTLY like the picture. Such a gorgeous pink color I am obsessed. Second, the comfort. I wore these and ran in them for the first time in a half marathon (would not recommend not a smart move) and my feet felt good for almost all of the run. A lot of bounce and support and overall comfort. Your feet do not sink into the cushion which is what bothered me about my old shoes. TDLR; is a great shoe, would buy it again.

Comfortable shoe

I have been running for 30 years and was really excited for this shoe. My previous favorites have been the Asics Gel Kinsei and Brooks Glycerine. I supinate, so I need additional support and have gotten that from those shoes. Unfortunately, this shoe caused significant Piriformis pain and peoblems. The shoe is extremely comfortable and I recommend it for long distances otherwise.

Top stitching dug into foot

The Glycerin 20 and 19s fit perfectly for my feet, unfortunately the 21s fit a lot tighter around the top of the foot, with the thick stitching at the bottom of the laces digging in so much I was in agony. Please go back to your original sizing and undo whatever change made with the stitching at the bottom of the laces!!

I love these shoes. They are so comfortable. I have bunions and do HIIT style fitness at a gym. I didn't give it five stars because the colors need updating and more variety. Brooks give us more color options!

worth it!

Took a while to find the right size sent two pairs back before finding the right ones. My last pair of brooks have been going for 3 years.

I wore custom orthotics for 15 years. With these shoes, I no longer need them. Love these shoes!

Need more soft cushion

Bought them for my every day work, but since they don’t have for just work I have to pick the Glicerin 21, they are ok, but my feet need a lot more soft cushion.
