I've never worn Brooks before, but I absolutely LOVE these shoes! They needed no breaking in whatsoever and the day after wearing them for the first time, I didn't have any foot or knee pain whatsoever. Unfortunately, the last brand of shoes (I'd never worn this brand before - always a tried and true Asics fan) I was running in I had a completely different experience on the first run and eventually ended up with a stress fracture in my 3rd metatarsal based on my foot mechanics and the zero forefoot drop. I had to buy 1/2 size larger than I usually do in the Glycerin's as my regular size felt too snug with my orthotics inside. Can't speak highly enough of this running shoe! Happy I gave them a try.

I am not a 'runner', but I do wear my Brooks DAILY!! I purchased my first pair after receiving an injection for plantar fasciitis. I'm attributing my Brooks Glycerins (and the shot) to having helped ward off my heel problem. They're supportive and comfortable!!
I do prefer the light gray colored sole to the white it stays 'cleaner looking'.

The shoes have a ton of support which is what I need. The weight of them is obviously going to be heavier then some of the other brooks shoes but if you are looking for a great supporting shoe then this is the one.

I have been buying glycerin for years. This one fits true to size with previous years. I stand on concrete all day at work (healthcare) and the cushion in glycerin really helps...no back, knee, or foot pain when I wear these. I like to get two colors and rotate. They are also great for running/walking due to the wide toe box, breathe-ability, and cushion. Brooks last much longer than other brands I have tried and are worth the money. My only complaint is I wish there were styles that had soles in colors other than white.

I love the Glycerins. I wish they had some better colors. The bedlam 2s and the ghost have better colors. But the glycerins are my favorite shoe to run in. I wish they would make the glycerins cuter.

I love the Glycerins. I swear by them and they are my favorite shoe to run in. The Glycerin 17s have the best design of all the glycerins in past years. Super comfortable! Everything you would want in a running shoe. I love the lavender. that is my favorite color for the 17s. I wish and hope that Brooks will make the Glycerins in cuter colors (in the future) like the Ghost or the Bedlams.

Love my new Glycerin 17. Have been wearing Brooks for about 8 years. My feet are thanking you.
Have a little wider toe box & accommodates my orthotic nicely.

Soooo many compliments on this pair! And can not beat the comfort and I do hard core boot camp classes daily at the age of 50! So comfort and support are a must along with style

I originally purchased a pair of Glycerin 15s and wore them out. I then got a pair of Glycerin 16s thinking they would be similar. They were not as soft and also a bit bulky. I thought I would try one more time and purchased a pair of Glycerin 17s and I love them. They are just as soft and comfortable as my first pair. I love them. My knees and hips love, love, love them too!

I am obsessed - experience the cushy love you need to run the long ones! This model only for me!
I probably should have bought 4 pairs....

I won't buy anything but glycerins for work (nursing). On those long days, you can totally tell a difference in your neck, back, knees, and feet. It's worth the money! Trust me, I'm a nurse. Jk, but seriously. Buy these shoes.
