Fit was ok, but narrow over the arch & on lateral side. I got the wide version but still had tight feeling in midfoot by arch. Very cushioned, but don't think sole will hold up. The toe box was wide enough & had enough volume. But overall the shoe felt it would give me blisters, so I returned it. Going to stay with the ghost 16. Nice wider platform & toe box. And that was just a medium width. Do varies by model. Also had to size DOWN on the glycerin 21, to a 10 Button but size 11M with ghost 16. Go figure

After wearing the Brooks glycerin 20 I ordered the new 21 version and am disappointed in the changes that were made. This version seems much wider and looser than the previous one and doesn’t hug my foot the way it should. I am at a crossroads, since the 20 is no longer available at Zappos, but I am not sure about keeping this one. AftAAfBe specific about your likes and dislikes. How was the fit and size? What does the material feel like? How awesome (or not) do you feel wearing them?

Its unfortunate that Brooks has changed so many of their shoes. I have been a committed Brooks purchaser across many of the styles for many years and all of the styles have been changed to the point they no longer fit the way they used to. I'm all for change to improve but it appears this is not the case across many of the styles. For these, the toe box seems shorter and narrower.

First order was too big. This shoe I have tried to like. It is rough on the inside on my bunion on left foot and the shoes are just too heavy and cloddy feeling

These shoes arrived and they were clearly used and previously returned as the bottoms had dirt on them and the shoe strings were sloppy, def not a new shoe. Very disappointing as it is a $160 shoe.

These felt great out of the box. I have had several versions of the Glycerin and it is my go to for walking. The base does seem wider than last series, but I am ok with that. I got the royal blue with pink (salmon in my opinion) color on bottom.

These glycerin sneakers are a perfect addition to the glycerin line. They are comfortable and cushioned so each step provides a great "bounceback" from the cushioning. I would have preferred to have a different colored shoelace. The black ones are too much of a contrast from the green of the sneaker. I probably will change them out for white laces.

I got these for my 94yr old Mom. This is her first pair of Brooks sneakers and she said she couldn't even tell she had shoes on. They are so comfortable.. I actually have a pair just like hers and I love them too... Thats all I wear is Brooks...

Wow! I didn’t realize how badly my feet hurt until I tried these shoes. Sweet relief! These shoes are light, supportive, and cute. These have improved my quality of life. Very worth the cost.

Love these shoes. Extremely comfy. Bought 2 of the exact same pair. Fits like a glove and feels like walking on a cloud. Highly recommend. Feels true to size and width.

Just got them, but they seem good so far. I had the previous model and was very happy with them. I did get my regular size first and then decided to exchange for next size up.

These shoes feel so comfortable. It's possible that they're slightly larger than they should be for size, but that's OK with me. The white, outward- slanting base around these black shoes do make them look even more gigantic than they are and I'll probably dye it black.
