Glycerins are my go-to running shoe. I like the fit, feel and performance. I run between 25 and 30 miles per week. I coach high school cross country and track and recommend Glycerins to my athletes that prefer more cushioning but don’t want to sacrifice light weight or performance in their trainers.

Great new version of the glycerin
I always wear the brooks glycerin and it didn’t take me much time to break them in and start really logging in the miles on them. They’re very comfortable. Love the color. Will be running my next marathon in them! (I did not do a review of the durability since I haven’t had them that long, but my last pair survived a marathon in Antarctica and then some.)

Good shoe. Love the cushion though it is a little heavier than I expected. Not crazy about the colors but ok .

Comfortable supportive sneakers
I have searched for a while to find the perfect sneaker and this is it. The Glycerin 21 checks all the boxes. Good support, wide toe box and extra cushioning. I will be purchasing more pairs.
