My critiques of the shoe (which I knew going into purchasing it but chose it anyway) are that in comparison to the Levitate, there is perhaps too much cushion and so it is a little clunky and I lack sensitivity of the ground. It's more of a walking than running shoe in this regard, I think it might hamper my speed if using for running, but I use it exclusively for long walks and at work, and it will fit my needs just fine for the season. It also kind of looks like a "clown shoe" due to so much rubber on the bottom/sides - I don't care about this myself, but just to note for those ordering this online. I'll probably end up gravitating toward a different pair for the future, but it will work well for me for now. Thanks again Brooks for your spectacular customer service!

Then I ran on the road and it felt a bit too think and heavy. Then I returned to NYC where I run on a gravel trail in Central Park and on my first run, I found it VERY awkward with zero toe-off to propel myself and a lot of fatigue. On the plus side, my knees, hips, back and neck were not in pain after my run which can sometimes happen (I'm so misaligned, lol) so I allowed myself to recover and then ran again today and it felt very different than the first difficult run. This time, while there still was little toe-off and the leg fatigue hitting me faster than I'm used, I realized that I could feel my calf muscles more elongated and my butt muscles activated and realized that the fatigue might have more to do with a different part of my body being activated that wasn't activated before. And a part of my body that I WANTED to work out more anyways, so maybe this was actually a good thing! Also, the run was far easier than my first attempt on the gravel trail. Then I ran on NYC concrete back to my apt and noticed how wonderful the cushion was this time, allowing me to run longer than usual when on concrete.So... all this to say: I think my body is simply adjusting to the lower heel/toe drop, the higher cushioning (which may be harder for me to run in when I'm already physically exhausted, but it's certainly more protective) and I want to give this a few more weeks of running in Central Park to see if I stick with this or return to the Ghosts... Thank goodness for their 90-day return policy that allows you to actually try out the sneakers... Very grateful, Brooks!

I power walk daily in these shoes pushing my 28 kg elderly Golden Retriever and also feel secure and stable when it is wet. I don’t think the Glycerin 21 GTS are as stiff to wear as the Glycerin 20 GTS, which was still a good shoe, but these are better.

The fit and feel of this shoe is everything I know the Brooks brand to be. Durable materials, lightweight and well made. They are comfortable, snug without being tight, cushioned well from the balls of my feet through the arches to my heels. I feel like I'm almost bouncing when I walk. These are overall very nice shoes, especially in functionality, which is paramount for me. I've worn these at the running track and around my neighborhood and really like the feel.I will say, though, that I don't love the look and design of these. The toe box is pretty wide, and the bottom bubbles out in a way that make my feet look kind of boxy and weird. I typically like a slender shoe or sneaker, and this just isn't that.

I would also prefer a little more design in terms of color - these are solid black and would work great for work shoes in a restaurant or as good shoes to go with a work uniform, but they definitely aren't what I would consider fashionable. Again, not their intended purpose, per say, but I'm not sure I'd buy this particular style again. Just a bit boring and boxy for me.

The additional support and profile works well in versatile environments. My new go to sneaker for both running, working out and leisure.

I have had an Achilles heel injury for the last year. It has taken a long time to heal. After wearing a walking boot for three months, I was told to transition out of the boot and into the running shoes I had already ( another brand). But I was having trouble making the transition to those shoes. So my husband took me to Dicks Sporting Goods and I was able to tell the shoe department employee what my specific problem was. She made suggestions and I tried on several pairs of shoes. I chose the Brooks Glycerin 21 shoe as it felt the best on my heel. I love the padded with nitrogen injected heel for total comfort and I like the way the front of the shoe is curved so it easily rolls when I walk causing less strain on my heel.

I love the comfort so much , I bought another pair in another color!

I have run many miles in lots of different running shoes, I am not particular about a certain brand as long as they are comfortable! I love to run outside - I run for enjoyment, fresh air and relaxation! I can run in almost any running shoe, I have no injuries, and need no special support when I run. I just lace up shoes and take off.These shoes run a bit small in length- I would order a half size up next time. They are definitely more soft and cushioned than I have ever run in before. I even feel taller when I wear them. They have a wide cushiony base that you can see (and feel) when you look down at the shoe. It’s a little too much cushioning for me, and the shoe base feels wide on impact (the fit isn’t too wide!)- so i would only want to run forward in them- ...

My favorite thing about these shoes is how incredibly light weight the shoe is- particularly given how much cushioning it feels like it has. The material is light and breathable, and the laces hold well when tied. If you are looking for a light-weight but durable, well-cushioned shoe, Glycerin 21 is the one!

Its the only running shoe that allows me to completely focus on my run and not think about what's on my feet and how I should be landing. This quality has made it my favourite trainer but its so good for walking and general athletic use that I use it for pretty much everything now.

The issue I have with all of the Brooks shoes I have ordered in the last two years is the tongue of the shoe. Full disclosure: I'm not a runner, but I am a shoe wearer who wears these Brooks shoes all day long for comfort and stability. I noticed a strange aching discomfort at the end of the day on the top part of my foot in the upper ankle area. This has gone on for so long that I went to see a doctor and got scans only to finally come to the conclusion that it's these Brooks shoes I've been buying/wearing all day.

This has gone on for so long that I went to see a doctor and got scans only to finally come to the conclusion that it's these Brooks shoes I've been buying/wearing all day. The tongue is especially long in the center and also can slide to the side leaving the corner poking into that part of your ankle. The design department needs to revisit this issue because previous versions of this shoe along with other lines like Adrenaline had shorter, flatter tongues that did not cause as much of an issue (see pic comparison). I love the shoes, hate the unnecessary pain, and the fact that I spent a lot of money for an unnecessary doctor's visit w/diagnostic testing (since my insurance is so terrible). Since you may not be able to tell what I'm talking about based on the online pictures advertising this shoe, I'm posting my own pics to show this tongue which is found on the latest versions of the shoes of Glycerin 21 along with the others I mentioned. I bought Ghost Max because tongue piece appeared in the ad pic to be a little straighter, lower, less angular than these, but it still causes an aching discomfort when I remove my shoes at end of day just not to the degree that the Glycerins do. I didn't get an Adrenaline version this year because of ugly colors/design. Aside from the tongue piece issue, which sadly is proving significant or I would not have sought a dr and been willing to pay the medical bills, the shoe feels great. It has a similar Ghost Max cushiony sole (without the heel drop feeling that Ghost Max has). Brooks please reduce the size of the tongue pieces! You did before 19 versions and prior, I know you can do it again. If this is a runner enhancing design, can you make a shoe with a removable tongue piece and sell an alternate piece for non-runners that could be attached?

I'm an avid 56yo Brooks girl. I'm not an avid runner, but I do jog on the treadmill and walk 3/4 miles 3/5x a week. My last Glycerins are the 19's, and I LOVE them but when I say these 21's have SO MUCH MORE CUSHION, without feeling heavy or bulky, omg! I appreciate the extra cushion to protect my 56yo joints. The only thing I've noticed is that after a few miles, the balls of my feet start to burn a little bit. I'm not sure if my Glycerin 19's did that...maybe its my socks, so I ordered different socks and will update if I can figure out how, lol. It's not a debilitating burn at all, and it does go away once I'm done walking, so maybe its just my gait/pressure points. I've received compliments on the light pink I purchased.

I normally wear a 7.5 in shoes, but I always go up in running shoes. I got an 8 in these (they fit perfectly), whereas in the Glycerin 19's I needed an 8.5 because the toe box is smaller. I've had these for about 10days and so far they're fine. I gave 4 stars only because of the slight burning mentioned above, otherwise, for me, its a 5 star shoe.
