User Review Summary
The Brooks Glycerin 21 is a “cloud‑like cushioned sofa shoe”. It’s not built to make you run your fastest, but it’s the kind of shoe that makes you say after a run: 👉 “Wow—my feet feel really comfortable!”
✔ Suitable for: beginner runners, recreational runners, long‑distance training ✖ Not suitable for: speed workouts, racing shoes / PB weapons
In one sentence: 👉 It’s not a rocket, but the comfiest sofa chair in the running world. 😄
