Glycerin doesn't come in X-Wide, Ghost does. GTS also means it's waterproof. Which model has more depth, Glycerin or Ghost? Which has a wider toe box? All you said was the Glycerin toe box "is different". In what way? Is it wider?

[@Seatrucker1974]

Great info. I couldn’t decide between the two but now I’m going for the glycerin because of the toe box which is what I was looking for. Thanks

I bought the Ghost 16. No complaints thus far as a daily road trainer. Wouldn't recommend for speedwork.

Thanks Ryan! This was really helpful!

I have been waiting on this review. Thanks so much. I loved my Glycerin 20, but I don't like the feel of the increase stack height in the Glycerin 21. And they look like clown shoes now. So I decided to go with the Ghost 16.

[@sunnyday2106]

Good detailed review. I just wish you'd show women version too.

Do you think the Glycerin upper will stretch out over time? Love the Glycerin underfoot but the upper feels quite thick against my toes

[@moneyisking777]

I like brooks beast and glycerin

How do the arches compare? The arch in the ghost 15 is just a little too much for me

[@robbassett168]

I noticed that also when I tried them on. Didn’t remember the arches being so pronounced on the Ghost 15’s.

Brooks has changed their shoes for the worst lately. I loved the Ghost 10, 11 and 12, and the Glycerin 15, 16, 17, 18 and 19’s. But the Ghost 13-16 and the Glycerin 20 and 21’s are all way too firm. They kill my feet! I’m not a runner but am on my feet a lot and walk a lot. Wish Brooks would go back to their softer foams.
