I tried these and the 22s. I wanted to love these. As a die-hard brooks fan and healthcare worker, I own 6 pairs of glycerin 21's and put a lot of miles in my shoes. Since the 21s are no longer being made, I've been searching for a comparable shoe. These felt more comparable to the 21s over the 22s, overall. (Especially in the toe box) But these are significantly wider around the heel/ankle. Despite adjusting how I tied the laces, they still felt too big around the ankle and my heel would slip out. The cushion is nice and would probably be a great running shoe but I found these hurt my feet by the end of the day. After wearing for three days, I started developing plantar fasciitis. These shoes also take a bit to get used to due to the cushion height. Unfortunately, I'll be returning and will have to branch out of the Brooks brand now for next pair. Please bring back the 21s!
