These shoes have lots of cushion but still have a nice spring/ push off. And they are very lightweight in comparison to other cushioned running shoes I have had. The fit is fantastic! The toe box is a little wider than most. They are just so comfortable! Just what my aging knees need for running. I had a previous version of the Glycerin shoes and they still haven't fixed how hot they are. These will be reserved for cold weather running only. The style/colors are VERY ugly honestly. Sadly, most women's running shoes are. Dear Brooks - why is this? I can overlook this for the comfort and support they give. I will probably move on to something else for my next pair.

Best shoes for training, walking, running and basically everything when needing to be on foot! I’ve heard about brooks being highly recommended by family and social media influencers, but never invested as I was in my brand over comfort era. Bought these as my first pair, when I first wore them I couldn’t believe how great it felt to have space for my wide feet, especially no pain in my knee and ankle (constant previous issue in other shoes). Only thing I would say is that it took me 3 wears to avoid rubbing behind my foot, it wasn’t painful & did it hinder my comfort. But now that my feet are used to them, I literally have so much confidence in doing anything physical because I no longer worry about my feet with these shoes!

I purchased these 4 weeks ago for the gym/running/walking. I do that in some capacity 6 days a week (24 days total wear) for an hour or less typically and I don't always eve wear these shoes. After only 2 weeks I started to feel something near the toe and wrote it off as my sock being the issue. After continuing to feel something I thought maybe a leaf was in there. Finally I stuck my hand in and realized it was the lining at the toe peeling off already. I reached out to RoadRunner for support and they are unwilling to do anything to assist. Very disappointed by this shoe and even more so by the lack of decent customer service from RoadRunner.

I've been a supporter and lover of Brooks for over 30 yrs.Have bought and worn them and only them.These latest ones are the worst yet. All I'll say is I'm so glad they were on sale and I didn't pay full price. So not worth the money anymore. Have no weight to them and feel cheap. All arch support and "inbuilt rollbar" no longer exsist. The in built roll bar was why I went to Brooks in the 1st place as I had an issue with rolling in.Even my podiatrist would research which Brooks to prescribe for me as he had a sponsorship with Asics and would usually only prescribe those.So in finishing no I would not recommend these shoes. They are cheap and not worth the money when you can buy similar for less and the look, feel and do the same.
I had worn Brooks Glycerin for years. Brooks changed the design with Glycerin 17 and made it more form fitting. I guess they listened to the customer because Glycerin 20 was back with a wider toe box. I wear this shoe all the time through running and work (replenishmentmanager F/T in retail on concrete floors so Im constantly moving) My old shoes were wearing down and I have a pair of Hokas that I run in occasionally (wore those for 3 recent races to avoid knee pain, it worked) Last weekend I flew to Memphis for marathon weekend and walking through Memphis my Hokas suddenly started rubbing my little toe. Knew I couldn't do the half like that my husband went to expo the night before the half and bought me a new pair of Glycerins.

(Did have to stop around mile 4 to backpack them, but only because I forgot prior to start) I love the Glycerin and am sooo glad they went back to the wider toe box design.
Use to love the Brooks Glycerin 20 shoes but something has changed. During the past 2-3 years I have only worn Brooks Glycerin 20. Iam a daily walker and absolutely loved these shoes. Bought a new pair in July to replace a worn out pair. No issues. Then Glycerin 20 went on sale at Fleet Feet so bought an additional 3 pairs on line due to better color selection and a 4th pair at the store. NONE of them fit my right foot correctly. Now my right foot has not changed but something with these shoes has. The arch support in the right shoe partially hits my foot arch with the rest of it hits my heal. It is extremely uncomfortable as it feels like I have a large rock in my shoe. It causes my foot to throb and cramp. I kept returning these shoes to Fleet Feet and ordering ... MoreUse to love the Brooks Glycerin 20 shoes but something has changed. During the past 2-3 years I have only worn Brooks Glycerin 20.

I kept returning these shoes to Fleet Feet and ordering another color, thinking it might just be a fluke with that one pair…but alas it was not. The subsequent shoes that I purchased have had the same flaw and those have been returned. Iam now trying the Brooks Ghost Max but am not a fan. Shortly I will try the new Glycerin 21 model…perhaps the pattern for the right shoe has been corrected as I LOVE the Glycerin model but at this point unless something changes, I will no longer be able to enjoy them.
I have been wearing Brooks for many years, often purchasing two pairs at one time. The Glycerin 20 has many issues, firstly the sizing is wrong, I went up a size from my normal as the previous felt too small constricting my toes and causing toe nail pain, also the fabric on top of the toe quickly made a hole from the toenail. The tongue is annoying and seems to dig into the ankle, and the back created blisters and scaring on the back ankle. The support itself is less than all previous glycerin versions which i have worn for years. I decided to go up a size thinking this might fix some of the problems, but unfortunately not. The shoe is now too large and yet the front is still very narrow. I have now given away 2 brand new pairs of Glycerin shoes.

The shoe is now too large and yet the front is still very narrow. I have now given away 2 brand new pairs of Glycerin shoes. As I have only worn Brooks for well over 15 years I am now extremely disappointed by what appears to be a change in quality, support and sizing. I have wasted my money with the last two purchases and I am now reluctant to buy another pair of Brooks shoes in the future. Keep your return receipts when buying these shoes, as Brooks shoes are no longer the quality of the past and sizing is a problem. I gave two pairs away because I couldnt wear them from the pain they caused and upsizing didnt help because the shoe is still narrow. Disappointed and a big waste of money.
Do NOT buy online because comfort and fit varies. I tried on a black pair of Glycerins in the store and they were so comfy! However, I needed blue, so I bought the light blue/peach colored shoe online. The light blue Glycerin is small and stiff. It feels like there's no cushioning. My big toe is squeezed. I'm so confused on how just changing the color can make such a huge difference in fit and comfort. If this was how the shoe fit in store, I wouldn't have purchased it online. I gave it an extra star because they're cute, but not worth the high price tag. Will be returning these.
My experience of the Glycerin 20 black on black size 10.5 running shoe is pure joy!!I don't usually like to wear inclosed shoes, I have a long narrow foot and I just find shoes annoying. But... these shoes are extremely comfortable. Since my purchase, I've worn them everyday.They have enough width but are a fraction small in length but not enough to both me. There is plenty of cushion in the sole especially the heal and they fit perfectly around my ankle.Well done! awesome running shoe.
I bought these shoes 3 weeks ago and couldn’t be happier!! I am a healthcare worker and initially bought these shoes for work. They are both supportive and comfortable! I would definitely recommend to anyone who spends lots of time on there feet! I am also a runner and tried these shoes for a 4 mile outdoor run. I usually run in a ghost but really enjoyed the extra cushioning in the forefoot. I chose the color oreo. They are aesthetically pleasing and look great with scrubs and leggings. I will be using some Christmas money to treat myself to a second pair!
