Very soft cushioning, I've noticed the the insoles seem to hold up better than any other shoe I've tried.

These shoes are very comfortable and stable. I take them a 1/2 size larger to accommodate my powerstep orthotics so that I can leave in the original insert. Also, they are great for touring in Europe and when you are walking on cobblestone.

An excellent shoe, comfortable and very well cushioned. I wear these to walk in, and I never have joint pain or tire out early. For me this is the best Brooks shoe yet.

Awesome shoes! I'm a big guy, 6'3", 250lbs and I love these shoes! They are extremely comfortable and sturdy! I am unable to run but I use them for walking, 3-4 miles every morning with my dogs. I, highly, recommend these to my family and friends! Again, great product! I will buy additional pairs for the future!

I finally took the leap and got the Glycerin 20. I had been using the Ghost and another brand for daily and long runs, but wow, what a difference in feel. The thing I noticed first was, the shoe gives a great return, after a very soft landing, almost like a rebound. I've put a little over a 100 miles on them, with the longest run being 18 miles, the shoes are holding up well. My size 11.5, weighs 335 grams, which is 40 grams lighter than my other brand, while 20 grams heavier than my Ghosts 14, per shoe. The shoes seems to fit according to size for me, so I can see ordering some more of these in the future.

Haven't put them to the test yet. But the form and fit are spot on much like the Adrenaline line. The new blue/orange color was a bonus! Thinking about a second pair already. Two thumbs up!

So far Comfortable. I'm not a runner but I use them for the treadmill in the gym. I was using Ghost 14 but had a problem with one. So I am trying this sneaker.

I have a knee injury recently and been struggling with getting back to running. Glycerine works perfect for running and casual walks. I am so happy with it.

If I had these 30 years ago when I was running maybe I wouldn't be using them now for walking! The "extra" cushioning that these have, provide the comfort that these old hips, knees and plantar fasciitis need. The support is right for me. Size is true. These will now replace Adrenilines as my favorite shoe. The only negative is that the laces won't stay tied!

Ordered this shoe for my husband who has had some Achilles/ calcaneal issues and has had pain for a while only when exercising. He reports zero pain now when he wears these shoes to the gym. The new shoes along with a stretching and strengthening program (which I prescribed for him - I am a DPT) have bee the perfect combination for his recovery!

I am 6'5" and 240. These are a great shoe! Very nice cushion, light, and handle my size well! I am a 15 wide shoe and these shoes are true to size. Also, I'm 60 and my knees, hips, and lower back really love these shoes! I recommend them highly.

Love these shoes! Supper comfortable. Wore them on a recent trip to NYC. Walked all day in them, including through a 3 hour food tour and to a Broadway evening show. My feet and knees (including my new one) still felt great at the end of the day.

My favorite everyday shoe. Comfortable for all day wear and the all black is subtle but cool and goes well with anything. I'm actually wearing them right now at the moment

These shoes are very comfortable. Super light, very soft cushioning, and excellent ventilation. I use these as my daily casual shoes. I like the Cascadia 16s for my walks and runs, they provide more support and traction for all terrain.

So far, these are my favorite Brooks shoes since the old Transcends that got me hooked on Brooks in the first place. They are incredibly comfortable and have an excellent balance between excellent support and that "cloudlike" running feeling many of us love. I have run/exercised in them for multiple weeks now, and they are at the top of my rotation. I really hope that they hold up long term, as they are my new favorite running shoe. I want to remove a star, but only because I hate that shoe companies don't provide decent colorways for people like me with wide feet. However, I will remain at five stars on this review because the feel of these shoes is perfect thus far, even if I didn't get the colorway I wanted.

Having just recovered from a big toe fusion, these shoes are a Godsend. Tremendous cushioning, room for my still tender/swollen toe and light mesh for keep the feet cool this summer. I was a Ghost devotee but now I'm sold on the Glycerin 20

I'll be buying another pair. I'm a Walker and I don't even notice I'm wearing them. They are my first Glycerins. I've had/have 4 other styles of Brooks and I say these are the most comfortable. Very stylish with the white dots and dashes on a black shoe.

These shoes are incredibly comfortable! I'm not a runner, but I am very active, walk a lot for work and pleasure, and have a few issues with my feet that cause pain. I recently threw away several old pairs of shoes from various brands and chose to replace them with this pair of Brooks Glycerin 20s and a pair of Hoka Clifton 8s. Both shoes are very comfortable and work great, but I like these a little bit better! They are the best fit, the most comfortable, and the most accurate to the picture compared to the Hokas. Don't get me wrong, I like both brands, but this has been the biggest hit so far! I love that the sole on these is actually a light grey color as opposed to white. Doesn't show dirt and scuffs as much, and it looks exactly as pictured! Also, I typically wear a 15 or 16 depending on the brand. Many brands don't make 16s in most styles, so I go with 15s. Sometimes the 15s are just too small, but these 15s are perfect, which is why I selected that they fit a little roomy and run a little large. So, if you're in between sizes, you may want to go down to the lower size, but overall these shoes fit incredibly well!
