Love it! I would buy it again and recommend it for work. Feet don't hurt anymore being on feet for 12hrs shift!

Fit is perfect. According to my husband, these are the most comfortable Glycerin models yet. He wears them for everything, all day, every day. His only complaint is that the color choices of the wide sizes are so limited. Come on Brooks, give the men who wear a wide, more choices!

I've been buying the latest version of the Glycerin for several years now. They're a comfortable, durable high-cushion neutral shoe. The latest version claims a new cushion material but I can't tell the difference yet. The styling on this latest version is particularly sleek (I go with the all-black upper and sole version). I'm a low-mileage runner (10-15 miles / week) and typically get 5-6 months out of a pair before the cushion feels depleted.

Still retains that Cadillac fit, and pillowy soft (but not bouncy) cushioning...

First pair of Brooks shoes I've purchased and I regret not doing so years ago. I've run 50+ miles the past two weeks and have had no discomfort whatsoever. Incredibly comfortable, supportive and well made shoes.

I've owned the 18, 19, and now the 20. I think the 20 is as close to perfect as I could hope for. I can feel the difference in the cushioning, but more importantly there is more room in the toe box without the heel area being too loose. The 19 in particular felt a little tight in the toe box area for me. I won't hesitate to pick up another pair, and I sincerely hope Brooks leaves this design alone for a while. I'm not sure what you could make better that wouldn't make something else worse.

I love my shoes. I'm not a runner. I've had both hips replaced and I wanted a shoe that was extremely supportive and comfortable. These shoes are wonderful and I'm more than happy with my choice.

I'm not a runner but I've worn glycerine shoes for their outstanding cushioning ever since having reconstructive surgery on my foot many years ago (I started with 8's). In the past, I've always had to break the shoes in slowly to keep from aggravating my foot, but the glycerine 20s were amazing from day one. So-o-o soft and bouncy and comfortable with no fatigue. They are a clear level up from an already great shoe. I only wish more of the colorways came in wide sizes (13 EE)

I used to be die hard Dyad, but got bored with no new colors. Glycerin is just as good, although I prefer the wider tongue. Love them regardless - only ever wear Brooks!

These shoes are so comfortable and make a nice compliment to my Ghosts. Very happy I purchased them. As described they definitely have a soft cushion feel when your foot lands.

I worked in run specialty for 13 years. I have worn A LOT of shoes and I say you would be hard pressed to find a better combo of neutral cushioning and energy return in a light weight package.

What I loved about my first pair of brooks was how well the heel is secured. I first got the ghosts 13 then 14 and I was about to upgrade to 15, but my local running store suggested trying the Glycerin 20 and all I can say is this is such a fantastic show. I already liked the ghosts but these I love!

I have struggled with plantar fasciitis pain for a while and have tried different shoes and inserts. In general I have managed it by both limiting the frequency of my runs and active recovery like icing. These have been the best thing for my feet with no additional inserts. Incredibly soft to walk and run in. They have helped me begin to enjoy running again and have significantly reduced my pain and recovery time.

These shoes are incredible comfortable. I've never owned high quality running shoes. Haven't actually taken a long run in them yet, but the difference I feel just going for a quick jog or running with my dog outside is incredible. My vans feel like I'm standing directly on concrete compared to these things and they've made my shifts standing at work so much more comfortable. I highly recommend!

Wonderful shoe, This is my first time buying the glycerin Brooks usually buy the
Adrenaline but these are a lot more comfortable. The thicker sole makes a big difference. Love this shoe.

Love this sneaker! Read a review in a magazine and thought to give it a try. I am going to buy a second pair so I have one when the first one gets worn out.

Usually buy the ghost but they changed the ghost 15 and they don't feel great this year. The gycerin 20 are comfortable and lightweight, springy yet stable. Will buy again. Need to try adrenaline though.
