Customer Reviews Brooks Glycerin 20

I've had other styles of Brooks, but for some reason the Glycerin 20's gave me issues. Uncomfortable to run in, not much arch support, and extremely uncomfortable in the toe box for some reason, even after a few runs.

Well, need to say that Brooks' Women's Glycerin is no longer what it used to be. I have to purchase inserts to add more cush' to the shoe. Wish you'd pass this review onto Brooks'. I've purchased their shoes for several years now as they were quality shoes. Not so anymore. Wish they'd go back to how they were making them in the first place. They are priced too high for the product anymore and the fine 'cushion feel' is no longer there....Sorry, but just 'sayin.'

This 10EE is a full size larger than my existing 10EE Brooks running shoes. Clearly Brooks has a problem. And I don't get it.

The cushion in the left shoe was too stiff for comfort.

I have flat awkward feet, and looking for comfortable running shoes is a never-ending adventure. I had heard good things about the Glycerin, and I decided to try it out despite not finding much success with Brooks. While walking was okay, and the footbed was somewhat bouncy, running was an awful experience. One run later, and my knees were killing me. It was like running on concrete. Barefoot was better than this. While there is some amount of cushion in the heel, there is nothing towards the toes. It is also much wider than expected, similar to a New Balance 1080. The only shoe that has worked for me thus far is the Nike Pegasus, even though its not as plush as I like.

I’ve been a Hoka and On Cloud fan the past few years, but their quality and consistency has gone down significantly over time. I think they’ve become too popular. Bought the Brooks Glycerin 20, which is the first time I purchased Brooks that I can recall. Fit and cushion are important to me. I need a wider toe box and this has it in the medium width. The wide width was too wide. The forefoot and heel are well cushioned. The only problem with these shoes is the tongue. It slides to the outside of the foot, which makes the laces loose and the shoe uncomfortable. For this reason, I cannot recommend this shoe.

Width of toe box was fine but the “height” left too much space.

The fit was fine. However, he sent me a used pair of shoes that are water stained halfway up the soul with sunflower seeds and other debris stuck in the treads. What is going on?
