One star. I really liked these shoes. I ordered one and have to send it back due to its fabric breaking apart on the first 2 days of trying them on. I ordered it again , I gave it a second chance and re-ordered it. They have a great fit! True to size. The material feels nice, unfortunately, the material broke again after the first two weeks of wear. This is definitely not well constructed. Not worth the money I put into it. This is going back!

I own the same shoe but in a different color and the ones I recently purchased aren't near as comfortable

Have bought these before but these are not comfortable. Not sure what happened. Just seems like they changed something.

I have been using brooks for past 10 years and they have been amazing shoes. However, the glycerin 20 has changed and is very uncomfortable compared to the previous versions. I really hope they undo whatever change they have made in this version.

after I have been running in the glycerin 19 for years and loved them, this shoe was a definite failure. It feels like a brick (balancing) and gave me intense back and hip pain. As soon as I went back to my old 19 those issues were resolved. So, clearly the shoe. I hope Brooks brings the 19 back.

I was sent a worn shoe! If I spend $160, it should be untouched!

Please bring back the old Glycerins! The old glycerins were 10x the shoe this new model is.

Awful shoes. They are completely falling apart. Very uncomfortable and poorly built. I have worn these shoes for roughly 5 months and about 3 times a week. The bottom is separating from the shoe and the front mesh is torn. Very disappointed!

I have adrenalin for several years but the 22 lost quality bad time!!! Not yet boy the sole but also the interior. The fabric is destroying itself.. I still have a 20 that is much better shape. I was looking for a 23 to see if it was better but it seems that there is not a 23. the 22 is junk!

I've been going through 3 pairs of Glycerine shoes per year for 5 years now because its the only Brooks shoe I can run in. Over-all, they've been great...until the version 20. This is the worst version of the Glycerine I've ever put on my foot, and frankly, it's the last. The toe box is enormous in comparison to all previous versions. The fit is longer than previous versions (18 & 19) and running is far less comfortable and enjoyable. Stop changing your shoes! Bad move, Brooks!

I'm so disappointed in this model. Brooks why do you change the size of the shoe every year? I had to go down a full size in the model. Additionally I have pain on the top of foot from this model. I went back to wearing my 19's. The heel cup of model is also less stable. I've worn brooks glycerin for 15 years. I'm gonna give the glycerin 21's a try but if they are also a huge disappointment I'm switching brands

Very disappointed. Not like brooks glycerin I have had in past. Used to be a great show. Going to try some new brands.

The Glycerine 19 was a brilliant shoe. The 20 is just all wrong. The footbed and upper curves into the space where your big toe belongs. Brooks has inexplicably widened the shoe as well. The foam sole is oddly contoured with irregular cushioning with no apparent logic. This is another example of brooks trending toward "sneakers" for walkers and fashion instead of running shoes for runners.

Toe box is too wide. I've been using glycerin for years, but I had to return their model. The model should not change this much every year

I've been wearing them as a daily walking shoe walking shoe for the past week with 10-18 miles per day. The heel cup in the insole seems very narrow vs. the last pair of Glycerin GTS 20 that I've worn for a year and these new ones absolutely kill my feet. I'm not sure what has changed, but they are nearly unwearable. The cushion level is there, but the fit is horrible.

Hole in top of one shoe. I wear theses for work and at three days a week I expected them to last longer. Bought them in august 2022. Too expensive to start wearing out so soon. Save your money and skip buying these.

Purchased these as a walking shoe as I walk 10 miles per week. After 3 months the heal support is non existent . I cannot even think about putting these shoes back on. $ 160.00 is a lot to spend for 3 months use only for the heal support to fail I have worn Brooks for 10 + years and tried them all , I am going back to the Adrenaline as they are the best performers . I would not recommend the Glycerian for walkers
I'd also recommend:
Adrenaline

My husband wore them one day to work as a nurse and the orange sole separated from the bottom. A large area on one shoe and small are in the second shoe. We have sent them back for a return. He had to tape the front part to get through his first day.
