I used to wear Brooks all the time. Loved the Ravenna model. When that shoe was changed I switched over to Hoka. This year I decided to try Brooks again and chose Glycerin primarily for the arch support it provides. I love this shoe! It is very comfy and provides excellent support on my walks. I walk 4 miles a day I've worn these shoes every day! I returned my Hoka shoes and bought another pair of Glycerin in a different color.

I did not buy these shoes for running, I bought them for work. I'm a RN, with plantar fasciitis, and these shoes are absolutely wonderful. Lifesavers indeed.

I was an avid ASICS Gel Kayano user for years and wanted to try something different. I felt asics quality was lacking and started to run small in the newer models. These right out of the box were a perfect fit and instant comfort. I have a more narrow foot Sz 12 for reference. I've worn them about 10 times with use on treadmill without having to break them in. My new favorites and I love the design.

I tried the Ghost 15s before these and they just weren't for me. These are exactly what I was looking for! It's crazy how much of a difference the right shoes make for an enjoyable run. They're super comfortable, fit perfectly, and they're super cute! I'm glad that I jumped in and spent a little more on shoes than I normally would.

I have been running in Ghosts for years and walk/work (I'm a nurse) in the Adrenalines, both of which are amazing. I'm a neutral runner with a midfoot strike and I like a good amount of cushion/support. The Glycerin 20s are amazing! Very supportive and soft yet responsive and I can still feel the road. The toebox/ball of the foot is very bouncy and gives a smooth transition. The toebox is roomy for my bunions yet not too roomy where sizing is affected. I got normal medium width. I feel like these run a tad small in length. I am usually a 7.5 in Ghosts and 8 in Adrenalines, usually 7s in other shoes and I was an 8 in these and feel like my toe is close to the tip of the shoe. Still very comfortable and a right fit but if you are on the fence or inbetween two sizes I would go up!
Overall a very good shoe for walking and running. Very impressed!

I had tendon surgery in my foot. Podiatrist recommended Brooks. I went to store and these fit like a glove. The support is phenomenal and so comfortable. I did go up a half size. All my other shoes are a 9 but when I got fitted for these; the half size up fit perfect. I bought another pair for when I am able to go back to work. (standing/running/walking for 8 hours). Love these!

My first time trying them! I used to wear the style Ghost all the time until I found out that I need to Glycerin GTS. They are very comfortable, great support, and breathable! They also are light weight as well.

I am not a runner. These may be called running shoes, but they are the best I've ever found for walking. I do several miles each day and, even though these run large, nothing compares.

I have flat feet and the problems that come along with all of that. The brooks adrenaline and glycerin really help. I like the glycerin slightly more comfortable but they both help my feet. Also tried hoka but they weren't as supportive.

I'm not a runner. I bought these shoes at the recommendation of my podiatrist. I have some nerve pain in my toes. Usually I have problems with sneakers in the arch area, but these shoes have been perfect. They're really comfortable, they don't hurt my arches, and because someone mentioned in a review that they run small they fit just right. I can wear anything from an 8.5w to a 9w so I ordered the 9w and there's just enough room. I found them by taking the shoe fit quiz. I highly recommend it. These shoes add stability and plenty of padding for comfort. They're great shoes. The only caveat is that they run small.

These running shoes are extremely comfortable. I walk every day and my legs and feet never feel stressed. I really love the color also.

After two days of wearing my Glycerins, my entire life changed! It sounds dramatic, I know. I've finally found exactly what my feet (and my back) needed after spending YEARS searching for the perfect kick. Can't wait to buy these in every color. Seriously, there's no going back to another shoe after this.

I have found my running/walking shoe!! This is the most comfortable running shoe. I have only used on three runs so far, and so far it is the most comfortable. I own two other brook running shoes and love them, but this one is my favorite. Planning on running on these on my next half marathon.

Love the Glycerin 20! They are stable, comfortable, and broke in quickly. The toe box is a bit wider which is a good fit for me. I use them with the 10 second 3030 pressure relief insoles and it's a perfect combo.

I love this shoe, but I think I made the mistake of ordering a half size too large.
My calf muscles are very sore after a moderate walk. I have a size 8 which I think is
too small and an 8 1/2 which is perfect. In short, I ordered the new pair a half size
up from what I should have ordered!

Not a runner but on my feet all day as an educator. I've tried different brands for my feet problems but always come back to Brooks. Love the guarantee, also.

My all time favorite shoe!! I can't name one thing I don't like. I just wish they would've had the khaki and white when I ordered mine. Anyway, fabulous shoe. Like walking/running on air.

Finally a stability shoe with enough cushion to help this older runner run comfortably! I love this shoe so much- it's a nice lightweight shoe and super comfortable from my first run in them. Love.
