Felt slightly wider than my prior purchase of the same shoe but that's ok! I can wear a thicker sock and be comfortable. These are great for all day wear whether you're shopping, walking, or even standing quite a bit.

Love, love, love 'em! These are the way to go if you do a lot of walking. 6 to 7 days a week, I power walk 4 to 5 miles on concrete and they're super comfy. The cushioning is great and the toe box allows me to wear a slightly thicker sock as the temps change with the seasons. I just hope Brooks doesn't downgrade the materials they use as has been done in some of the other shoes

I wear 11AAAA with very narrow heels and a high arch, but need a somewhat wider toe box. These shoes, are lightweight, easy to walk in, fit great and provide excellent support. These are the shoes I kept after trying on quite a few others that didn't quite work.

Brooks Glycerin are my go to running shoes. Like all new versions there were a few changes to the Glycerin 20 shoe but nothing that changed the feel or the pleasure of running in them. I love these shoes.

My second paid of Glycerins. These felt a little bigger than my original pair, but they are still very comfortable and a great shoe.

My foot has changed a lot since having a baby, but now it’s got a high instep, moderately wide toe area (not wide throughout), and a narrow heel.
These shoes fit like a dream and were cushy too! Plenty of room for my toes, no heel slipping, and the best part— no tightness on the top of my foot!
I only wish they had better/more dynamic color options. I feel like these are very “mom-type” color combos.

I needed a second pair to rotate with my Ghosts. These are even cushier than those, and feel great for straight runs. Agility feels a little less stable, but not as much as Hokas might. Am pleased with the colorful option available in Wide this time, but good grief Brooks, could you make more colors in Wide??

Fit was good, I usually wear a 9.5 but was told these run small so I bought size 10.

I have purchased MANY pairs of Brooks from Zappos over the years and they are definitely the best support shoe out there. This time I was looking for a pair of well-cushioned Brooks for a trip to the Alps this fall and the Glycerin 20 is truly exceptional! Other reviews that emphasize the “walking on clouds” feeling are not exaggerated one bit! Fantastic shoes!

Excellent shoe! Runs wide, so the narrow fit me best. Very comfortable. Great cushion. Not too soft and not too firm. Just right. Perfect amount of arch support. Not too much, not too little. Nice color also.

This was my first purchase in this style, I love the color and the design of the shoe. They are a pretty comfortable walking shoe as well as a workout shoe. They don’t offer as much support as my revels do, but over all love the look and feel.
I did size up a half size with these. Originally ordered a 7.5 and my big toe was hurting by the end of the day, returned and ordered an 8 and they fit much better!

I wasn’t sure I would care for this style because I really loved the Adrenaline 21. I also wasn’t sure about the color. A previous review stated they were an ugly beige, however I disagree with that review. They are not white white but a pleasant shade of cream white. I did order the Adrenaline 22 also.
The Glycerin 20 appears to have more cushioning than the Adrenaline 22 the toe area is much more roomier which almost makes them feel a little roomier than I need but love them just the same.

I love these shoes! I always wear Brooks Glycerin 20 athletic shoes. They feel so good on my feet, and I have narrow feet. This year, I also bought a pair of HOKA Mach 5 shoes, and I love them, too! It's hard to say which one I like the best. My Dad has always worn New Balance shoes, but after I wore Brooks, he ordered a pair, and won't wear anything else!

These feel like walking on bouncy clouds. Where these to OTF and great on the treads. On the floor there is not as much stability. When you are doing one legged dead lifts or anything on one leg the bouncy softness may not be to your advantage if you need or are looking for stability.
