This have a good combination of support and cushion. I have osteoporosis and plantar fasciitis of the arch. These shoes help tremendously when I'm on my feet for any amount of time. I found I wore a 1/2 size larger than my normal size. I also found they ran wide. My foot tends to be narrow although I rarely need a narrow especially in a tie shoe. I ordered the narrow and they fit perfectly. My only complaint is Books only offers the narrow in 1 color. I would like another pair in another color. The blue doesn't match everything.

I ordered the Glycerin 20 to add to my rotation while training for a marathon. My other shoes are Asics Gel Cumulus 25. The Glycerin has a wider toe box (though I do not wear "wide" shoe sizes) and isn't as squishy when walking around. While running I find they are just as responsive and feel that forward momentum in my stride. The top material is very breathable and they are solid trainers. Definitely look cooler than my Asics.

I'm not a runner. That being said I walk a lot. I love the support these shoes provide. They are stable and super comfortable.

Fits true to size. Has great arch support. VERY comfortable - like walking on a cloud. Great looking color selections. I use for walking, not running.

These shoes are terrific! I am 58 and have had two foot surgeries, fractures in both feet, and total knee replacement. I have wide feet and chronic plantar fasciitis. I wear these with insoles from currex (low profile running style), and I can walk two miles every day without pain and with three big dogs. Also, the color selection is great, and the shoe is attractive. These shoes paired with the right insoles are a life saver for me.

I suffer from plantar fasciitis and am always looking for comfort in a shoe. I decided to give the Glycerin 20 a try, and I am so glad I did. I followed other reviewers' recommendations to size up if you vary between sizes. I vary between
8-1/2 and 9, so I ordered a size 9. They are very comfortable, well cushioned, and they look great too! Highly recommend!

This is my fourth pair of Brooks Glycerins. I love them because they are the only athletic shoe that fits my narrow heel. My only issue is with the style/color. I ordered the navy/lilac version because that is the only one that comes in narrow. The heel is supposed to be a lilac/white ombre. The lilac part just looks dirty.

I have to buy size WIDE in 1/2 size bigger than other brands, but I don't mind because these are the best feeling sneakers I have found. I have so many foot problems, SO MANY, and if I don't wear perfect shoes I end up with stress fractures or Plantar Fascistic, or some other tendonitis type injury. I have tried ALL of the Brooks, and the Glycerin are my favorite. This purchase was for a "just in case" replacement pair, because I worried that the next version wouldn't be as perfect for my feet, so needed a spare in the closet for when I wear my current ones out. Unlike the Ghosts I had last year, these are lasting really well. I have had them 9 months and they still look new. The Ghosts I bought a year ago only lasted a couple months.

Glycerin is my favorite show for comfort, long walks, standing, all day. I've been wearing it at least 15 years. My only issue is in recent years, the sizing is inconsistent. I was always a size 10, but a few years ago, I had to go up to size 10.5. Then model 19, it was size 11, and now 20 is size 10.5 again. I suggest ordering a couple to figure it out.

These shoes have an incredible amount of cushioning. I normally wear Ghosts on my daily 6-mile brisk walks, but decided to try Glycerin out of curiosity, and at first I thought these are almost too cushioned. I will be reaching for Glycerin shoes on those days when feel an attack of plantar fasciitis coming on. And they are very cute in white.

I haven't worn these as much as the Ghosts because I'll probably have knee surgery soon and prefer to hold on. They're very comfortable and Neutral which I need to avoid supinating. These fit more snugly that my old pair from 2015 or 2016. The laces are shorter.

These shoes are saving my feet at work everyday, thank you! I work on a large campus, & I bought a white pair and a black pair. I feel better each day thanks to the support.

Brooks are my go-to running shoes. These did not disappoint. I have a narrow foot, so I do wish there were more options for color/style. I also order a full size up from my normal shoe size in these shoes, but I also use an insert for more cushion. I run about 100 miles per month. Highly recommend this brand!

I have two pairs of this shoe. I have a very difficult time buying shoes as my feet are two different sizes. Very happy these fit right out of the box and are very comfortabe as well as attractive. A great buy.

They fit true to size. I love the cushion within the soles; however, the soles offer excellent support. I am unable to wear shoes with really soft soles.

The she fits true to size. I wear a 10 almost all the time. My foot is a little narrow and this shoe fits great, without any sloppy wiggle room. It is incredibly comfortable. I wore them for 3 days, walking and standing on concrete for 15+ hours a day, fresh out of the box. WONDERFUL. I don't love the color choices/combinations or the thicker sole, but the comfort makes it absolutely ok.
