I usually by the glycerin stealth and tried these since on sale and the reviews but definitely not a fan and not as comfy.

I am not a runner. This is for the "greatest generation". I am an 87 year old woman and walk around 3 miles a day ( inside and outside depending on weather), along with yoga. I have arthritis and decided I would rather wear out than rust out. I have tried many quality shoes through the years and these are by far the most comfortable ones I own. I have four pair of Glycerin 20's.

It's pretty good! I haven't been able to afford new shoes in several years, so this is quite nice. Although, I'm not good at buying the correct size when I purchase these types of things (clothing and shoes), so I think when it comes time for me to buy another pair, I will go half a size larger. I am 5'9" and a half, female, and probably somewhere around 160-165lbs(?), and I use these shoes for working in a warehouse, where I'm always walking on concrete. I just work in the shipping & receiving, so I don't need steel toed boots or anything crazy like that, so these are perfect. Next time, I think I will love to have size 11, so if you are around my height and weight, I can recommend size 11, otherwise, it might feel like it's scrunching your feet (unless you like a really tight feeling? I dunno.)

I love these shoes! They feel super squishy and fast when I run. I do wish they stayed like that longer though.

I decided to make this purchase based on friend recommendations - I am so glad I listened to them. Like walking on a cloud, they are very light on my feet. I am trying to get into shape and recently started walking, only to discover that my trusty SK**RS were NOT the shoe for the job. There has been a little bit of an adjustment period but I think that is because my other shoes were worn out and my feet are not used to being supported like this. I am super happy. The front of the shoe is probably the best part, with a lot of room but still very supportive. I did take the recommendation to get a half size bigger than normal and I suggest new buyers do the same.

Shoes felt more like a ghost. Not as cushioned as Im used to or as snug in the upper area. I get a pair every year so noticed the difference.

Im a bit disappointed. This is my 4th pair of glycerin shoes. I bought a lite colored pair last month. They are super cushy and feel great. I purchased what I thought were the same model in a dark color and these are not cushy and comfortable? I dont understand why?

This sneaker feels amazing beneath my feet. I'm struggling to find the right size. I'm 11.5 in women's for running (11 regular shoe size). The 11.5 had no room in the toes though I loved the way it wrapped around my feet. I returned the 11.5 in Women's and 10 in men's (was hoping it was a little wider). Current wearing it in 10.5 men's but it's too big and my feet does not feel secure. I really wanted this one to work. I might try Ghost 15 for a better fit.
I can tell it's a well made sneaker.

I was wearing Nike Air for over 5 years but was becoming dissatisfied. My sister told me how happy she was after she switched to Glycerin 20 so I decided to try them. Best decision I made! I love these shoes. i've had back issues for over 50 years so am sensitive to walking. These shoes allow me to walk farther and more comfortable. i can't thank Brooks (and my sister) enough.

I was recommended the glycerin after my last pair of shoes was giving me arch blisters. I tried on the 21 and liked it but the toebox was too small. I took a chance with the 20s being on sale and with Brooks' generous return policy, and so far (5 runs in) they're good! The toebox is more roomy than on the 21s without the shoe itself being too wide. I might even get a second pair before the 20s sell out

I dont run anymore as I have bad knees, but my job has me walking about 12-15,000 steps a day. These are the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned and saved my feet and knees.

These Glycerin 20 shoes are very comfortable. I think I may prefer them to the Adrenaline GTS models that I have been wearing for many years.

Im 82 and active. My feet began to give me trouble so I changed to Glycerine. I have the Stealth for around the house because they are extremely comfortable. I have 3 pair of the plain Glycerine. One for the gym and one for walking. A third pair I use in the garden and other outside work. When I found them on sale I ended up purchasing 5 pair. Changing my shoes through out the day seem to keep my feet much happier. Ive never been a runner but grew up walking the hills with my dad and have continued moving a lot always.

My second pair of Brooks. The shoe fits as expected. True to size. Plenty of room in toe area as well. Good support throughout makes for a comfortable fit all around.
