After a half mile of walking, my foot start feeling uncomfortable. I try wearing the shoe as much as possible to see if I just need to break into them but in the end it didnt work for me. Though I have confidence in Brooks and I will try a different Brooks shoe!

Glycerin 20 fit great . Lots of comfort for work all day. On cement floors. Be great if Brooks had a pair of no slip resistant shoes. That's what I'm suppose to wear at work. But I enjoy the comfort of the Glycerin 20 usually I go between the Brooks and New Balance.

First off I love Brooks Glycerin they are the only shoes I will ever buy. However this last pair I couldn't figure out why they were so uncomfortable, turns out the insoles were for the same foot. Luckily I have custom shoe inserts that I put in my shoes. Overall love the shoe, poor quality control.

Love the sneakers however the laces are so silky they will not stay tied! Laces are short and double knots make it very tight. My friend has the same problem. I will need to purchase other laces. Previous purchases of same sneaker did not have these types of laces.

This style must run small. My toes are not comfortable while walking and I end up with numbness in my foot and toes. Im very disappointed.

Always ordered 9.5 wide. This one is really wide in the toe box. Seems to be all around bigger. Still cushiony but my foot slides in it. Could have used a 9 in this one. Glycerin 20.

Beautiful and comfortable. I bought this pair online after getting a black pair at Scheel's. I prefer a lighter color for trips to visit my Sis in KS. Both pairs are super comfy, and I especially appreciate being able to find them in wide. My only complaint is the laces on both pairs were super short, but I picked up some of those silicon no tie laces from Amazon.

Bought these because my Hoka Bondi 8s gave me a bad case of plantar fasciitis. But while these Glycerins APPEARED very comfortable, they are making my feet hurt just as bad! The pain in my heals after walking 4 to 5 miles daily is sometimes excruciating. As a RN, this is my first pair of Brooks, which came at the recommendation of my peers and I wanted to love them! I just knew that they would be everything that I wanted and more. But to my surprise when I started walking in them daily on May 15, 2024, my feet hurt daily for one week! I thought that it was an adjustment to new shoes and going from an Hoka to a Brooks, so I exercised extreme patience. But after 30 miles of walking, this shoe STILL hurts my heel very bad! I wanted to give them a fair chance, but I think that a week is fair enough. Today, I ordered a pair of ASICS to replace this pair of Brooks which seems be a total loss!

I got these for road running. I normally use the Ghosts for treadmill running but the websites all said these were better for roads and trails. I have not found that to be the true. I don't think it adds any additional cushion and if anything is a little too tight around the toes.

Received used shoes. This must not be uncommon since one of the return reasons was used or damaged. No longer ordering from Brooks.

Ive worn Brooks Ghost for years and have always loved them. I thought Id try the Glycerin this time since Ive heard that they had a little more cushion to them and I absolutely love them! They feel great while having a lot of support. I got this pair for work since I walk a lot during the day. I I highly recommend them. I will be buying another pair for running. I still love my Ghosts and Im sure Ill be switching back and forth between them. Ive tried many brands throughout my running career and have always gone back to Brooks.

Probably THE BEST athletic sneaker Ive ever worn! Even more comfortable, supportive and durable than Hoka, Sketchers or Allbirds!! I am really really impressed. I run, row and resistance training, these shoes are my faves!

Love them. They have been tried and true for me for years. I was concerned as the ones I had were a couple of models old and you never know what changes with the newer models but they are great, especially with more cushion as Im doing more walking these days. Once I tried them out, I bought a second pair, different color so I could switch out. Had to take advantage of the sale.

Loved the shoe as I have two other pair of Glycerin 20s. Did not care for the color of Ebony/White/Nightlife. So, I returned them - will likely order another color in the future.
These shoes are super cushy and comfortable. They are lovely to walk in! Feels like pillows on my feet.

The best fit for me over any other shoe!. This is probably my 12 pair. I cant find any other shoe that fits as well and is as comfortable. Why change?

First off -loved my Glycerin 18 and 19s. The 20 went extra wide for some reason, I had to buy a narrow which I have NEVER purchased before and the fit was not perfect- it squeezed my heel a bit. Cant find any other high cushion shoe. Why does Brooks change so much year to year??? Please go back to 19s sizing and come up with some better colors. The 21s color combos are so hideous. Get a new designer.
