I???ve never owned Brooks running shoes. I like the fit of my new Glycerin 20???s. They???re roomy and wide enough for my toes. They have good cushion for my feet. They fit my heel well and don???t rub. The only thing I don???t like is the shoelaces because they come untied unless I tie them really tight.

I was a three sport athlete in high school, including track, ran causally throughout college to now. I have NEVER had shin splints until I got this pair of shoes. I bought them to replace my other brooks and they wore out so quickly. I had been training for a 5k but had to stop because I developed a pain in my hip flexor that made it too painful to walk the day after a run (something that wasn't an issue even with my VERY old, previous sneakers). So I stopped running until the actual 5k and have not been able to run since. Haven't had the money or the need for running shoes until now so i will be making sure to avoid any glycerins. (I haven't had any issues with the other Brooks shoes I've tried)

This is a great shoes. I dont understand why you had to discontinue it. The newer versions are never as good.

Im disappointed. I have a Glycerin 20, but the cushion says support. I expected to receive the same kind of shoes, but what I got is a neutral, which definitely not my type; it hurts my feet. I wonder why theyre not transparent with their product makes me really sad! I would be using it for my work.

Trying out all the good cushioned women's Brooks shoes for my right fit. These Glycerin are a bit narrow in the middle, half a size too big maybe. Buy many compliments, less plantar and heel pain.

I usually wear Brooks ghost but thought I would try these as they were on sale. They are good comfortable shoes but I prefer ghost over these

I have these shoes for work (OR nurse) and home (walking). I ordered them because they were described as being very cushiony and my feet bother me so much. They are very comfortable, but I have plantar fasciitis and my heel still bothers me by the end of the day. Still, they are more comfortable than other shoes I've tried, and I've tried many (Dansko, Oofos, Hoka to name a few).

Ive worn Brooks Glycerin shoes for 8 years as walking shoes. Comfortable the first time you put them on. Received compliments the first time I wore them out. Only complaint is the new laces wont stay tied. Please go back to previous laces.

I decided to purchase womens Glycerin 20 shoe after coming out of the Glycerin 18. Although the shoe is a lot wider than the other which is a good thing, the tongue has become narrower and causes discomfort on the top of my foot. I dont know why they changed the tongue, but Brooks should go back to the wider one.

These are the best I have found. Podiatrist recommend HOKA, didnt work for me. Ive worn this model of Brooks for 7 years and have been extremely happy. I have very high arch and these are great cushioning. Took a few days to get them broken in, but thats to be expected. On Sal so I bought another pair

First time trying the Glycerin. I have been wearing the Ghost for many yrs and decided might be time to try a wide width. This model was suggested over the Ghost using the Brooks test. Very comfy and just enough width to be comfortable but not clumsy.

I love these shoes. They have a lot of cushioning. They are different from the Ghost that I have been wearing so they took a bit of getting used to. However, I have plantar fasciitis in my left heel and these are definitely better than the Ghost for walking now.

I ordered a 1/2 size larger per the recommendation by Brooks, but my regular size would have worked better. The cushion and arch support are adequate, but not as good as the Brooks Revel 3 (which is a less expensive shoe).

Im so pleased with this purchase! I went from the 19 to the 20. I appreciate that its a similar shoe, yet more bounce. It has the right amount of arch support for my plantar fasciitis and enough space for my bunion. I bought these in the middle of half marathon training and there was no breaking in period. My feet immediately felt better running in these.
