Way comfier than the Ghost line for road running. I loved them so much I bought another pair because these look so much better than the new Glycerin 21s design.

Ive been buying Brooks for years and lately the shoe laces have been extremely horrible for such an expensive pair of sneakers they shouldnt go cheap on the laces. They come undone so easily its very frustrating. Please go back to the old laces.

This is my second Glycerin 20. I have the most sensitive feet, which prevented me from enjoying outdoor activities such as running and walking. I was introduced to Brooks Ghost and Glycerin, and my life changed. My preference is now the Glycerin. I was going to put these in my rotation, but theyve quickly become my go-to shoe. The cushioning is perfect for me. I wish they would make more colors in Wide. I did notice that Brooks shoes tend to wear out quicker on the bottom than others. Dont hesitate to try these shoes if youre looking for pain-free running, comfort and support.

Just received my pair of shoes. I have had many pair of this style. They were so off in size! What is the problem? They were at way to short.

When I was first fitted for shoes at a local running store, I tried on about 5 different brands after a foot analysis. Of the five, the Brooks Glycerin was, hands down, the best. I have worn my Brooks for several months and recently ordered another pair, as they were on sale. I later also tried on the Ghost, Adrenaline and one more, and found out why the Glycerin is my shoe. I doubt I will go back to any other brand at this point as the Glycerin gives me everything I need for stable, cushioned walking (I try to walk at least 2-3 miles every day).

Been running in the ghost model for years but wanted to try a bit more cushioning to see if it helped with my Achilles problem. At first the glycerine felt firmer than I expected and I wasnt sure I liked them but after a few more runs they won me over. They are comfortable and I would definitely buy again. I am training for and running a half marathon in these.

Im 81 years old, and these are my second pair of Glycerin 20s. Frankly, they have changed my life. I can walk long distances and have day-long stamina because of their comfort and their ability to propel me forward. The cushioning means I dont have to think about wearing out my feet prematurely on any given day. How about making some dress-up versionsperhaps with a little sparkle!!!

Size is fine, but I did not find it very comfortable. I prefer more cushion in the sole.

Ive been running in Glycerins for a few years now. Theyre very reliable and Im hoping they wont change too much in the next version! Great for longer runs and daily training. Would go for something a bit spunkier for speed work but these work for tempo.

I am the biggest Brooks fan but these shoes were huge letdown and I regret purchasing them. Ill stick to the Ghosts for a neutral cushion moving forward.

BEST sneakers Ive ever worn!! I have issues w my left foot and I stand on my feet for many hours when working, its been difficult to find a comfortable shoe. These sneakers make me feel like Im on a cloud!! For hours!! After working I have no problems taking the dogs out for their long walk/run.

Have worn Glycerin style for years. By far one of the best shoes Ive ever worn. What I have noticed with the Glycerin 20, the shoe strings dont stay tied, which is a nuisance when you wear them daily.

This will be my second pair. I like these shoes a lot and have really helped my feet. The 2 star rating is for the lack of diversity for wide shoes??? I have 3 color choices if I chose wide shoes. I have wide feet, so I have to buy wide shoes, so boy oh boy does that limit my options. When I same this is my second pair of these shoes, I mean same color and everything. I HATE having to buy boring tennis shoes. Give me more options!!

Ive been having heel pain from plantar fasciitis and these new shoes are awesome! I have worn the Ghost for years and my aging feet needed more support. I run on road and trail and Glycerin provides support to my ankle plus much needed cushioning. I wear a 9 in Brooks shoes and this fit as expected. I really appreciate the Brooks Run Happy promise - bought this and the Caldera 6 Trail Shoe, which unfortunately didnt work well for me and had to send back after a few runs. Thank you Brooks for such a generous return policy. My feet are grateful!

Im having the hardest time finding a perfect shoe. A nurse recommended these but they are nice but my heel started to hurt and being nylon I dont see them lasting long. I hate paying the prices today and still not finding the right shoe.

After about a month or two Im finally really liking these shoes. I work 12 hour shifts and needed something with the extra cushion. Took a while of short intervals to break them in as the soles at first were giving me blistery calluses wearing them so long.
