I have been wearing brooks glycerin for the last ten years! I loved every updated versions! My glycerin 18 was the best! I was looking to buy something similar and could find nothing. I finally bought glycerin 20 after trying them on many times! The worst update of a shoe ever! Too wide compared to 18! Too hard and feel as if no padding even thought it is a thick sole! The shoe rubs my insole! I have no choice but to wear them especially after paying $150.00 for them! Will just suffer and bear it. Looking to find a new shoe that accommodates me! Wish Brooks would just send me the glycerin 18 which was perfect! I bought them three at a time and now I am on empty! Loved them!

I love this brand of sneakers but this pair fits tighter than others I have bought. My toes go numb. Trying to stretch them out. Same ones I have bought before but struggling on my walks cause I usually end up removing them before I get homewhy such a difference? Ver upsetting

Ive been wearing Brooks Glycerin shoes for over nine years - usually getting a new pair once or twice a year. I exercise or run usually 3-5 times a week and take a long walk everyday. THESE ARE THE WORST GLYERCIN SHOES EVER! It appears Brooks has tried to be trendy and add extra cushion/padding around the shoes. Unfortunately they have added too much extra cushion in the inside of the shoe causing the foot to roll more to the outside. I buy Glycerins because theyre supposed to be good for supination, but these cause the foot to roll even further outward - which creates pain and strain on the foot. Brooks needs to stop being trendy and go back to a truly neutral shoe that is helpful for supination. This shoe was causing so much pain that I went to an Ortho doc who specializes in feet - he immediately realized its the dang shoes. Ive donated mine to Goodwill and now am looking for a replacement with another brand because I dont trust Brooks anymore.

The shoe was instantly comfortable and supportive! I had been struggling to find the right shoe and running was becoming uncomfortable. This show immediately took me back to runs that not only didnt hurt, but felt good!

I purchased the Glycerin 20, looking for something a bit more cushioned that the Ghost. I havent been disappointed. I have slight underpronation and am on my feet anywhere from 8-12 hours, 5 days a week. These have made my plantars fasciitis bearable. I will definitely buy these again when my current pair need replacement.

I bought a pair from a running store in the area. I did not like the color at all, but its all they had. I went with it because I loved the fit of the shoe so much. Deciding I wanted a second pair, I came to the website to order directly. I was amazed at the variety of colors available! I ordered the color I wanted and was so excited the day I received them. But when I opened the box, they were the wrong color and in fact, they were the exact color of the pair I already had. You know, the color I didnt like. So now I have 2 pair of the exact same color. We were in the middle of an out-of-state move and were actually hitting the road the next day. It wasnt really possible to deal with a return etc. So, I would say: Be careful using the website. Im left feeling as though only one color actually exists and the rest is just bait. I do like the shoes a lot, though.

I love these sneakers. I do not run in them but I wear them for my dance classes which have a lot of jumping and foot pounding. They feel great, super comfortable and take the pressure off my tendonitis in my foot. The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is because for my purposes of dance, the sole is a bit too grippy for the wooden floors I dance on. I have a hard time turning the way I'm supposed to so I need to wear a glider sock on them. It's not the shoes' fault, but it does cause me some frustration.

Bought these shoes because I loved the 19s. The 20s have a harder insole and not comfortable at all. I stand all day and cant wear these shoes around the house. Will be returning.

These shoes have been a fabulous neutral shoe that has offered great fit and cushion through some different lumbar spine issues. But Brooks, can you please, please offer more than one of styles in a narrow? Im on my 3rd pair of tired navy blue with purple.

The shoe is very comfortable It did seem to stretch out after a few wears. My foot now moves a little too much. I wear orthotics so I took the insole out to put them in, that could be the reason for the movement. It has good heal support.

Ive only gotten to run in them just a couple of quick runs but so far so good. Ive had the glycerin 16, 17 and now 20. They are my all time favorite shoes. I have screws in my feet so Im very picky about my shoes. Obviously the glycerin is my top choice

It's a well cushioned shoe compared to most but it's not as good as the Glycerin 19. I wish you hadn't changed the formula.

I ran in size 8.5 in the Glycerin 19. I learned that Brooks has enlarged the toe box in the Glycerin 20 so I had to down size to a size 8. My feet still swim in the 8s (ever so slightly, but noticeable enough). But I'm much happier in the 8s than 8.5s. For the next generation, please downsize the toe box!!

I wanted to love these. The cushioning was ok but with my orthotics in, my hips hurt and these dont have the support of the Ghosts. I will have to donate them.

They changed and dont feel like the Glycerin 20s I bought 9 months ago. These new ones arent cushioned. My worn out ones feel better. Returning.
