I love the shoes but the left shoe is tighter then the right and hurts my foot. I I wish I could have both shoes like the right shoe it is comfortable and helps my nerve pain in my legs..

I gave you a one, because my order was canceled just days before delivery! I choose the white shoe with khaki trim.

I purchased the Glycerin 20 because I have worn these shoes to walk or run or both for about 5 years. This year the shoes are to wide and the length seems a bit longer, I initially wore and 8.5 and then had to go to a 9 and medium width. I had to send 2 pair back to Zappos because they did not fit. I ordered a size 9 in the narrow width and sometimes I feel like they are a bit long or maybe the fit is just off. I am disappointed in them to say the least.

I like that this style of shoe seems to have a little more room in the toe box which is nice if you have bunions. This shoe has a neutral support which is fine for some. However, I need a shoe with a lot more support so I prefer my adrenaline brooks for that reason.

These are different from the previous gts 19 model, but still a solid shoe. I am not a fan of the new DNA GTS, it feels a bit squishy as opposed to the soft but springy feel of the gts 19. This gts 20 also seems a bit roomier than the gts 19. Overall it is still the best fit for my foot which is wide wide in the front with a narrow heel. I wish more models came in wide widths.

Love the style and colors. Glycerins are one of my fave running shoes. Great quality, as always. Could use a smidge more cushion, but do provide a good amount. I have several pairs and will continue to have them as a staple for road and treadmill running.

Over the last year I have gained a lot of weight. As a result my feet hurt beyond belief. I was off work for six weeks after a surgery and stayed off of my feet. I thought they would heal, but once I started walking the pain returned. I have arthritis and later diagnosed with capilitis. My pain is on the top of the foot from outside the foot, on the pinky side, and the the next two toes. I also get pain in the top mid section of the foot and under the heal. I had to find shoes that would give me a little relief. I kept going back and forth between Hokas and Brooks. In the end I chose Brooks Glycerin 20. They have helped so much!! My feet may be a little sore at the end of the day but they do not hurt like they did while my shoes are on. I plan on getting another pair pretty soon.

Im a nurse, I work 12 hour shifts and Im on my feet for most of my shift, these shoes are very comfortable and I love that they come in wide sizes. My feet and knees dont hurt anymore ! Compared to my Hoka shoes honestly they are about the same I cant say one if more comfortable than the other its just appearance wise hoka are far more bulky but I love them both !! Would buy again might just consider going half a size up next time.

So after a horrible mistake in buying a pair of $130 Nikes bc they were cute I had an epiphany. No I am just not cut out to walk/jog, no I am not too old I have horrible shoes! After having these shoes and walking 6 miles 4 days a week I dont wake up with horrible foot and knee pain and it feels like Im walking on a cloud. I mainly use the tread as its still 100 degrees in Texas but cant wait to try out my second pair( yup was so impressed I purchased another pair right away) outside when its cooler. If you are a bigger girl (with big flat wide feet) these shoes are worth every freakin penny. Took just one day to break them in.Only thing Id ask for is more options in the wides for fun colors.

Great comfort, cushioning, support. Used to wear Hoka and have switched for good. I have orthotics so cant speak for the insert sole because I remove that for my orthotic but the heel and sole cushion A+ in comparison to any other sneaker Ive tried

These shoes are awesome! I wore them, brand new, didnt even break them in first, on a recent trip to Disney World where we walked a MINIMUM of 13 miles per day! My feet were tired but never hurt and never had a blister! I felt like every step on the hard pavement was softened by the cushion of the sole! Love them!

I had high expectations for a really significant shock absorbing feature in these shoes. Although, the sole is more like a marshmallow, it didn't give me that huge bounce I was hoping for.

These shoes are game changers. I slip them on and my feet sigh in relief. It is literally like walking on clouds. The cushion is amazing and exactly what I was looking for. Going from a mid-cushion shoe to a max-cushion shoe was a huge improvement for my feet. They really do put a spring in your step, Im already considering another pair in a different color after wearing these for only a couple of weeks. I wish I had purchased these a long time ago! The hot pink gradient color is beautiful, as an added bonus.

This is a well fitting show and is very comfortable. The Glycerin 14 is still my all time favorite running shoe. I loved the sole on it because it had good traction so if I was running or walking on a slippery surface it didn't let me slip.

Really liked the comfort and extra padding. My only issue is that the heel is too high for my right foot that was injured in my teens. I find that I get a blister after 4 miles and need to try to figure out how to stop that or I will be forced to wear the sneakers on shorter walks. It has helped to lessen the pain in the sole of my feet though. And that makes this shoe a win for me.

Its a well cushioned shoe compared to most but its not as good as the Glycerin 19. I wish you hadnt changed the formula.

Beware - color 656 pink/yellow/white is NOT as pictured. For an accurate color, look at Glycerin GTS shoe with same color code. I was very disappointed when I ordered the shoe and received a completely different color. Also, the Glycerin 20s fit 1/2 size larger than all the other Glycerins Ive worn in the past.

Great shoe if you are on your feet all day. I work in healthcare and these are the only shoes I wear that my feet dont hurt in by the end of the day!
