Awesome shoes. I work 12 hour shifts on concrete, walking over 13 miles a night. Most nights my feet do well in them with minimal pain by the end of the night.

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 Im much happier in the 8s than 8.5s. For the next generation, please downsize the toe box!!

I wore Adrenalines for a long time, but switched to Glycerins due to planter fasciitis. They are very comfortable and the padding is helpful with heel and arch pain. You just cant go wrong with Brooks!

I did not buy these shoes for running, I bought them for work. Im a RN, with plantar fasciitis, and these shoes are absolutely wonderful. Lifesavers indeed.

I really like the feeling of these on. I tried on probably 10 different running shoes and these were by far the most comfortable. I do notice my laces tend to loosen so I find myself retightening and trying mid run. I haven't tried other lacing techniques or double knotting yet, but am still very happy with the shoe.

Super comfortable shoe, it has room in all the right places and my feet never ached while wearing them. The only reason it is not a 5/5 is because of the sizing disparities.

These feel great. Great support. Look great from the top.
The only thing I wasn't expecting was for the soles to have a "marshmallow" like appearance. Which is very apparent with white soles. Recommend the shoe, but would say do not choose an option with white bottoms. Literally looks like marshmallows.

I was really excited to try the Brooks Glycerin 20s, but unfortunately, they didn't live up to the price. They were beautiful out of the box, but the back ankle piece was so high that it immediately rubbed my calcaneal tendon raw. I tried these shoes for a week hoping I just needed to break them in, but it never got any better. I found a runner's forum on reddit where thousands of other runners were complaining about the same issue. The soles were soft and comfortable, but Brooks still isn't the brand for me. I'm very thankful for Brooks return policy... I was refunded less than 24 hours after I mailed the shoes back out!

I've been a consumer of Brooks for a while now and haven't worn any other brand since my first Brooks purchase. The fit is absolutely wonderful - I've never had a more comfortable fit and are perfect for my fallen arches. However, I do wish they'd last a little longer than 1 year considering the price. Additionally, the last 2 pairs I've purchased have come with inferior quality shoelaces that, again, for the price should not have been a downgrade from the original laces Brooks used in the past.

The ONLY shoe I can wear everywhere due to foot issues. Glycerin 20 has plush softness in the sole and the sole does not rise over the side of the feet, which most athletic shoes do. (I have metatarsal and nerve pain and the rubbing on the side of my feet makes it unbearable painful) I wear 8D in white. Its sold out. Please bring them back in White because I can wear them with everything.

I was an avid ASICS Gel Kayano user for years and wanted to try something different. I felt asics quality was lacking and started to run small in the newer models. These right out of the box were a perfect fit and instant comfort. I have a more narrow foot Sz 12 for reference. Ive worn them about 10 times with use on treadmill without having to break them in. My new favorites and I love the design.

The shoes are great but the laces are terrible. They are forever coming untied. The older Glycerines had better laces.

I didnt buy these online, I had them fitted in store and they were true to size. I cant wait to go for a run in these shoes, they feel so cushioned and very light. I love them

This one worked for me. I tried other models that did not, but they used to.
I have worn these sneakers brand for years and they don't look as nice as they used to.

I have worn them for years. I like them but the sizing has completely changed. It would also be nice for more plain colors like great instead of only crazy ones that you cant wear to work.

Love the Glycerin 20! They are stable, comfortable, and broke in quickly. The toe box is a bit wider which is a good fit for me. I use them with the 10 second 3030 pressure relief insoles and its a perfect combo.

I am a walker and a faithful Glycerin wearer and have been waiting for the 21's to come out. But my shoes needed to be replaced, so I ordered a pair of limited edition 20's (jade/blue/ebony). They have the same comfort I enjoyed in the past, but I do not care for the look of the fabric on the toe. My old pair were navy with lavender laces and had more of a tweed look to the fabric (navy with lavender dots). I think my new pair would look better with the same type of fabric to coordinate with the fancy painted soles. This is the only reason I did not rate them as a 5 star.

After two days of wearing my Glycerins, my entire life changed! It sounds dramatic, I know. Ive finally found exactly what my feet (and my back) needed after spending YEARS searching for the perfect kick. Cant wait to buy these in every color. Seriously, theres no going back to another shoe after this.
