I have been running the Glycerin for a while now. I love the shoe. This pair didn't seem as cushiony as my other pairs. I have never needed to "break my shoes in" but this time it took a few runs for the shoe to feel right. Also it seems like the laces have changed a bit.

Although Im fairly dedicated to Ghost, I find running in the Glycerin 20 on pavement a pleasure. Nice cushion! And spring! Makes a chubby, old lady runner feel young again

Beautiful color shoe. Comfortable and a good wide sole but not for me. I'm not a runner anymore so this shoe would be great for runners. The tongue doesn't stay in place. Not sure why but this particular shoe hurts my feet.

I have flat feet and have a hard time finding comfortable athletic shoes. I try to stay away from shoes with any arch. When the quiz said I needed "support", I wasn't sure what that meant but went with it. I was disappointed when the shoes had an arch; they felt like they were poking me but I noticed they were also forcing me to straighten the soles of my feet so I was placing more weight on the outside of my feet than normal. In the beginning, I felt discomfort but not pain. A month later and I rarely notice the arch support. At first, my feet used to ache from using muscles I didn't normally use but now I barely notice my shoes. My feet aren't hurting and neither is my back, even after wearing them for hours.

My go to running and everyday shoes. Very comfortable, great cushioning on the sole. One thing that I dont like is how easy the toe tears through on the top of the shoe. (I just add moleskin for extra support though and it works well)

I am not a runner. I have a lumbar fusion and cervical fusion. I need cushion!!! Glycerine 20 for women has now become my everyday shoe. It's taken a long search to find the support for plantar facilities and my crumbling back.

I work in a busy ICU and was looking for shoes that would help with my feet, leg, and back pain. These shoes hurt my heels within minutes of wearing them. I tried them for a few months until I couldnt take it anymore. Sadly Im past my return date. The one positive thing was that I got compliments on how they looked.

Nervous about ordering online, but arrived quickly and the fit is great. Seems like the 20's are less stiff than the last time I bought shoes. Really enjoying the comfort.

This shoe is so comfortable! It is the first time Ive put on a shoe and felt comfortable running right out of the box. Just the right amount of support and cushion, so I feel secure while running and my feet do not ache after. Its also prettyand while thats not critical, it is important.

My third pair! A great shoe for orthotics . I have plantar fasciitis and a heel spur. I cant imagine working a 12 hr day without them! (Teacher-used mostly at work and walking for exercise.)

I dont run.. I buy Brooks as I have issues with my feet and at 73 I need a shoe that holds my foot firmly and has great arch support. These shoes are like walking in a cloud and I can wear them comfortably all day!!! Love Brooks!!!!

Review for Zappos VIP Points(What's this?)
Runs SmallRuns Large
Runs NarrowRuns Wide
Poor SupportGreat Support
I have plantar fasciitis and lupus so my feet always hurt. I’ve always worn the Ghost model but I wanted to try something new and these are more comfortable than the Ghost that I ordered another pair. I’m a 7W but the Ebony nightlife/white didn’t come in wide so I ordered a 7.5 regular and used a shoe stretcher and they fit great! Now I agree with the others, I have Ghost in 7W and they fit great and 7.5W in ghost that also feel great. So it’s a matter of preference. The glycerin has more of a soft but solid heel which is why I think they feel better right now than the ghost. The ghost has less outer sole cushioning but I still love them.

I have worn Brooks for man years. My latest pair of Glycerin are a bit longer than past pairs. The shoe wide size is an excellent fit for my feet. Unfortunately, it could use more cushion in the heel area. At the $160 price point, one would expect superior cushioning.
