Customer Reviews Brooks Glycerin 20

This is a very comfortable version of the Glycerin although the Glycerin 18 is still the most comfortable shoe I have ever worn. The Glycerin 20 doesnt seem quite as cushioned as the 18 and it has a chunkier sole. That being said it still is comfortable for running as opposed to the Glycerin 19 which made my feet fall asleep. The uppers on the 20 are really pretty and seem as durable as my 18s, which after many miles show no wear other than road dirt. I feel very satisfied with the Glycerin 20.

I never review, but these shoes are worthy of one. 5/5 - its like walking/running on clouds. The price is high, but worth it. No aches and pains after long distances. I even took them on a steep hike and they worked well.

These sneakers are extremely comfortable.

I have always loved Brooks shoes. The cushion inside is what I need, they've always been like walking on a pillow. For some reason the glycerin 20 does not have that cushion. The bottom of my feet hurt sometimes when I come home from the day. I do love how the shoe looks, I will continue to buy brooks.

I have had painful feet for years, and only wear running shoes, for everything. These shoes feel stable and the cushioning is awesome. I buy wide so that I dont feel pinched (buying wide, altho I had no clue I needed it, helps immensely) and the shoes are super comfortable. I feel safe and confident in them. I have searched for the right jogging shoes for me, and these are it!

Right toe wore through from outside in less than two weeks. I wear these shoes at work where I am on my feet and knees on smooth concrete all day. With my ghosts, this didnt happen until six months. Still too soon for the cost of the shoes

I have worn Glycerins for years. I like the 20s better than my 18s

The most comfortable athletic shoe I have ever worn! And Im 62!

Love the cushiony feel on the bottom. Makes me feel like Im on clouds. Feels kinda like my toes are curved down slightly in the toe box

Love these shoes. So comfortable

I love my Glycerin 20, I dont feel pain in my heel foot anymore ( I had pain heel for 5 months ). Its very light and comfortable.

As a longtime customer, the Brooks Glycerin line has been my go to shoe. Years ago I was fitted with Glycerin 17 shoes at a running store and LOVED them. They were the most comfortable shoe ever - I told everyone that they were like having little pillows strapped to your feet (nerdy, I know). I went on to the Glycerin 18s after that. I purchased the Glycerin 20s hoping for the same ultra cushiony fit, but these shoes were disappointing. I felt the soles were rigid with virtually no cushion at all! What happened Brooks?! I did give 2 stars because the styling is nice as usual, but these shoes are a no go for me and I will be returning them and sadly continuing on my next shoe hunt.

An absolute lifesaver! These shoes are like running in marshmallow clouds that bounce! Ill definitely be ordering more!

Glycerin 20 womems is a great shoe so far. This shoe has great cushioning and support that helps with pressure on my knees. The heel area inside the shoe could use something more. It's a bit hard and I feel it rubbing a bit on the back of my heel , like a pressure point. Over-all I love this shoe.. Suggestion : make more cool colors for womens shoe !!

Im unhappy about one thing. Ive always ordered an 8.5 W shoe in Brooks. When I received my new sneakers I put them on and went for a walk. I realized 1/2 way through that they errr too short. What do I do, Ive already worn them and threw the box away. So, Im disappointed that Im stuck with a shoe that runs 1/2 to 1 size shorter.

Perfect! The Glycerin 20 has a wide sole and that works great to help my balance and give me secure footing. My heels are well-seated in the shoes and that gives me confidence. I have had both knees totally replaced since late 2020 and have had serious issues with my balance because my new knees are straight, resulting in a different gait than I was formerly accustomed to. I put my new Glycerin 20s on right out of the box and Im still wearing them as I write this review. I wear orthotics in my left shoe due to leg length discrepancy and the shoes easily accommodate my orthotics for that issueplus, I suffer from over-supination (walking on outside of heels) and the Glycerin 20 seats my heels deep enough to overcome the over-supination. I wear narrow shoes and ordered these half a size smaller because of the wide toe box and that works well. My left shoe (with the leg-length orthotics) fits perfectly. The right shoe is a bit snug, but its doable. I couldnt be happier with my purchase and feel Ive finally found a shoe that helps solve my problems. Sorry for the lengthy review but I wanted to address my issues in case it might be helpful to others having similar issues.

Ive been wearing glycerine for years. They changed this model and OMG my feet hurt.

Pretty darn good! I love the roomy toe box and this version is the only one that got rid of my plantar fasciitis that i developed wearing the Ghost. I will say that there seems to be a discrepancy between colors which is odd.....specifically the black with teal/pink feels larger and not as comfortable as others almost hollow feeling. Regardless, these are worth a try esp if you've been battling PF. FYI I have a long, narrow foot (not enough to buy narrow) and prefer a roomy toe box....these are good in the toe area but feel a little wide throughout the rest of the shoe.

I don't run. I'm a hairstylist and stand all day. I LOVE the Ariel actually I'm on my third pair. I Thought I would try these. They are a very comfortable shoe. Lots of toe space. I just wish there was a little more Cush.

I ended up returning them. Too narrow, my feet, legs, and hips hurt.

Amazing. I had an older model and the transition to these was seamless. No pain at all on my first runs in these and theyre breaking in beautifully. Nice and light but I still feel supported without feeling like heavy cushioning is weighing me down.

The most comfortable shoe I have ever worn

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