Customer Reviews Brooks Glycerin 20

I love the shoes - both the cushion and support while running were excellent but I bought new shoelaces because they were not the usual quality of a Brooks sneaker.

Seems Tom run a little small; I wear 9AA in other running shoes and 9.5AA in Brooks. Just a nice cushioned, flexible shoe. Like that it is available in narrow. Wish there were more color combos, but this one is quite nice. Ive worn glycerin before and it wears well.

Have bought these shoes since the 18s came out. Love them for fit, durability and looks.

The shoes were a little larger than all the others Ive received in the past. Got the same size and everything and too large. I have to return/exchange them

Design has improved this show is a lot more comfortable than old models and lighter weight. Highly recommend

These sneakers are amazing! When I first put them on, my eyes teared and I had an Allelujah moment. Like walking on clouds. Worth every penny. I will purchase more!

Great shoe, comfort, cushion, stability

Had to return them after only 30 miles. Caused stabbing pain in the back of my heel on one foot. Switched back to my old shoes and have been fine. I think I may have gotten a defective shoe, but Brooks returned them without any issue

I've been wearing the Glycerin for years, with the 17 being my favorite. These 20s are different, and it's not an improvement. The fit is off... the toe box is pretty wide, and I have wide feet to begin with. I read reviews before I bought them, and did NOT buy the wide width because of this. (I usually wear a 10.5w in Brooks sneakers.) These go up higher at the ankle than previous versions. It's slightly uncomfortable and will take a bit to get used to. The sole doesn't feel new and improved, it feels harder and stiffer than any pair I've owned, and actually looks pretty cheap. It's like a shiny, flat material, no longer the spongy, textured sole I'm used to from past models. It's also wider and thicker, probably adding an inch or more to my height when I wear them. They're not terrible, I'll keep them and see if they get better with time, but I hope the next version goes back to what we're all used to.

Still trying to get use to them as the the tightness is not uniform across the shoe. The toes space runs wide but get tight and narrow around the bridge of the foot and when adjusting the laces they either become too loose or too tight around the ankle. The foam sole feels amazing, theyre very springy and I love the color.

Loved the glycerin 19 and thought the glycerin 20 would be even better and they were worse than the glycerin 19. Disappointed. It felt flat vs walking on clouds

I have worn nothing but Brooks Glycerin for years because of the cushion and these are not as cushioned as usual at all. Ive been wearing them a few weeks and they actually hurt my feet and dont seem to be breaking in. Its too late now, but if I could return these I would and I would just get another pair of the 19s. So disappointed with the 20s. I sincerely hope future models go back to the cushion the way it used to be.

Decided to try these as my new running shoe rather than ghost 15 based on the other reviews and Im very happy I did! I was pleasantly surprised that it was even better than the ghost, seems to give me a little spring in my toe off and at 65 I need all the help I can get to keep me running! Amazingly my times have even been a little faster on my usual run coarse. Highly recommend.

I have been wearing Glycerins for long runs for the past few year and these are my favorite in a while. They somehow look sleeker and feel a little roomier at the same time (the 19s seemed a little tighter). I ran 15 miles in them out of the box and was very happy with them.

I love that this shoe comes in a Wide width. It was recommended to me when I started training for a half marathon which I ran today at near PR. The shoes fit great, cushion is great. Will definitely buy again.

Not enough arch support - using cur rex insert. Feels a bit flat. Descent roll.

Love these Brooks glycerin 20. All the Brooks are perfect. I never have to break them in.

5 star!! Honestly, I am not a runner, but the best walking shoes. I have worn Adrenline and Ghost. The Glycerin will be my go to shoe. More toe room for me. :) I bought a pair for work and gym! LOVE!! I am 5.5 and the perfect fit. Thank you Brooks!

I really like the glycerin shoe. Also like the good arch support. I have been buying these since the glycerin 15. This year the 20 seems to be made a little longer fit and kind of flip flops in the back. I wear a womens size 9.5 wide. Thank you, Linda Terronez

This is my first time with the 20s and I like them but it does not feel like as much arch support as the 19s or 17s. I am having some shin pain, but I think that will lessens as I break them in. Overall I love the look and style, I am a long time loyal Glycerine runner and this probably my 12th pair.

I was excited for a neutral/lighter color finally but had to return. Runs small even after sizing up 1/2. Looked like I had duck feet. Sole portion of sneaker is much wider than upper. I love my ghost sneakers.

I purchased the 20s as my second pair of Brooks Glycerins. I had the 18s and wanted a new pair. I was so disappointed, this had much less cushion compared the 18s. Additionally they were narrow toward the top of the shoe.

Ive ran in Brooks Glycerin for about 10 years now and Im very disappointed with the 20. The cushion is just not there for me. Additionally, the material of the shoe strings come untied very easily. I have never had to double knot my Brooks but had to with these. I ended up sending them back and ordering the previous model.

Best shoes in the market. No back pain or knee pain when running since using them.

Amazing running show! It never disappoints! So much room and very lightweight. I was having some IT band/ knee issues lately and since I changed the shoe it greatly improved! I am a big fan of Brooks and this model fits like a glove!
