I was sooo worried about going to all the Disney parks with my kids a week ago and doing all of that walking as I have plantar fasciitis pretty bad in both feet. Never worn Brooks before, I took a big chance and bought a pair of your Glycerin 20s as they were recommended to me by my son. And let me tell me that I absolutely love the shoes! They got me thru walking over 55 miles in 6 days without feeling like I needed to sit down all the time. These shoes were a God Send!!! Thanks so much Brooks for getting me thru a week that I didnt think was possible! Im thinking about buying a pair for my husband too!

Too much room in the toe box. No real guidance for the toe area. Toes slide Al over inside.

First, they come in narrow. Yay! The heel comes higher up the ankle offering more stability.

This is my first Brooks purchase - I just ordered these as Im getting back into running after a year-long hiatus (Im in my mid-40s). I literally feel like Im running on a cloud. Theyre so comfortable and I love the support and stability. I do recommend ordering a half-size up (Im a 9.5 and ended up going with the 10). After wearing Asics for years, these will now be my go-to running sneakers.

I love the shoe, but the 2A - is NOT a narrow shoe. I have several other models of Brooks in narrow, and they are a true narrow. For $160, please change the width on the next remake?

I love the cushioning and the soles. My biggest complaint is that the laces are very slippery and keep getting untied. I use these for walking and they're perfect otherwise.

These shoes are amazing! The 19s did not work for my feet at all, but with the 20s I've fallen back in love with the Glycerin. Supreme comfort from the first step to the last of my run. My feet are happy again.

Hi, I had ordered these ahead of time as my older shoes had started to wear of. I started wearing these new shoes in mid/end January. I have planter fasciitis because of which Ive been wearing glycerines since past 5/6years. However this time, in less than 3 months of wearing this shoe, the fabric has torn from right corner shoe and the plastic/sole part that cover the front of the shoe, is coming off as well. On the right side it has chipped and the left one had been slowly detaching from the shoe. Given the price of this shoe, its extremely disappointing to see the quality drop so low!! My glycerines, I wear these for atleast a year for walks and then couple years for regular errands and I have never seen it falling apart this quick in past 5-6 yrs! Ive contacted customer support to replace this shoe. I hope brooks can maintain the quality of their products!

I’m on the fence about these. I’ve been wearing the Ghost 14’s in a narrow with orthotics. The Glycerins are a bit wider than the Ghosts but the more major issue is that they’re almost too cushioned for me and don’t support my arches as I’d hopped. Plus although they’re wider and longer than the previous version, the instep is low and caused upper foot pain for me on the elliptical trainer when I tried them out. I’m getting the Ghost 15’s this week and I’ll compare.

I work 12-16 hour shifts in a nursing home and needed something that was going to be supportive as well as give me a spring in my step. These are my first pair of Brooks and they do not disappoint! They are also perfect for when I have to shower someone and they are non slip enough that I feel safe continuing to move quickly through each task. I will definitely be purchasing and wearing Brooks shoes from now on!

After three tries to find the right size with this walking shoe, I settled on the size 11 narrow. I usually wear 9.5 in New Balance. Obviously, these shoes run short as my toe was right up to the tip of the shoe in 9.5, 10, and 10.5
I'd also recommend:

I like the fit and cushion. My one complaint with the shoe is that the laces arent long enough when you do a runners tie and so they can come undone while running unless you double knot.

I am very pleased with the glycerin 20. The last few versions have been disappointing, but I like the new changes. The cushion feel is great. I wish the price was more affordable so I could buy multiple colors!

Love my glycerin by Brooks! So comfy-like walking on air I am a 10.5, but always buy a 1/2 size up, to prevent sore feet.

I found this shoe mostly comfortable, only a little tight on my heel. When I'm active I don't notice, but during a drive I when travelling I had to take them off because I felt my heels were going numb

I have bunions so the wides were a perfect fit. Beautiful and comfy feeling shoe at first. But they dont seem to absorb shock or cushion well. Not sure how, but the Ghosts are more cushioning for me. After a short two mile walk my feet hurt, especially my heels. After a short four mile run my feet and back hurt. I was bummed because they fit so nicely in the toe box. But I had to return them. They were just too rigid feeling for me.

Replaced my worn out glycerin 19s with the new glycerin 20s. I loved the super soft cushion of the 19s, this is definitely not the same in the 20s; much firmer, feels a little less responsive. I hated the back of the heel of the 19s and often had to fight blisters or wear very specific socks; the 20 seems to have remedied this issue- no blisters regardless of sock choices. The 20 is much less flexible than the 19 felt. Not enjoying the 20 as much as I loved the 19, but still a good shoe.

I absolutely rave about this shoe. I have had no other shoe since my first pair 6 years ago. (I do wish you would bring back that fluorescent yellow color by the way)I was running 5 plus miles a day and this shoe held up to the challenge. I have not had a shoe hold up to everyday wear much less running everyday. This shoe is so comfortable to just wear casually and it will stand the test of time if you put it to work. I wish I could have 2 or three pair at once just to have the variety of looks.
