Glycerin has been my go to running shoe for years, and this pair is fab as always! Cushioning excellent, and I love the black around the sole instead of usual white-very classy touch! Two free pairs of socks was great bonus! Thanks!

I purchased the newer Glycerin but this shoe simply doesnt feel like the prior Glycerin shoes Ive purchased. The foot bed is too wide and the sole of the shoe has worn out so quickly. If I could return this shoe, I would.
Im very happy that I purchased the Adrenalin and love that shoe.

Ive run in several models of the Glycerin since 2001, and this is the best one yet! The new foam is a combination of responsive and spongy and soft. Whether you run 100 miles a week or 20, consider adding this shoe to your rotation! The upper is soft and pliable and hugs the foot nicely. It has a nice rounded toe box, snug heel and soft collar. I also have the Ghost and while this is slightly heavier, it gives me the protection I need on longer runs and I feel refreshed after. If you are a neutral runner, definitely add this to your rotation!

I love this shoe. It feels like you are running on a cloud! There is a huge difference between the Glycerin 20 and the past models.

Love the shoes!
This is my second pair of the 20s and have been perfect for marathon training!
They do have a little higher heel than the 19 so you will want to ramp your miles to avoid any pain.

I absolutely love these shoes! Im a nurse on my feet for 12 hours at a time, and Brooks glycerin shoes are all that I wear! The 20s did not disappoint! Comfort and support and I actually love the metallic color!

These are by far the best running shoes I have ever owned. They offer support while still being cushioned.

I chose these because someone in a running website said they were good for bigger runners, which I am. I have been training for a half marathon. These required no time to break in. Comfy right out of the box. They are as comfortable or more than my old Ghosts. I dont know if these are the fastest shoes but they are the most comfortable, even for 10+ mile runs.

Been a little over a month and Ive worn these to run/workout and at work as a nurse. So far Im loving them! Ive worn brooks glycerin for many years and was disappointed in the last model (almost changed companies all together). Gave Brooks another chance and Im liking these a lot. They are more TTS than the last model which ran very small and seem to have a wider toe box. They are less cushioned, walking on clouds feel that normal glycerin but still very supportive and comfortable. The quality fees better and they are very breathable. Overall really like these and feel like they will hold up better than last model!

I did not love the Glycerine 20. The side came up too high and rubbed against my ankle bone. The insole did not have a good feel. It is too soft.

These are some of the most comfortable shoes, whether I am walking, running or wearing for everyday use. My feet are happy in these shoes and my knees feel great. I have yet to have any knee pain.

This shoes has an even softer more cushioned feel than past models. It has good support and bounce. The only thing I wish was a little different is it presses slightly on the top of my big toe. My past style didnt but I also just had a baby so my feet have changed a little.

I love these shoes! I am now a brooks believer. It's been 10 months and I'm ordering the same pair. These shoes have been great on my feet, great when I was recovering from an ankle sprain, great for my walks (2+ miles daily), and look so good. Worked well in a variety of weathers and was good with being breathable. Highly recommend and very much worth the money. Also, returns are very simple and easy! Truly no regrets.

I've been wearing Brooks Glycerin for years and this model has the widest toe box yet. I wear 9.5AA and this shoe had too much extra fabric over the top of my foot.

I am normally a size 7. The 7 1/2 fit pretty well. But I feel like a full size up would work as well. Brooks are unmatched in cushiony comfort and support. The quality is beyond other brands also. I like the shoes but they tend to make your feet hot.

Been wearing Glycerins since the 10. These 20s are my favorite version. Very cushioned. Supports my custom orthotics very well. These are my ner favorites. My previous favorites were the 11s.

Glycerin is my go to shoe! This was nice, lots of cushion but they run a bit big compared to my Glycerin 19’s. Plus they just looked and felt different. Hard to explain but maybe a thicker sole and bigger toe box. Almost felt like the Hoka Bondi which are awesome shoes but don’t work for me. Luckily found some 19’s on Amazon so ordered 2 pairs!
