Customer Reviews Brooks Glycerin 20

Lots of cushion, but too much for me. I need more stability.

I like them but I wouldn't say I'm in love with these. I got fitted at a running store in them and honestly my calves are paying for this change is shoes. I do like the light color options for the FL sun and overall toe box width.

I recently switched to the Glycerin GTS 20 for the wider toe box. The comfort and fit of the shoe was expected. However, the upper material of the shoe is poor quality. The shoe stained just from walking in wet grass. I'm not sure why the uppers on these shoes are so different (poorer quality) from the quality of the Adrenaline's GTS. I've had these shoe for about a month and they look 10 years old.

I went through your on line test to see which shoes would be the best for me and the Glycerin GTS 20 was picked for me. I have had them about a month and I am not as comfortable in them as I am the Revels. My feet and knees start to bother me as I'm moving in them. Now this is just my opinion, I have knee, ankle and feet issues so these might be better for others.

These provide great cushion and stability. I still need to use my own insoles because I pronate pretty significantly, but these work well for me otherwise. I run about 15 miles a week, walk the dog daily, and play other sports in these. I gave them 4 stars because they just don't last more than 3 months for me. The sole wears out, the upper gets too loose and the support wains. In my opinion, sneakers (in general) lost so much support when they went to all mesh uppers. There just isn't nearly as much stability. Once my shoes are "broken in" they are just too loosey goosey.

I've been wearing Glycerins for years and loved them in the past. The 20 has a narrower toe box with less fabric on top, which doesn't accommodate my foot very well. Even though the shoe is comfortable, it bruises my toes and leaves a red mark on the top of my foot. Another downside for those wearing a wide is the very limited selection of colors available. Lastly, the sole wears out quicker than in the past Glycerin models. I miss the old Glycerin and haven't found a good replacement.

These have a nice appearance, but they are not as supportive as my Glycerin GTS 19s.

I am normally a size 9 so I ordered 9, but they were at least a half size too small. Also, I ordered these shoes because I have plantar facietis, but they didn't help so for both reasons decided to return. Sorry but they didn't work for me.

Ordered in wide, not as good as Adrenoline, too narrow

I purchased these as a replacement to my Ghost 15. They are ok. I prefer the Ghost, and wish I had gotten them instead. I purchased the same size but the fit is slightly different around the ankle & width. They are cushiony but not as comfortable as my Ghosts were.

Toe bed too shallow. Not very cushioned. I loved my glycerine 19s. Wish I could get another pair of those:(

I have been purchasing Glycerin shoes for a few years now, and I was disappointed to find that the cushioning has changed in the Glycerin 20 and the sole is a completely different material. The appeal of the Glycerin was that it felt like walking on clouds; it was super bouncy and comfortable. Now, stepping in it feels stiff and firm - exactly the opposite of before. Because the Ghost is still using the padding that the Glycerin 19 used, I bought the Ghost instead.

Ever since I got my first Brooks Glycerin 17, I have bought every new Glycerin that came out since. None of the new ones compares to the 17. Toe box seems to get narrower (even though I buy wide) and it is just not as comfortable. Also the color choices and design with the newer ones are just not great. Sometimes too bright or too dark, or too much print that it does not match much of my outfits. I wish they would have kept the Glycerin 17 technology. It was my favorite pair of shoes.

Unfortunately my feet did not like these shoes. My feet ached pretty badly after wearing.

The the Peach/ Tangerine/ Orange Glycerin 20 doesn't look like the picture on the website. The website picture looks like a sexy, golden-orange sunset. But in real life, the color looks like the peach colored Crayola crayon. It reminds me of the chars Slim Goodbody.

I am having problems with the bottom of my feet and also bunions, my podiatrist recommended these but I had to change out the soles and add a second pair of soles to make them more comfortable!

Shoe choices for wide width need to be expanded. While Brooks are the only athletic shoe brand that fit my feet, I am consistently wishing for equal options of colors and shoe choices that is available for normal width. I suffer from chronic pain and plantar fascitis so good athletic support & cushioning shoes are a medical necessity for me. I need to be able to rotate my shoes and it's quite difficult with limited options for wide width.

The cushioning was not as good as Ghost 14 I did not like the stabilizing edges to the foot bed It was roomier in the upper part

I really wanted to like these. I've been using the Ghost 14s for about a year, but I decided to switch to the Glycerin for a bit more cushion. The Glycerin 20 is too stiff for me. The cushion wasn't there. Unfortunately, I'll have to return them.

comfortable, but bulky. The foamis too high and wide. I am a 11 and had to get a 11.5 for some reason Brooks are running small! They never used to be. They just look huge on me. Just ordered a pair of the ghost and they are better looking for sure

I've worn Brooks' Glycerin shoes for many years and have always been happy with the fit of the uppers. While the width of the Glycerin 20 is normal, the toe box on this model tapers quickly, which makes for a shorter fit. I went up a half-size to compensate for it with the trade-off being my foot sliding more in the shoe. I'm using alternative lacing to keep my heel locked in better, but I definitely miss the cut of the previous versions.

The Glycerin 20 feels different than the 19. Not as cushiony - the support feels different. The shoelaces are also weird. Not thrilled with this one. It also feels bigger than the others and I keep buying the same size.
