Customer Reviews Brooks Glycerin 20

I have been wearing Brooks Glycerin for several years for exercise walking. I had been very pleased with the versions 18 and 19, but version 20 seems to have been redesigned, not for the better. It feels stiffer in the soles and less cushioned. The front part of the shoe (medium width) is wide and bulbous, so my foot slips around. If I tighten the laces, the fabric on the front part of the shoe bunches up. I'm quite unsatisfied with this shoe.

This is my fourth pair of Glycerins in 9.5 narrow. I’ve always loved the fit of this shoe, but this version is totally different. The toe box is incredibly wide compared to past versions. If I tie them tight enough to fit, they pucker like crazy at the toe box and even then, still feel wide and insecure. I thought maybe I’d get used to them, but every time I put them on I feel regret, especially considering the price and the fact that there is only ever one color choice in narrow (so I never feel very excited about the look). I wish I had returned them before wearing, but I really didn’t want to have to go back on the hunt for a good narrow running shoe. Sadly, I’ll have to go looking anyways. Do not recommend for narrow feet.

This is my fourth pair of Glycerin shoes - I’ve always ordered size 9.5 narrow with great results. Unfortunately, this pair fits totally different. The toe box is incredibly wide compared to the shoes I’ve owned in the past. The toe box puckers like crazy if I tie them tight enough, and even then, they just feel loose and insecure. So disappointing, as I’ve been loyal to this shoe for years and it’s hard to find the right athletic shoes for narrow feet. I tried wearing them anyways, and have regret every time I put them on. Sadly, it’s back to the drawing board for a good running shoe.

Even though I exchanged for half size smaller than usual, they are still a bit large. Another half size smaller will be too short. Sorry that Brooks messed with the size. I will have to make adjustments somehow because of I need the cushioning of the Brooks Glycerin. Maybe wear two pairs of socks. Liked the fit of Glycerin 19 much better.

Looks great but didn’t fit my foot. Had to return.

This is the 6th pair (different styles and sizes) that I'm returning (to Amazon and Zappos). I've worn Brooks for years but apparently they have changed, not for the better. I order a Wide because I need more room in the ball of the foot, but there is not enough room in the new ones. My old ones are GREAT, so I'll be buying new insoles from New Balance instead of buying new shoes.

Box said exactly what I ordered, Brooks Glycerin 20, Size Women's 10B but what was inside was totally different! I received a pair of Brooks Ghost 15. I will exchange for a pair of Glycerin 20. Hope I get what I order.

size was good. felt like i was walking on bricks. felt very clunky.

Got a used pair of stinky shoes

Think these were returns vs new. Did not fit at all

I was so disappointed with the new Brooks Glycerine 20. I’ve worn this shoe for years and loved it. Now the design and it is a different show with the same name and somewhat same look. This was my go to running show but no more.
