Wish they had more arch support. I have these shoes from years ago and the arch was much better. I wear a 6.5 wide and these shoes fit…I just need more arch support.

I thought these sneakers were finally "it", but alas, though they feel good when I initially put them on, my feet begin to ache after a few hours of wear in the house. I was looking for a stability sneaker for over pronation, and have been searching for years for a wide toe box, narrow heel. I believe the toe box in these is a smidgen too snug, though they seem to provide support that is very similar to the Saucony Omni 15 which was the best sneaker I ever wore. I tried a 7M to accommodate orthotics, as I am a 6 1/2 M. I even tried a 7 1/2 but they were too long for me.

Run a tad big. Smaller shoe laces that make it difficult to double knot. Other than that I love the shoe. Very light weight. Happy Running

fit was perfect but these shoes do not have the same all day support as the adrenaline 22's do.

I I Be specific about your likes and dislikes. How was the fit and size? What does the material feel like? How awesome (or not) do you feel wearing them? I. Always wear a size 8. These were huge. I had to return them and get a smaller size.

So I have been wearing brooks for over a decade. Normally I buy a cheaper pair and just put orthotic in them however decided to *splurge* and get these. They didn’t wow me like they have in the past. to pay this kind of $ they were “okay”. The toe box is definitely wider than it has been, and the cushion support was okay but not what it used to be. Overall I didn’t “love” so I sent them back

I have been wearing an earlier version of these shoes and these definitely fit wider. It works for me, but even with my wide feet and bunions, there's extra room.

These had a very wide toe box. That is not a feature that works for me, so I am sending them back.

Fits truer to size than Hoka, which runs big and had a hard time finding a true fit. This shoe has the same support.

Oh I really wanted these to fit! I haven't had a Glycerin sneaker since they changed the style/ structure a number of years ago, but that was all I wore before that and had to go to the Ghost sneaker ( the 13 was perfect, 14 a bit narrow). So, my fussy toes- I need a wide toe box, not a wide shoe. Read all of the reviews and ordered 9 and 9W. ( before my little toes were a recent problem I wore an 8.5). So, the 9 was too tight across the toes and the 9W- was as I was afraid, wide all over the forefoot. I have thin feet. I tried various insoles and orthotics which helped but made the toes too tight, so I returned and kept the Ghost . This GTS20 style is great- I ordered the black/white. The are also a bit stiffer under the foot, but ok.

Fit & comfort were great. Don’t understand the lavender accents. The heel on base of shoe is barely lavender & looks more like default than a “style”. Shoes themselves were great otherwise so I can live with the coloring.

Just not very comfortable. Definitely not comfortable enough for long time on your feet or distance walking. Back to Hoka.

My feet still hurt for people with planter fasciitis . That's why I hate paying that much for something that doesn't work

I have always worn nothing but Brooks but these just are not comfortable. Insoles aren’t soft like some of my others.

I'm not a huge fan of this particular Brooks shoe. It feels sloppy. Since it was my first time with this model, I gave it a couple of weeks before reviewing it. The guard rails don't keep my ankles from rolling and it is too soft. These are for work and my average is about 13K steps per day and these simply will not do. What a bummer since the 22's were my go to.

I love the look of the shoe but sadly they haven't been my most comfortable shoes. My other Brooks shoes never caused me any pain. This pair has left the bone on the outside of my foot closer to the ankle, sore. I wore them for a full nursing shift last week and came home in pain on both feet. Today I wore them again and only one foot was uncomfortable. It was a lot better than last week, so It did improve. Since I only work one day a week I've only worn them twice. I'm hoping that by next week I will be pain free. These are bones that I have never felt pain in before.
I will do another review if they stop hurting my feet completely.

Overall, this Brooks is still a good shoe; however after buying several of them and wearing them regularly, I guess we get particular. I still LOVE my Ghost 15, and I purchased a GTS 19 that wears nearly the same as the Ghost... I almost can't tell them apart unless I LOOK at them - but this one fell short. Not for style but for the fit.
I DO like the cushion, but it doesn't feel any different to me than the previous styles mentioned... and it's one of the reasons I love these 2 Brooks (Ghost & Glycerine.)
The toe box in this shoe feels abnormally roomy... I like space in the toe box but there was nothing wrong with the previous versions so I don't know why they changed it up here. It makes the shoe feel too big even though it isn't. I will wear it for the color - but I wouldn't buy another.

Ordered a size 10 medium. Would have kept them if they hadn't sent a 10 for the left and a 9.5 for the right. Now I have to reorder them and return these. But I am reordering them and I have super fussy feet.

I would love to return these shoes. I walk 4 miles daily, and although they have good arch support and cushion, I got blisters from them; I tried them again today and they are still not comfortable. I am going back to the adrenaline. They are good for every day wear, but not for my long walks.

The shoe is a 5 but the Glycerin 20 has laces that don???t stay tied and are too short to double tie! I???ve tried twice to get replacement laces with no success. Please help.

i ordered a wide which i always need, but this shoe is so wide that my foot slides from side to side even with my thick socks on. Going to return them.

These shoes are comfy, but they hurt my legs because they are so bouncy.
