Comfortable but wider than the previous Brooks I bought (Ghost 14, Trace 2) in the same size (8B). If the fit were less sloppy these shoes would be my favorite.

The cushioning seemed strange ! I really loved my ones from 2022' and thought these would be similar but they almost feel " lumpy " to walk on and the heel externally seems to have a strange design. I own own several pairs of Ghosts & adrenalins ; was hoping these would be like my old favorite Glycerines but no, very different .

I needed more support and cushion in my running shoes as I recovered from an injury. These shoes provide great stability and cushioning, and were just the ticket... until it rained. As comfortable as they were in dry weather, they immediately soaked up any rain water. By the end of 3 miles, I was squishing. Horrible. Great shoes if you live in a dry climate. Not so great for the Pacific Northwest!

There was nothing inherently wrong with this shoe except that I need it for HIIT cross fit training and the exaggerated rocker motion at the front of the show (sole lifts up dramatically) made it impractical for this purpose. For general walking fitness I think this shoe might be great. Lots of room in the front toe show area so my metatarsalgia wouldn't be triggered. Comfy foot bed.

Used the sizing option based on my previous brand sneakers and was advised to order a 10 wide. Found them to feel a bit large for my feet since I typically wear a 9.5 wide. Wore them for around 60 days and found them comfortable at times, but after long walks around Disney parks (where we live), was feeling discomfort The laces would come undone @ 6 times an outing of 8 hours! Finally decided to return them and order a 9.5 wide, but unfortunately, they were no longer available due to the sale. So I ordered a 9.5 regular due to the reviews stating the toe box is wider. Have only been wearing them a few days and am having pain across the top of my foot. Not sure what to do at this point. Really like this shoe and would be great in my size. Do appreciate the 90 day guarantee! Does anyone know if this material will stretch at all for summer months? That is my fear that when my feet swell in the Florida heat, I will have a bigger issue.

Somewhat disappointed. I find they are not as cushioned as expected. Also hurts my arch in the right foot. I should have stayed with the adrenaline gts 22 I had previously

I tried these but officially determined that darker uppers with white just looks off-balance and dated somehow. The Glycerin GTS 22 felt better and opted for that.

These Glycerin 20 GTS are different from Glycerin 20, not as cushy and comfortable for my feet.

I was very disappointed with these shoes. I ordered a wide, but my small bunion still went over the side of the shoe. I also ordered a half size larger, which made the shoe too long and the arch didn’t hit me correctly. For that much money, I want shoes to feel dreamy. I had to send them back

Felt comfortable walking in. But during my run, started having a lot of lower leg pain. More bulky than the shoes I have worn in the past. Ended up returning for the ghosts and those feel better.

Nice looking shoe but was not available in narrow. This resulted in it being too wide at the mid-foot and not able to "fix" it by tightening the ties. Overall the fit was too loose.

I've been purchasing Glycerin running shoes for a few years & have nothing but good things to say. However, this pair feels narrow in the heel, not to uncomfortable but I can tell this shoe is narrow.

So many raving that these are super comfortable but not working for me. If you don't have boney feet, they're fine. Imho, they're very nice looking (love the graphite grey color) but there's just not enough cushioning, particularly for your heels. Really wanted to keep these. The search continues.

My old Glycerin 16 is still my favorite. I don't know what they keep changing about the Glycerin but each new style is a little less supportive and less comfortable.

I've been running in the Glycerine GTS for a couple years as my primary shoe. I've always loved the springy cushioning, but this pair was definitely more stiff. Still a comfortable shoe but not as good as my previous pairs. Also, the color selection was a little bland.

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 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.

I loved these shoes, but the durability was TERRIBLE. They fit really well. They were super comfortable. I loved how they looked. But in only three months of fairly light wear, they developed a hole in the top of the toe. The mesh upper is really thin and wears through really fast. I’m glad I didn’t actually use them as my primary shoe. They probably would have lasted a month if I had.

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.

Comfortable fit but the nice cushion feeling sinks flat pretty quickly and my feet ache after just a few hours of wear. I also took the quiz and these were the recommended shoes so pretty unfortunate that it didn't work out.

Nice shoe but there are other Brooks at a cheaper price that was just as good in my opinion, I exchanged these for a pair of Trace. For 160.00 I wanted it to feel like I was walking on air.

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.
