Customer Reviews Brooks Glycerin GTS 20

Love these shoes. Very comfortable and a lot of support!

I love these. I'm a woman with wide feet and recently found men's regular width shoes fit. I wear a 9.5 wide women's in running shoe and an 8 regular width in men's. These are very comfortable and supportive. I've worn them for a few weeks now and have no complaints.

Truly an Achilles saver in my case. So, over the past 8-years I have been faithful to Saucony, because these shoes are slightly more narrow (better "hug") and the original Hurricane Iso's were similarly(ish) designed to the Brooks Glycerin & Adrenalin. Fast forward today and the closest shoes they make to the old discontinued Hurricane Iso's were made so cheaply that within 2-months of use, they caused debilitating achilles tendon pain for me to the point that I was on the verge of having to stop running for the first time in 20-years. So much pain in fact that walking was becoming a struggle. Needless to say, out of desperation to continue my weekly jogging regiment, I frantically researched other shoe brands to help alleviate my pain and ended up settling on the Glycerin GTS 20's. All I can say is thank God for Brooks. Literally within 2-week of switching to these shoes (not even properly broken in yet), my Achilles pain is expeditiously dissipating. Every day feels a little better, and every jog feels more comfortable and more stable. I am now getting to a point where I can throttle my pace up and down, run hills, and interval train like I always have without grinding my teeth to distract from the intense Achilles throbbing. HUGE thank you to all the folks at Brooks. You saved my running career. Please continue to prioritize making top quality shoes like these. Your shoes help people, and I can't wait for the next Glycerin GTS to be launched. A narrow width in these would be nice. Just an FYI.

I work in the ER and these shoes are so nice.. I've tried a couple other types of shoes that are supposed to be comfortable but to no avail. The Brooks glycerin gts are soft on the heel and arches, I can get the sole throughout the whole step supporting my feet. These shoes are a game changer!

These are the best. I prefer a softer cushion and so far these are the best. I have ghost 14 that I thought were great but tried these in and have now retired the ghost.

These are my favorite pair of shoes. I buy them each year and use them for running or walking. Their light, but also cushion well.

I love the glycerin style with all the feet problems these are the best

I love my Glycerin GTS 20. I am a BIG guy. I was over 400 pounds when I got my first nice pair of shoes. I knew I was going to go through them fast and that was worrisome when you are talking these kind of prices. But I was steered towards these shoes, went in to a local store to try them on and fell in love with them. After about 70 miles, I was starting to get concerned that they were wearing kinda fast. I contacted customer support with pictures and they agreed with my hypothesis of my weight being a factor in the wear level, but they were not at a level where I should be concerned. So I soldiered on. I put about 275 miles on them before I started looking for a new pair. I ended up trying on about 50 pairs of all kinds of different brands and ending up landing on Hoka Clifton 9's since they felt great inside the store. And since I have such a large foot (14 Wide), it can be tough to find shoes with interesting colorways. Hoka offered a lot so I tried them out. After about 50 miles in the Hoka's, I noticed they really weren't wearing in or getting really comfortable and I my feet were actually hurting a bit. So, I went shoe shopping again and ended up trying on a size 14 regular width of the Glycerin GTS 20 and it fit nicely and reminded me just how much I liked the shoes right from the start. So I returned the Hoka's and immediately ordered a new pair of the Glycerins. And since now I had lost a bunch of weight and I could fit into a size 14 regular, I was able to get a whole bunch of fun new colorways. I ended up going with the jadeite/drip series and I love them. They are SLIGHTLY different than all the other colors (the toe box is missing all the little vents that the other colorways have but I haven't found it to effect the shoes at all). I now have 350 miles on the original pair and they have been semi-retired to become my indoor biking shoes. I also have about 125 miles on the new pair that I bought a month ago and I am going to definitely be looking at another pair by the end of next month. I would DEFINITIVELY say that being that I weighed so much and put a lot of hard miles on these shoes, not only are they EXCELLENT for my feet (solved issues with plantar fasciitis) but they wear extremely well. Even when it is wet out, they still have enough grip where I am not sliding around. The foam sole layers have not become flat or lost their cushioning. I would keep wearing them but really, the outsole grips are pretty much at the end of their life span. They still work great as everyday shoes or like I use them on the bike, but the grip was the limiting factor. Still, I got WAY more out of my first pair than I expected. They fixed my feet issues, they were comfortable for a big guy to walk 35 miles a week in them and not cause any further issues. That was a BIG plus for me. Being that feet are so important to keep healthy while you're in the middle of a weight loss, having the right, comfortable pair of shoes that keeps you moving is key. Glycerin GTS for the win. I am just hoping they have more colors by the end of August, although I really like the new Adrenaline GTS 23's that just came out! If Brooks wants to sponsor me, you know where to find me! Haha

These are the best running shoes I've ever had. I went to a local store to try on different brands and kinds and these are what I went with. Since getting these, pain from running has diminished and I am feeling better than ever. They are so comfortable and supportive where you need it. I love my Brooks Glycerin 20s!

Now running in my second pair of glycerin gts 20s. The 20s are a marked improvement over the 19s. The cushioning is much softer and the color options are better (currently have the splatter paint version). I'm sure I'll have many more before v21 comes out. :) For reference: skinny 6 footer, run 6-7 mi. ~daily.

Wide fit is a blessing. Loving the shoes so far. Let's see how they do at a marathon this weekend

This is my third pair of Glycerin GTS20...I love them....I ordered these for the color....I normally wear the stealth fit...but these are great.

Best pair of shoes I owned in years! I have to be honest I bought them for walking I have neuropathy in my feet and lower legs pretty bad due to chemo treatments for cancer and by far the most comfortable shoes I have owned so far. I am able to go all day without having to remove them do to swollen feet.

Out of the 8 pair i own it's my favorite shoes

I love my Glycerin GTS 20s! The cushioning is just right. Not too much, not too little. The color combination is also a winner These shoes look and perform with excellence.

Very happy with the styling and fit so far. And they look great!

The fit is amazing, colors are exactly like they're shown on the site and the support is perfect

Love the drip color. Mainly as a fashion/fun running shoe.

I own the Glycerin 20 GTS in every color. We need new colors to be released. Chicago Matathon is 88 days away and I need to add to my rotation. It's my go to shoe, please tell me your on the verge of releasing new colors of the Glycerin GTS 20!!!!!

Amazing running shoes!! In the past I had knee and shin splits issues and after using these shoes, those issues are gone!! I run 2-3 days per week (45-60 minutes/ day) and my weight is 85 kg

These are the best fitting, most comfortable shoes I have ever had. The cushioning and support are superior and the toe room is perfect. I am walking better and my chronic foot and back pain are greatly improved. I am so glad I used the shoe fitting link on the Brooks Running web site. The only issue is that I wish I would have tried these a long time ago! I am buying another pair soon.

These new shoes are great, wanted to thank the Brooks folks for helping me select these shoes.
