Finally, A shoe that works for me. I wanted a maximum plush sole with a neutral footbed with a roomy toebox that breathed well and it was impossible to find. I went through so many pairs but these are great. Perfect for those who wear orthotics. Let's just hope they don't remodel it and destroy the perfect shoe.

These are far and away the most comfortable brooks shoes I’ve worn. To me, they feel just a little too long in the toe, but I’ve compensated for it with an orthotic insert, which also makes it even cushier. my only complaint is that for wide feet like mine (2E), the color choices are very limited. I wish you companies would stop penalizing us who have wide feet.

Fit perfect. Very comfortable. I'm s nurse and worked a 15+ hour shift the first time I wore them and didn't get any foot or back pain.

LOVE THESE SHOES! They are so cute and I've already gotten so many compliments on them. They are comfy (as you would expect from Brooks) but how can you go wrong with Fruit Loops on your shoes?

Brooks Glycerin 20 is very comfortable. However, they run short and narrow. I had to get a wider width in my size, but they were not available. I ended up purchasing a men's size medium width which is a wide width in a woman's size. They have a lot of cushioning which is something I am always looking for in a shoe and they don't slip at the back of the heel. They are also pointed which is why a larger and a wider size is necessary for most. I don't really have a wide foot. They felt tight across the toe area which will require a wider width. I love Zappos for shoes, they are the best!!

I am not a runner, and haven't been for a while. I got these to walk in everyday. Since I got them I have walked a mile a day, and these are fantastic! My feet are never sore, and it corrects my Supination completely. I will buy these as long as Brooks makes them!

I am wearing the Glycerin for almost 15 years now. One pair per season and for at least 2 Marathons per year. Great shoes and so far no reason to look elsewhere; even though they are one of the most expensive running shoes out there. keep it up Brooks

The shoes are comfortable and I’ve wore glycerins for years as I’m on my feet all day for work. However, I can’t keep these tied. I don’t like double knotting my shoes, so I have to re-tie the shoes numerous times a day. It’s both shoes, so maybe the laces are just a poor quality.

I am still trying to love the shoes. When I first put them on they were very comfortable. I went on my first run and I almost didn't make it back because of the insole being so hard on the very edge at my heel. I tried again the next day but same result. It's wearing a blister on the bottom of my foot every time. I keep hoping maybe they will get broken in and I can keep them. I'm just not sure the insole will get any softer around the edges.

With very wide feet, a high arch, and large foot mass, these are great. I usually take a 9, but the 9.5 was perfect and I walk 6-8 miles at a clip very comfortably.

Fits great and provides excellent arch support which is vital for my aching feet. Very light and creates a spring in the step. This is my second Brooks walking shoe and I love them and will re-order when needed. This pair I've had over six months, and I expect 6 more months before being replaced. I walk 2.5mi/day 3-4/week.

Great every day shoe and long run shoe. Great comfort and not heavy. Fits my relatively narrow feet quite well.
