Brooks has changed the sizing of the Glycerin 20. Even though I ordered the narrow, it is still too wide. I will keep the shoe because I need the cushion and will just have to add another insole.

I've been purchasing Glycerin shoes for years. I was disappointed with the new Glycerin 20. My foot rubbed raw on both sides & it ran big. I didn't feel it at first, so I was unable to take them back. Now I need new shoes and I'm afraid to buy another pair.

Felt great, lots of cushion. But they were short. My usual size is 9.5 but I typically go up half-size for athletic shoes. In this case I ordered size 10, but that was still too short, so I guess I lush go up a whole size.

the shoes were great; good color; good style, just a half a size too short. I will order again in a 8.5

Runs smaller than expected. Will return. I think a half size up may not work

This is my 2nd pair of Brooks Glycerin 20’s. I wear size 8.5 and found them to be true to size. They are extremely comfortable for running, walking and wearing for a full day. I have plantar fasciitis and have typically needed to replace the insoles in tennis shoes with a plantar fasciitis insert. I was so happy that the insoles in these shoes are so comfortable! They are more comfortable than the replacement insoles I had been using. There was no break in period. They were perfect right out of the box.

This was an early Mother’s Day present for my daughter in law. The color scheme is what got my attention because those are her absolute favorite colors. When she sent a thank you text she said in addition to her favorite colors the fact that they are Brooks is an added bonus. She LOVES the shoes and is probably wearing them as I type this on their vacation cruise.

I love this shoe. I need an arch and extra wide because of an old injury. This shoe has both. Even though your regular size almost accommodates my foot well, this Wide width is a necessity. I was surprised at the color when it arrived as I expected almost a white. However, it does the job it is supposed to do.

I now own 7 pairs of Brooks running shoes and my favorites are the Glycerin 20 and Ghost Max. Hands down the best cushion, support and comfort level in any shoes I've owned for walking, running and the gym. The added bonus is that I've never had to break a pair in. They are comfortable from the first step.

I used these for walking not running. This is at least my sixth pair. I have arch pain but need to walk. I have tried many other less expensive shoes but always seem to end up purchasing another BROOKS Glycerin, I love the shoe and the variety of colors. Yes, that makes a difference.

They are amazing! I have always been a Ghost girl, but these have been a game changer for me (easier on the knees, also felt that they improve my form). Still train in Ghosts, but the long runs I now do in Glycerins. Happy running.

These are my go to shoe for long distance training. There is just enough cushion and plenty of support to make those longer runs comfortable

My first pair of Glycerins are from 8 years ago, I'm a fan for life. These are supportive and lightweight at the same time. Love how they feel, my feet are happy!

These Glycerin 20's are very comfortable. I was skeptical at first after reading the reviews, but so far, they feel great after 10 or 12 hour shifts.

I really like these a lot. I think they are good compared to previous versions of the Glycerin. They have a lot of cushion and support but don't feel too soft. I would recommend them.

I suffer from plantar fasciitis and lower back problems. This is the show that has helped me stay pain free and stay in the game. I love this shoe. It has saved me a lot of money in physical therapy!

I have extremely bad feet and knees and finding any kind of shoe that's comfortable is almost impossible. A clerk in a shoe store did a thorough review of my problems and recommended these. I'll never buy anything else. These are the best, most comfortable shoes I've ever owned. I can go on daily walks without knee or foot pain. They're adding years to my life!
