Worth every penny

Great purchase! It was awesome to get these shoes at a well discounted price. As usual the Glycerin 20 offers support and a soft heel. I have three pairs now and don’t think I’ll ever look back.

Brooks Glycerin 20

Barbara 2 months ago Verified Purchase

New Balance changed their design so I had to find a new sneaker for my two feet with two different sizes. I have Morton's Neuroma in both feet so I needed a wide and deep toe box with lots of cushioning. Brooks Glycerin 20 was perfect. I'm now on my second pair.

Glycerin - a fav!

Only run in these and Ghosts!! I have tried others but always keep coming back.

Did not compare to prior years

Jblack 3 months ago Verified Purchase

I've been a glycerin wearer for years. These missed the mark big time. They took out so much cushion. There is minimal support compared to prior versions. I was ready to buy new shoes Within 3 months

Sole on this colorway feels hard and stiff

IndyRunner 3 months ago Verified Purchase

I have several other pairs of the Glycerin 20 which is my basic daily trainer. I loved the drip colorway but the sole feels harder stiffer and less cushioned than on my other pairs. Now I only wear them for shorter runs on the track or unpaved trails.

Best Shoes I've own

SAL 3 months ago Verified Purchase

I purchased these Brooks last year after occasionally getting shin splints with my previous shoes. Someone who was.training for the St Judes Marathon at the same time I was suggested i try Brooks. I am typically a daily jogger on both uneven terrain and treadmill and haven't had the issue since! Best shoes I've ever worn and now have multiple pair!

These shoes are off the charts amazing

My women’s Glycerine 20 are off the charts amazing. I love the way these shoes are supportive and comfortable. Support and comfort are my number one concern.

Very helpful employees We had to make a change on order due to out of stock on first shoe but got a lot of help.

Use to love Brooks Glycerin 20 but…

Maxie2023 4 months ago Verified Purchase

Use to love the Brooks Glycerin 20 shoes but something has changed. During the past 2-3 years I have only worn Brooks Glycerin 20. Iam a daily walker and absolutely loved these shoes. Bought a new pair in July to replace a worn out pair. No issues. Then Glycerin 20 went on sale at Fleet Feet so bought an additional 3 pairs on line due to better color selection and a 4th pair at the store. NONE of them fit my right foot correctly. Now my right foot has not changed but something with these shoes has. The arch support in the right shoe partially hits my foot arch with the rest of it hits my heal. It is extremely uncomfortable as it feels like I have a large rock in my shoe. It causes my foot to throb and cramp. I kept returning these shoes to Fleet Feet and ordering another color thinking it might just be a fluke with that one pair…but alas it was not. The subsequent shoes that I purchased have had the same flaw and those have been returned. Iam now trying the Brooks Ghost Max but am not a fan. Shortly I will try the new Glycerin 21 model…perhaps the pattern for the right shoe has been corrected as I LOVE the Glycerin model but at this point unless something changes I will no longer be able to enjoy them.

Favorite running shoes ever!

Kristen15 4 months ago Verified Purchase

Super soft feel with lots of support. I had a pair of Ghosts prior to this and love these so much more. They do run small. I normally wear a 10 in street shoes. My prior Ghosts were 10.5 and these are an 11.

Long Run Favorite

Cee 4 months ago Verified Purchase

Perfect shoe for long runs! Not too heavy and very comfortable.

Perfect for mom on the go

Angela D 4 months ago Verified Purchase

Great fit and feel. I bought my first pair a year ago and replaced them this month. I wear them everyday. The updated version is out and I still prefer this shoe. I find it more comfortable and I like the look better.

Great shoe- but needs some getting used to

Danarie 4 months ago Verified Purchase

Overall the Glycerin 20 feels great. My only issue has been trying to get used to the heel. It’s wider than the Ghost and I sometimes misstep because of it.

Best shoes ever!!

Shoe runs large

Ward 4 months ago Verified Purchase

The shoes were beautiful and I was looking forward to wearing them. Unfortunately they were too large even though I purchased the same size as my Glycerin 19s. I wanted to exchange them for a smaller size but they were out of my size. A disappointing day.

New 20 model is cut differently than the 19

LL 4 months ago Verified Purchase

This is a new version of the glycerin sneaker and I find it quite different from the 19. In the past I have bought a wide width but with the new style it didn’t work. I then bought a regular width but it still is k not comfortable.

Glycerin 20

Mimi 4 months ago Verified Purchase

This is my second pair of Glycerin 20. My first has been super comfortable and supportive. I like the new color I chose but am hoping the toe of the left shoe doesn’t wear through like my first pair did.

what shoes???????

sale was cancelled...You have shoes advertised then you order them and 2 days later they cancel your order...because they don't have them in stock.....go figure

Ran half marathon right out of the box

Coachkat27 4 months ago Verified Purchase

I had worn Brooks Glycerin for years. Brooks changed the design with Glycerin 17 and made it more form fitting. I guess they listened to the customer because Glycerin 20 was back with a wider toe box. I wear this shoe all the time through running and work (replenishmentmanager F/T in retail on concrete floors so Im constantly moving) My old shoes were wearing down and I have a pair of Hokas that I run in occasionally (wore those for 3 recent races to avoid knee pain it worked) Last weekend I flew to Memphis for marathon weekend and walking through Memphis my Hokas suddenly started rubbing my little toe. Knew I couldn't do the half like that my husband went to expo the night before the half and bought me a new pair of Glycerins. I am a heavy person (5'5 and around 200 lbs) I completed the half in the brand new shoes without any problems. (Did have to stop around mile 4 to backpack them but only because I forgot prior to start) I love the Glycerin and am sooo glad they went back to the wider toe box design.

Simply the best

Your walking on clouds with this sneaker. Has so much Cushing. Great for recovery for foot injuries.

Love the cushioning

Janet M 5 months ago Verified Purchase

I like the extra cushioning in the Glycerins. I have been wearing Ghosts for several years and loved them. But I feel like I'm running a bit faster in these with the same effort. Again the cushioning and a little less heel drop are working for me.

Love these!

Kelly 5 months ago Verified Purchase

Love these running shoes nice cushion and super comfortable. Definitely order your regular size they do not run big.. I previously wore Hoka but they have made some changes and are no longer super comfy. I was a 7 in Hoka and needed a 71/2 in these. Highly recommend these.

Fabulous shoes!

Kristie 5 months ago Verified Purchase

Fabulous! This is my second pair of the shoes and insoles! Love them both! I’ll definitely be purchasing more in the future and I even got my husband hooked on them!

The shoe felt stiff not as soft as the Brooks Ghost. I ended up returning for a more cushioned supportive shoe.

Fleet Feet & Brooks Shoes 🙌🏻

Best Glycerin for me so far

South C 5 months ago Verified Purchase

Best shoes...Have a narrow heel but slightly wider than b width forefoot. These fit perfect. Ample toe box in medium width and narrow heel I bought a couple pairs of there this year since they fit so well. Plush padding...

All I Need!

Tradeshow 5 months ago Verified Purchase

I have a number of foot issues and my Physical Therapist suggested Fleet Feet. The care and concern showed by staff led to me purchasing three pairs of Brooks Glycerin 20 for myself.That is all I wear and all I plan to wear in future.

The added cushioning makes quite a difference for my foot problems. I like the white sole version/black speckled top with material that gives some extra room where needed for anatomical issues. Thanks you for the great service and product.

Try Brooks Glycerin --

LMH 6 months ago Verified Purchase

In the past I wore Brooks Ghost 14 but the current version of Brooks Ghost 15 is not the same; so I decided to try the Glycerin and there are no regrets. The inside cushion in the Glycerin is great

Long days! Flat feet! Brooks to the rescue!

Having flat feet and planters fasciitis these shoes have been a lifesaver. I’m on my feet for 10 to 12 hours at work every day. I could not make it without my brooks glycerin.

Great fit - Great customer service

My physical therapist said I needed new shoes after an accident I had this summer. I headed directly to your store. A kind and patient young man helped with my fitting and found a great shoes for me.

They’ve clearly embraced planned obsolescence...

Ginger 7 months ago Verified Purchase

I wore Brooks Glycerine shoes for many years for work (nurse) and for running and loved everything about them. But a few years ago they cheapened the material in such a way that they break down within months even with light wear. I’m not cheap but refuse to pay $160 for shoes that don’t last a reasonable amount of time. I just replaced my last pair with New Balance Fresh Foam x 880v13 which I expect will do better. Age has slowed me down so an average trainer will suit me fine.

Great color

This color scheme attracts a lot of attention; shoe is comfortable and easy to clean…

Excellent for wide feet

Great shoes I have two pairs and I'm buying a third. My only complaint is that the wide width doesn't come in more colors.

BEST shoes for nursing!!!

I bought these shoes for my job as a caregiver at an assisted living facility. They are amazingly comfortable and super cute! Lots of cushion and great support for my feet. I'll buy them again and recommend them to coworkers.

Cheap quality

Alexa C 1 year ago Verified Purchase

I loved these shoes so much initially. I bought them 6 months ago and they were the most comfortable shoes. They are still comfortable however about some weeks ago i noticed the shoe is already ungluing. It is so upsetting because they are so comfortable and i thought of getting another pair. They were expensive and my $80 nike shoes lasted me 3 years so i figured these more expensive shoes would last even longer.

Great shoe

Judy 1 year ago Verified Purchase

I’m a seasoned runner been running for about 48yrs. Did several types but this is my first brooks I’ve been using Mazuno. Always afraid of a new brand as I usually run 6-8 miles but sometimes I hit 11 miles & then I don’t like the shoes. But I tried these & felt comfortable & then bought them & they have been great!! I have run about 150 miles in them & no problems. Hopefully they’ll hold up thru 400 miles but my mizunos have only been lasting 300.

Great

I started wearing Brooks after foot surgery because of the softer sole. They are by far the most comfortable I have ever owned: tons of support and naturally allow my foot to rock. On top of comfort the colors are great!

Brittany 1 year ago Verified Purchase

I love the Fleet Feet family and platform. Always very user-friendly & timely with shipping and customer service. The Brooks Glycerin 20 shoe offers the right amount of support without compromising comfort. I have an average-width foot and find the toe box does not crunch my toes together (even when I was pregnant these shoes kept my feet happy).

Brooks are the best!

Les S 1 year ago Verified Purchase

I was looking for a well-cushioned pair of walking shoes and I am delighted with Brooks Glycerin 20 shoes. The Fleet Feet employee told me that I have high arches (which I didn’t know) and the insert purchase separately also makes these shoes really comfortable.

My new marathon shoe!

Micaela 1 year ago Verified Purchase

These are now my trusted marathon shoes! As someone with wide feet it’s tough getting any shoe or industry favorite because they don’t come in wide width. Brooks has always been my go to because they carry comfortable wide width shoes. These new glycerins not only provide comfort but a nice bounce especially when they’re fresh out of the box. I ran my most recent marathon in these and had absolutely no foot discomfort during or after the race. It also was my fastest marathon yet. Safe to say I’ll be buying these over and over again!

First time with Brooks I was sold on the cushioning….I was running on clouds! Toe box is wide with no seams which I like. No arch support and mid section of shoe seems wide….so my foot moves around more. Adjusted with insert and thicker socks.
