Brooks Glycerin 20: Supreme Comfort Meets Featherlight Performance
The Brooks Women's Glycerin 20 running shoe is a triumph of engineering, earning top marks for comfort right out of the box thanks to the plush cushioning. This shoe nails the perfect size and length, offering a true-to-fit experience that prevents pinching without feeling sloppy. Its expertly crafted upper contributes to a wonderfully light feel, defying the shoe's cushioning profile and making long runs feel effortless. The forefoot flexibility allows for a natural and responsive toe-off, boosting the overall functionality as a high-mileage neutral trainer. For runners seeking luxurious padding without sacrificing quick transitions, the Glycerin 20 delivers a consistently exceptional, cloud-like ride.

Favorite sneaker brand!
It was time for a new pair of Brooks and I absolutely LOVE this pair. The pictures do not do the colors justice. The fit is true to size and very breathable material. They are so comfortable and lightweight. The shoelaces are nice and long; perfect for those who prefer a double knot before a good run. Well worth the purchase. My prior Brooks lasted 4-5 years before it was time to retire them. Great brand and great sneaker.

Brooks keeps me running!
I’ve been wearing Brooks running shoes for a long time and this latest version doesn’t disappoint! They provide the necessary support and stability I need but are super comfortable at the same time. The Brooks Glycerin has allowed me to keep running well into my 60’s.

Very comfortable . New Favs
Love these! Brooks is my go to brand and these are my all time favs. Since a recent leg injury I have to wear good shoes for stability so Wore 15 hrs on first day! Feet are not protected much if u drop something on them as the top of shoe is meshy type fabric but comfort wise they are awesome! Good support all over & cushy on the inside. Don’t know about durability yet but I’ll be putting them to the test as I wear them a lot. Receive compliments on them frequently from young and old so must be good looking shoes. Also, love love the way the shoe tongue corners are clipped off.. so it never rubs the front of my ankles!

Confortable
If you like Brookes then you won't be disappointed unless you were really looking forward to them being lilac or a darker purple as described. I knew they could have been black and they are. They definitely looked black & white & yup! They look in real life & on here to "ME" black & white!! LOL 😂 😂 You could totally go shoe shopping in my closet. I have about brand 20 new pairs of sneakers alone and all but about 3 are black and white, the others gray black and white. I recently decided to start adding color in my life and thought I was putting myself out there and well... OH WELL... these are a different black and white that I don't sorta have? 🤔 Guess Ill need another pair. I will just try a different pair. At least they werent blue. I don't like blue. Dark blue anyway. Long story short, If you wanted lilac, or a purple, they are not. They are comfortable like all Brookes and if you have a wide foot, size up one if they don't have a wide and you should be fine. Sometimes wides are too wide in shoes, and reg can be fine for wide feet. Sometimes wides are not wide enough. These are Med and a good Med. I have 1 foot that needs an extra W & at times the W is not wide enough for my 1 foot. If you need that wide of a Wide get a mens Wide, if they have them? These are nice and comfortable to workout out or spend the day shopping, walking or working. If you have ever worn Hokas, Brookes, are cut smaller. I consider Hokas to be larger by a whole size. These are great they came in a timely manner apparently from the UK? It was sooner then they had originally stated anyway. Great quality! Star is for the color. They are just not Lilac.

Very comfortable but hard to find
Unfortunately, Brooks no longer offers this shoe in its lineup. The most everyday wearable shoe. I was glad that I could find these online.

Expensive but worth it
I have plantar faciitis and have struggled with it on and off for a few years. My podiatrist had given me a list of shoes that were best for this condition and brooks was one of them. My physical therapist suggested brooks over the others but they were, in my opinion, outrageously priced so I started to wear Asics instead. While Asics is good and I could definitely feel more support with them on versus the adidas and sketchers that I had been previously wearing, I still continued to have the fasciitis heel/foot pain on & off depending on how much walking I did or how long I was on my feet. I'm also in the medical field so being on your feet all day is part of the job. I have done the stretches, ice, rest, orthotic inserts, etc but nothing helps to keep the pain away.... it is also interfering with my daily life, I have a hard time just vacuuming and cleaning my house because I can't be on my feet too long without needing to sit down. I saw these brooks had been marked down and "on sale" during Christmas so I figured, I'd just suck it up and buy them. Well, after literally one day, my feet are not hurting. I was at work, and it just hit me.. "hey, my feet aren't killing me as I'm walking back & forth" and they continue not to hurt even after I take the sneakers off! I am so glad I bought them and have since ordered 2 more pairs. I bought my regular size of 8 Medium width (I don't have a wide foot) and they fit fine. They do give/stretch a little after wearing so I think if I sized up to the recommended size of 8.5 they would have ended up being too big (amazon suggested 8.5 & some reviews say to size up). They are easier to get on than the stealthfit pairs I also own. I'm sorry I didn't purchase them sooner.. (hopefully I am not jinxing myself lol).
