Walked over 30k
I'm going to start off by saying buy them you wont regret it. I have pretty wide feet nothing crazy but still wide and usually I get blisters in the side of my foot due to it, this shoes are soft stretchy and breathable enough that although I walked over 30k miles one a week long trip to DC in July I did not have any. My feet are also very sensitive and the thick sole made it so I was never burned or felt uncomfortable. I was worried about them being squeaky due to the rubber sole but they were very quiet. The shows were never an issue with my outside too as they're not very eye catching which I like. Overall their quality is amazing and they're extremely functional. A 9/10 for me, would be a 10/10 if they were waterproof but alas perfection is hard to achieve

Finally a roomy toe box!
I love Brooks shoes. This is my 3rd pair. My last pair was the Glycerin 18. I wear a size 10 womens running shoes (9-9.5 dress shoe) and need a wide width. My last pair I went with the mens because the womens Glycerin 18 felt snug. Well the new Glycerin 20 has plenty of room. I’m actually questioning if maybe I should get a 9.5 instead. But the toe box is roomy which is not always the case, even with wide width. And they are SO comfortable. I’m not a runner. I mostly do walking, but will occasionally get into a little run/walk routine. The reason I can’t run is an old broken hip and arthritis. But I can tell that just the little bit of running I’ve done so far, it didn’t bother my hip. I also went with the GTS even though I’m usually a neutral. I’m glad I did. I definitely feel a bit more steady. I also bought a pair of the Ghost 14 at the same time. They are okay, but no where near as comfortable as the Glycerin 20s.

MY THIRD PAIR
When I bought this pair of Brooks running shoes I already had bought two pairs this year: one was black and one was blue. Since I needed a lighter pair to go with a cream jogging suit I just bought, I chose this neutral color which could not have gone any better. They are the perfect neutral color. My first two pairs were the Glycerin GTS 20 Supportive Running Shoe while the neutral pair is the Glycerin 20 Neutral Running Shoe. I prefer the neutral since it comes up much lower on my ankle. My chiropractor said the problem with my back is because my ankles turn in so he strongly suggested the Supportive over the Neutral; however, I prefer the neutral.Regarding price: Even though some may think Brooks are pricey they are worth every penny. I bought my first pair locally at full price so I considered these a steal for 119.00. They are some of the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever worn and I am 68, currently going to Cardiac Rehab. After a massive heart attack on August 1 and a quadruple bypass Sept 5, 2023 I am lucky to be alive and now want to exercise more. CPR brought me back to life. I am fortunate to be here. I want to live an active life and need the right shoes in which to exercise. Brooks' are them.

Comfy, already "wide"
Love these shoes. I've used them for walking so far, but I'm going to add them to my running rotation. The support can be felt even though the sole is soft and cushy as a cloud. The toe box is so roomy, I thought I had purchased the 8W, but it turns out it's just a regular 8, so size accordingly. (I waffle between regular and wide depending on the shoe.)Only criticism is the color (light pink) which I thought would be more saturated. Instead it's a light ice pink or princess pink, and it gets dirty if you breathe on it. I'll definitely buy another pair, but I'll be picking a different color.Final comment: I always switch out the manufacturer laces with elastic running laces. Highly recommend doing that because the elastic flexes with your foot while keeping a snug fit. They're easy to adjust, transforms your shoes into "slip on" style without ruining them, and the laces are easy to switch to the next pair of shoes as they wear out. You can find all kinds of colors on amazon. Worth it.

Love these shoes!
I work full time as a nurse at a hospital and am always on the move. I started to notice more foot pain and back pain and my usual tennis shoes just weren't giving me the support I was looking for now. These tennis shoes fit easy (size 8), look good and I noticed the pain relief and support all night on a busy shift and my feet didn't hurt after. I'm very happy with my new shoes and will use these for a long time to come!

These shoes are the bomb!
I dislike NOTHING about these shoes! They are absolutely gorgeous, with subtle colors that look lovely together. The parts of the shoe that look almost metallic or pearlescent add so much to the shoe design, as does the sides of the sole, which is a pearlescent blue ombre.I cannot say anything about this shoe designed in other colors, but there are many colors available, maybe 20 or more. I have never before put shoes on my feet that felt comfortable from the very beginning. They don’t hurt, bind, or rub at all. It’s as if the shoes were already broken in to my feet. I love these shoes! 🥰
