Best Shoe in the Brooks line

Courtney · Jul 5, 2023

5/5

Overall

The only shoe I’ve never had foot issues in.   A true gem in the Brooks line, and I’m disappointed the brand changed the shoe so much in the Glycerin 20.

Fine

Elliott M · May 31, 2023

4/5

Overall

Got them expecting them to have more cushion than the Adrenaline 21 GTS, but there’s not a noticeable difference. They’re fine, nothing fancy, not super-cushy. Not responsive, but you don’t expect them to be.
