Brooks glycerin gts 20 is an awesome trainer

Anonymous runner · Jun 6, 2026

5/5

Overall

I’ve been using these for the past couple of years and am extremely pleased with them, the comfort is very high end for a fairly light, mid price running shoe. 100% recommend.

Okay but could improve

Bought this when recovering from injury. Appreciated the cushion and higher drop. However, why not fix the tongue. A daily trainer, not for speed work.

I really like these shoes. Super supportive and great for Long Runs when your form can break down towards the end. Helped me fix my calf issues I was getting from my higher volume I was doing in Brooks ghost

Better for my feet

Overall

These shoes are great. My feet and the rest  my body feel beget  these shoes. I just have to adjust the tongue now and then. They tend curl on me at times.
