The Brooks Glycerin 20 is less expensive than it used to be and is absolutely worth the $100. Lasts 500+ miles, perfect for easy and long runs

This was my 4th pair of glycerins and the only ones I didn’t love. Not the same level of cushioning as the others. The placing system and laces puts too much pressure on the top of the foot. Would not recommend.

Comfortable and durable. I have had 3 pairs of these shoes that I used for half-marathon and base training over the past year, and had no issues with injuries.

Great running shoe- not springy and probably not huge on energy return- or the lightest shoe -but comfortable km after km and good for whatever your training program throws at you from fast intervals to easy long runs. Fits true to size and very durable.

Switched to glycerin due to foot issues and needing a wider shoe. Worked like a champ and great cushioning. Now Brooks needs to offer some wider widths in a racer.
