Best Shoe in the Brooks line

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.

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.
