Hi Jennifer. Our only slip-resistant models are the Addiction Walker 2, Addiction Walker V-Strap 2, and Addiction Walker Suede, each of which has an outsole that has been certified (SATRA TM144:2011) for slip resistance. Please note this slip resistance certification is not OSHA-certified.

Can the glycerine 20 sneakers go in washing machine?

Hi Johanna. We recommend avoiding washing machines and (especially) dryers, but you can hand wash your shoes. Here are some tips as well as a link to an article that goes in greater depth: 1. Brush the bottom of your shoes to remove as much mud and dirt as possible. 2. Remove the shoelaces. 3. Gently use a damp cloth or brush to clean the uppers. 4. Rinse with warm water. 5. Remove the insoles and clean and dry them separately. 6. Stuff your shoes with newspaper. This helps them maintain shape and decreases drying time. For more information, please take a look at this article: https://www.brooksrunning.com/en_us/blog/gear-maintenance/how-to-clean-running-shoes.html

what is the difference in glycerin gts 20 and glycerin 20 ?

Why do my shoes make noises when I walk?

Thank you for reaching out to Brooks Running. We can understand how squeaky shoes could distract from a great run! In most cases, the cause of squeaky shoes is due to air and/or moisture trapped under the insoles (or orthotics) within your shoes. First, we recommend removing the insoles and taking a few steps. If there is no squeak, it is most likely due to contact between the insole and the shoe itself. The good news is we have a simple solution for this! We recommend removing the insoles after each wear to allow both the insoles and the shoes to dry from any sweat or water build-up. If you still experience squeaking, then adding a bit of talcum powder under the insoles can be a great solution. If these solutions do not work, please follow up with us so we can ensure you can run happy!

What is the difference between Al of the glycerins?

Hi Erin! There are four versions of the Glycerin 20, as there is a choice between Classic and StealthFit and a choice between Neutral or GTS. The Classic and StealthFit versions will refer to how the upper material fits. The StealthFit will have more of a socklike feel with less adjustability in the lacing, while the Classic is more of that traditional athletic shoe fit. Neutral and GTS refer to the support in the shoe. The GTS version has our GuideRail support system, which is intended to help support runners who overpronate (feet/ankles roll inward). We recommend the neutral model if you do not overpronate.

When will you offer a new color in ? My foot tends to run narrow although I rarely need to buy a narrow. These were too wide in regular, so I bought them in narrow. They fit great and love them. I would like another pair, in a different color.

Hi Mary! At this time we do not anticipate any additional color releases in a women's narrow (2A) in the Glycerin 20. The Glycerin StealthFit 20 may be a great option, as the upper is designed to fit a little snugger and socklike. If you’d like to be notified the minute a new limited-edition style or color drops you can sign up by submitting your email at the bottom of our website: www.brooksrunning.com.

Are there any that are non slip?

Hi Kelli! Our only slip-resistant models are the Addiction Walker 2, Addiction Walker V-Strap 2, and Addiction Walker Suede, each of which has an outsole that has been certified (SATRA TM144:2011) for slip resistance. Please note this slip resistance certification is not OSHA-certified.

How well would you say the do in rain?Do they keep your feet dry?

I have a very narrow foot, and I’ve noticed with most narrows lately that it’s simply a narrow upper on the same lower. Does Brooks make a shoe where the lower is actually narrower too?

Hi Judith! The footbed in all our narrow width models will be the same as the footbed in our medium width models, however the upper material will be closer to the foot in the narrow width.

what is the difference between glycerin 20 gts 20 ?

Hi Danny! Neutral and GTS refer to the support in the shoe. The GTS version of the Glycerin 20 has our GuideRail support system, which is intended to help support runners who overpronate (feet/ankles roll inward). We recommend the neutral model, the Glycerin 20, if you do not overpronate.

Hi Gail!

This will gray out any color options that are not available in your size.

Hi Jenny! All of our styles are built on runner insights and your feedback is so important to us. Unfortunately, our ability to produce all of the colors in all of the widths is currently limited. We take our runner feedback seriously and hopefully in the near future we will be able to provide all our colors in multiple widths!

What’s the best shoe for plantar fasciitis and bunions?

Hi Virginia! Plantar fasciitis can be tricky to solve with a single shoe as it can be quite different from person to person. It is also good to keep in mind that we're not doctors and any serious pain or injuries should be discussed with medical professionals. We recommend visiting a local running shop and having your gait and feet analyzed by a Fit Expert. They'll be able to recommend options accordingly. To find a shop near you, check out our Store Locator tool. https://www.brooksrunning.com/en_us/store-locator

If I’m a size 9 medium in Glycerin 20 what would I be in Men’s size for the Glycerin 20?

Hi Magda! The conversion in sizing for length is 1.5 sizes. We recommend going by the description of the width (i.e. narrow, medium, wide, extra-wide) as opposed to the letter designation (i.e. 2A, B, D, 2E, 4E) when converting between men's and women's sizing. A men's medium (D) width should fit the same as a women's medium (B) width. A women's size 9 medium (B) would be equivalent to a men's 7.5 medium (D).

are these water proof?

Hi Magali! The Glycerin 20 is not a waterproof shoe. We have two waterproof models, which feature GORE-TEX technology - the Ghost 14 GTX and the Cascadia 16 GTX.

Should I purchase these with the support or neutral feature? I have mid gluteus tendinitis and history left piriformis/hip pain. I slightly underpronate.

Hi Lauren! We always recommend checking with your doctor or podiatrist for more specific recommendations. However, if you underpronate, or supinate, we recommend sticking with a neutral shoe, like the Glycerin 20.

Hi Elizabeth! The Glycerin 20 features a removable insole.

How do you wash them?

What brooks shoe will fit and feel the closet to the glycerin 18? I’m on my 3rd pair and can’t find them anymore. The 19s toe box was too small, the 20s were too narrow at the sides. Thanks for any help!

Hi Megan! The Ghost 14 is a great option for a similar fit/feel to the Glycerin 18 if you are not loving the updated models of the Glycerin 19/20. The Ghost has a roomier toebox and the same DNA LOFT foam in the midsole, plus it's also available in a wide!

What is the difference between the glycerin 20 and the glycerin 20 stealthfit?

Hi Carol! We have our selective colors 059 and 499 available in a Wide width.

Hi Jackie! If you wear the Adrenaline GTS line, we recommend the Glycerin GTS 20 or the Glycerin StealthFit GTS 20 over the Glycerin 20 as the Glycerin GTS 20 and the Glycerin StealthFit GTS 20 have the same support but a higher cushion level than the Adrenaline GTS line.

Is the toe box the same as the Glycerinn 19 or has it been narrowed?

Hi Donna! The Glycerin 20 has a slightly wider toebox than the Glycerin 19.
