This summer has begun with an explosion of discounts from some of the biggest brands in running, including Hoka, Nike, and even Adidas, but it's Brooks that's had the most impressive deals during its massive summer sale. The running titan's markdown even features up to 40% off its bestselling styles, including the Ghost 15, the Hyperion Max, and the fan-favorite Glycerin, which is still in stock for a whopping $60 off.
Brooks' Glycerin 20 running shoes are now on sale for just $100—a 38% discount on the normal $160 price. The Glycerin is one of the brand's top-selling styles, and this model has nearly 700 five-star ratings to show for it from shoppers who swear they're the "best running and walking shoes ever." They're available in sizes 7 to 15 and in a handful of fun colors, but some have started to sell out, so grab a pair soon.
The Glycerin 20 is a very well-cushioned road running shoe with a 10mm heel-to-toe drop and great support for neutral foot types. It provides a hyper-smooth and responsive ride thanks to its lightweight nitrogen-infused foam midsole. This iteration also makes transitions easier because the midsole's sole is a bit wider than its predecessors and the full-rubber outsole offers ample traction to push off the ground at all angles. It's also a great pick for summer with its mesh upper that's breathable enough to keep even the warmest feet cool and dry.
Fans of the Glycerin know exactly what to expect whenever they step into a new model, but the shoe rarely fails to wow newcomers with its support. "Amazing support and cushion," one shopper said. "I've enjoyed these shoes over the last few months. I train at Orangetheory and I like how well they do when I transition from treadmill to rower to weight floor. The added support is great when lifting. Also, the responsiveness when I'm running on the treadmill is amazing—I hardly feel any impact."
Even more hardcore runners swear by the Glycerin and its durability over hundreds of miles. "Perfect shoe for everything," as one runner put it. "Put 600-plus miles on these shoes, the last 100 or so being a 100-mile Ultra where I subbed 24 hours. This was a 12,000-foot elevation gain on all terrain—single-track rough hiking trail, gravel road, Jeep trail, and pavement. These shoes ate that up and I didn’t think about changing shoes the whole time."
If you're looking for a do-it-all running shoe or walking sneaker to make summer a lot more comfortable, the Brooks Glycerin deserves to be on your shortlist, especially while it's $60 off. If you think it's the ideal option for you, make sure to grab a pair quickly, because sizes seem to be selling out rapidly.
