Just wondering(not a pro but I've switched from glycerin to ghost daily for years) is that 2mm difference going to affect me switching back to ghosts for faster shorter runs? I've had foot injuries before....
Great review. Picked up the v20 a few days a go on sale and returned it. It lacked energy return and the foam felt dull. I don't mind a firmer shoe but the v20 didn't feel responsive. I also have the Ghost max which I find way better than the glycerin 20 but it sounds like v21 may be worth a go.
I really like the Glycerin 21, and want to try it, but the price is a massive speed bump. I just ordered the wave rider 27 but will keep an eye on any sales for these.
@@filoIII They do have similar specs but Brooks measures the midsole stack differently to other brands, not including sockliner/outsole etc. If they measured the same way both shoes are very close in the stack.
the foam itself is upgraded "DNA loft V3" in the 21 vs V2 in the 20. It is supposedly slightly softer yet more responsive. I'd reckon the upgraded foam accounts for more of the improvement than the additional 2mm of stack!
that is kind of you to say... but I now think that I was wrong, and that both the 20 and the 21 have the DNA loft V3 foam midsoles... sorry about that!@@run-are
This has been really useful in helping me make a decision. Thank you.👍🏼
great review! I was all set on getting the 20 because of the discounted prices but the 21 sounds more what I am needing and worth the extra $$$
Glad to help...Thanks for the comment!
Great review. I'm in love with my 21's. Bough a second pair in blue this week.

Thanks! Yes night and day between these two shoes in the ride.
I tried on the 21's the other night and found them to have much nicer cushion. It really feels night and day!
That's great you enjoy them so much. They are certainly an improvement on the 20s
@@run-areIndeed!

Yes the price is hefty! Hope the Wave Rider works out
I love my G20’s and my GM2’s. I’m either getting the G21 or HM2’s next.
Thanks for the comment!
I thought the Glycerin had similar specs to the Triumph regarding the amount of foam under foot, but the Triumph has significantly more.

Disappointed with how many brooks shoes crease on big toe. Don’t understand why more people don’t highlight that issue

Thanks for the info, great insight!

For a daily use/walking shoe, is the 20 as good as the 21?
Sure is
Thanks!!
I'm a nurse and I typically buy cheaper Brooks shoes for work (Revel) and save the $ for my running shoes. 😉
a great shoes I walk all day with the 20 gts, it is the only one shoe (among 40 ) , that I can walk with without pain (I have Plantar Fasciitis)
I buy 20, it is cheaper. Actually not big difference. Only fool will listen this and pay more for 21 😅😅
Sounds like you value a traditional ride! Which do you like better? The 21 or 20?
@@run-are actually i like 21 more. I bought one when discount😂😂😂
@@dennischow9924 atlleast you're honest
