Running shoes were one of the most popular products at Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days, with models like the Asics Gel-Kayano, Salomon XA Pro 3D Gore-Tex and Under Armour's Charged Assert taking center stage. The biggest surprise of October Prime Day is seeing one of Brooks' best-selling running shoes on sale and fully in stock because it's nearly sold out on the Brooks site; This may be your last chance to get one.
Brooks' Glycerin 20 running shoes start at just $90 on October Prime Day; Up to 44% off the regular $160 price. Glycerin is one of the brand's best-selling styles, and the style has received more than 2,800 five-star reviews from shoppers who say it offers “incredible comfort and support.” While it's no longer available at Brooks, Amazon has over 20 colors available in sizes 7 through 15, as well as some larger widths. Like all shoes available on Amazon, the final price will depend on your size and color choice, but most still sell for $90 to $100.

The Glycerin 20 is a very well cushioned road running shoe with a 10mm heel-to-toe drop and excellent support for neutral foot types. Thanks to its lightweight nitrogen-infused foam midsole, it provides an extremely soft and responsive ride. This iteration also makes transitions easier, as the base of the midsole is slightly wider than its predecessors, and the all-rubber outsole offers enough traction to push off the ground from any angle.
Glycerin fans know exactly what to expect when they step into a new model, but the shoe rarely fails to wow newcomers with its support. “I've never had a better shoe,” said one customer. “Everything from the feel and cushioning to the height of the shoes felt great…Hopefully these will last as long as or outlast my Brooks Ghost series shoes.”

Even tougher runners swear by Glycerin and its durability over hundreds of miles. “The pair I bought three years ago and have run 700 miles on have held up incredibly well. Not a single tear in sight,” said one runner. Another agrees, saying: “I run about 10 miles a week and a few 5Ks for fun each year. The cushioning of glycerin is just what I need for my knees and back. I've been wearing either the 19s or 20s for several years. It's over and I love them.”
If you're looking for a do-it-all running shoe or walking sneaker, the Brooks Glycerin deserves to be on your short list, especially during the October Prime Day sale. If you think this is an ideal option, grab a pair as soon as possible because the sale ends on October 9th and sizes are not guaranteed to stay the same.
