Running shoes have been some of the hottest pick-ups during Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days, with models like the Asics Gel-Kayano, the Salomon XA Pro 3D Gore-Tex, and Under Armour’s Charged Assert as front-runners. The biggest surprise of October Prime Day is seeing one of Brooks’ bestselling running shoes on sale and fully in stock because it’s almost completely sold out on the Brooks site—this might be your last chance to get one.
Brooks’ Glycerin 20 running shoes start at just $90 during October Prime Day—up to 44% off the normal $160 price. The Glycerin is one of the brand’s top-selling styles, and this model has over 2,800 five-star ratings to show for it from shoppers who say they offer “amazing comfort and support.” Though they’re no longer available at Brooks, Amazon has over 20 colors in sizes 7 to 15 with some wide widths available. Like all shoes found on Amazon, the final price will depend on your size and color selection, but most are still selling for $90 to $100.

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.
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. “Never had a better shoe than this,” one shopper said. “Everything felt so good from fit and cushion to the height of the shoes…I hope these last equal or longer than my Brooks Ghost series shoes.”

Even more hardcore runners swear by the Glycerin and its durability over hundreds of miles. “The pair I bought three years ago and have 700 miles of running on are holding up incredibly well. Not a tear in sight,” a runner said. Another agreed, saying, “I run about 10 miles per week and run a few 5k’s each year for fun. The cushioning of the Glycerins is what I need for my knees and back. Been wearing either the 19s or the 20s for a couple of years now and love them.”
If you’re looking for a do-it-all running shoe or walking sneaker, the Brooks Glycerin deserves to be on your shortlist, especially while it’s on sale for October Prime Day. If you think it’s the ideal option, grab a pair ASAP, because the sale ends on Oct. 9 and sizes aren’t guaranteed to stick around.
