Don’t get us wrong, heels and boots are great, but when you need to maximize comfort, nothing hits like a comfy pair of running shoes. Apparently, Golden Globe-winning actress and known running shoe-wearer Jennifer Garner knows where we’re coming from, because she recently threw on a pair of Brooks Glycerin 20 running shoes at the recent premiere of her new Netflix film, Family Switch. And as an athleisure lover, I’ve never felt more seen.
It’s not the first time Garner has been spotted in Brooks shoes, but as far as we know, she’s never rocked them on a red carpet before, and we are so here for it. She paired the comfy kicks (in a limited edition holiday colorway, of course) with a bright red dress and a massive smile, probably because her toes were totally free and un-pinched. The mom of three even broke into some Rockette-style high kicks on the carpet — a little easier to do in Brooks than in heels!
So what exactly are the shoes Garner was showing off? The Glycerin is a shopper favorite shoe from Brooks, where it’s now in its 21st iteration (the Glycerin 21). The Glycerin 20 is still available, though, and is actually on sale at both Brooks and Fleet Feet for $120 ($40 off the original price of $160). The Glycerins are known for being ultra-soft, cushioned, and lightweight, a great choice for runners logging long miles on the road.
And with over 1100 reviews on Brooks’ site, shoppers are describing the Glycerin 20 as “springy” and so comfortable, they forget they’re wearing them. “Great support but still soft a cushioned enough to relive my feet of some fatigue,” wrote one shopper. “Best shoes I’ve owned.”
The only bad news is that the holiday-themed colorway that Garner’s wearing appears to be all sold out this season. (We’ll check back next year.) But if you’re in the market for comfortable running shoes that work just as well on the red carpet as they do on the roads, give the Glycerin 20 a try.
