Glycerin 23 Running Trainers

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These shoes are great. They are supportive all around the foot and have the right level of cushion in the sole without being too soft. Many shoes feel like they leave gaps between the sole and my foot but these were just right and provided support across the entire foot. They are also nice and light and easy to run in. The toe is slightly snug based on my typical shoe size but not enough to order a size up. It will just need to stretch a little.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I started wearing the Glycerin 23 to train for a half marathon I have coming up in March and I couldn’t be happier with my choice. These shoes are so fun to run in! They provide such great cushion and give an energetic bounce to every stride. These shoes also work well for both my long distance runs and my speed and interval trainings. Comfort wise they are true to what I’ve come to expect of Brooks shoes- top notch. Their thoughtful design ensures I maintain stamina and allow for a quick recovery post run. I try to keep my running shoes strictly for running but I find wanting to grab these to walk the dog. My one recommendation is if you have a high instep, you have to play around with the laces to maximize your comfort- not a dealbreaker since I generally have to deal with this with most shoes. Overall- I’m incredibly pleased with these shoes and feel a major difference in my comfort and recovery!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a runner finding good shoes that will protect your feet is very important. First off, they run true to size! The cushion that these shoes provide help with stability and comfort. As soon as you start running you can feel the bouncy feeling when pressing down with your toes. The cushion all around the inside made it comfortable as I ran uphill. The cushion helped my feet stay in place even as i ran through rocky terrain. There’s nothing like being able to wear comfortable shoes while running without having to worry about hurting your feet. If you’re a runner, you know exactly what that means!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I run in New York where the weather can sometimes dictate whether it will be a road run or a treadmill run. My favorite part of the Glycerin 23 is the versatility of the shoe. Its structure absorbs the shock of the treadmill and is also flexible on the different pavements outside. The thin uppersole fabric allowed for great breathability during my runs, which is a large plus for me. Although, this may be a concern for wetter conditions. After running several miles with these shoes, I realized that I did not have as much knee discomfort as I usually do after running. The cushioning is where these shoes really shine. The cushioned ankle and tongue really helped alleviate pressure on the top of the foot while maintaining ankle stability throughout my runs. Overall, these shoes are a great choice for running both inside and outside while looking stunning doing either.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Brooks Glycerin feels comfortable and well-fitted right away, with a broken-in feel that lasts through runs. Plush yet lightweight, the shoe uses strategic padding to maximize comfort without bulk, making it easy to log miles without feeling weighed down. The ride is smooth and enjoyable, offering a balanced feel that keeps runs comfortable and controlled. It feels stable and confident at a variety of paces, and the design looks purposeful and authentic—clearly built for comfort, protection, and consistent performance.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a runner, finding a shoe that feels good from the first step to the final mile is essential, and the Glycerin 23 women’s running shoes deliver on that. Right out of the box, they were exceptionally comfortable and fit true to size, with a secure feel that keeps my feet supported without feeling tight or restrictive. Whether I’m heading out for a run or wearing them throughout the day, my feet feel great the entire time. The ride is light, bouncy, and genuinely fun, making runs feel smooth instead of heavy or clunky. I especially appreciate how stable these shoes feel at different paces - there’s no slipping or shifting, just a secure fit that lets me focus on the run itself. Visually, the design feels intentional and well thought out. I love the black-and-white base paired with a bold pop of hot pink, which adds personality without being overdone. The sole offers excellent support without feeling overly tall, giving the shoe a streamlined look while still providing plenty of cushioning. Overall, the Glycerin 23 feels thoughtfully designed, enjoyable to run in, and well suited for an active lifestyle.
