Glycerin 23 Running Trainers

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are beautifully made and fit so well. No surprise coming from Brooks!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought these shoes to help prevent shin splints. So far so good. I would size up half a size next time I order.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Best shoe i ever had! Great looking shoe and mat comfortable.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the most comfortable running shoe that i have purchased so far with Brooks. Lovec them. I only wish that they had more colors to choose from. I will definitely be buying another pair.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love these shoes! Plenty of room for my toes to spread out and great cushion with each step. I am an ER nurse and even after wearing these shoes for 12 hours and walking several miles, my feet feel great!

Not my favorite. I am a nurse and have bought at least two pairs of brooks a year for about 15 years. These are my least favorite pair yet. I have gone between ghost and glycerine. Never before have I needed to break in a pair of brooks until now, I’m a month in and not liking them at all! Very disappointing. My feet and legs are sore at the end of the day in multiple places. The heel padding is awkward and there’s just something about them. I am going to try a pair of ghosts and then hoping I don’t need to find a new brand.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m a nurse and I usually buy about two pairs of brooks a year, ghost or glycerine. I do not like this shoe at all. At first I thought it was nice and bouncy but the shoe is uncomfortable in multiple areas. The heel padding is awkward and my legs are sore at the end of the day in these. My feet feel better in my old pair than these and I’ve been breaking them in for about a month. This is the first pair of brooks I’ve ever felt I needed to break in! Super disappointing. I am probably going to order some ghosts and hope they’re better and that I don’t need to switch to a new brand.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Our local running club did a demo day with the Glycerin 23. I loved these shoes so much I ordered them straight away! The upper is a showstopper - great color way in pink/black/white, plush, super comfortable. I have a narrow midfoot and wider forefoot and really appreciate the fit of the Glycerin 23. I feel like this shoe would work well for a lot of different foot shapes. What really sold me was the responsive cushioning. I don’t feel like I’m sinking into the shoe. It’s very stable with good ground feel. I’m running faster and more efficiently in the Glycerin 23! I like the fit, cushioning and feel quite a bit more than the Ghost and feel the extra money is definitely worth it. This shoe is what I was hoping the Cascadia 19 would feel like. The only question is what color do I buy next?

I am a RN and have been a loyal Brooks customer. I’ve had a couple foot surgeries and they have been a godsend. I purchased Ghosts for several years and switched to Glycerin GTS a couple of years ago. This year’s version feels like there isn’t as much cushion. Also, the shoe base looks wider and it makes my feet look huge in comparison to the last ones I bought. I wear a 9.5 and have to get wide ones due to results of surgery on my one foot. The color options in wide are always dismal. I purchased the “spellbound/ Yucca / Pink ones this time and they just look manly…I don’t see pink in them and they are “yucca” . I’m going to have to return them, but am at a loss as to what to exchange them for. I may have to look into another brand, sadly.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been wearing Glycerins for almost ten years now and have loved every model except the 22s, which were a total miss for me - too narrow and hurt my feet even to walk in. I was worried that these would be the same, but they are easily the most comfortable version of Glycerins yet, and the best looking in my opinion. I'd recommend going a half size up.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love the Glycerin 23! They are extremely comfortable and true to size. I ordered the Medium (1B) width, and the front half of the shoe is wider than expected. However, I can wear thick or thin socks, as the extra space provides comfort rather than slippage/movement. I wear these when running on the treadmill, 5ks, 1 hour gym workouts (light-medium intensity), and even to run errands, go to classes, or work in a research lab. I also tried the Ghost and Ghost GTX, and the Glycerine 23 came out on top for me. Truly, the comfort is nothing like I've ever worn before, and even with the extra cushioning, the shoes are very lightweight.

These shoes have met all the criteria, jogged in these and all I can say AMAZING!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This shoe is a perfect balance of support and cushioning. I walk several miles daily and the Glycerin 23 is up for the task to give my aging legs and feet a smooth ride.
