After 4 attempts, this might be the one

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've bought and returned four pairs of sneakers in the last 6 months, none of the models felt right. Finally I tried the Glycerin 23 in a wide, and it seems to work. The mediums were too narrow for me and the wides are a bit too wide, but I'll stick with the wide.

Why oh why did we mess with the midsole drop

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been a loyal fan of Brooks for years, trying a variety of models but have always returned to the Glycerin. There are many factors to love about the 23s including the lovely landings, the secure fit, and the mesh upper. BUT I’m not loving that the midsole drop went from 10mm to 8mm, it has been 10 for so long and it was lovely. Now with the 8mm in the 23, I can immediately feel the loading more in my calves and Achilles, which I don’t like and it will cause me to sadly return the shoes. The fluffy features like refining the mesh upper, fine tuning the cushioning are all nice little upgrades, but messing with midsole drop matters and it noticeable to gait and the body. After all this time, why?

Cute, comfortable, supportive

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

Love love LOVE these shoes. I switched from Hoka Clifton 10s. Don’t get me wrong, they are great shoes, but as a nurse, I started noticing at the end of the night my arches would spasm/cramp really bad in bed before sleep. Since switching to Glycerin 23 I’ve had no more arch pain ! They are super supportive, light and airy. Also really cute, I get tons of compliments. Definitely my favorite pair of shoes at the moment

Love them! As a Fitness Professional I have been truly struggling with purchasing sneakers over the last few years. I teach classes, personal train & provide Fascial Stretch Therapy - meaning I am at my studio for hours on my feet. I sneaker that will hold up under the constant demand of owning a Fitness Studio. I've just ordered two more pairs of Brooks and am thrilled with the support , wear & comfort. Thank you Brooks - I have been sharing my love of your brand with all our clients!

Disappointing sizing changes.

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

I don't understand what happened with the sizing in the 23. I've been wearing Glycerin since the 20, and I always wear a 9.5. With the 23, my toe is pressing on the shoe in the 9.5 and swimming in the shoe in the 10. The now leaves me with having to find a different model of running shoe.

Thank you for cute style and colors this year!

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

I love these shoes. I work on my feet in healthcare every day and these provide amazing support and Brooks have updated their styles to great and cute patterns this year!! I was so excited! I prefer the GTS Glycerin to run in, but the styles and colors did not interest me and these work for every day wear.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The glycerin 23 is sooo good! And the cream animal print is so pretty. I think there is a great balance between cushion and support in these shoes. Will probably be purchasing more colors! For the last year I’ve been sizing up half a size in my Brooks shoes. Normally I wear an 8 but have been opting for 8.5 since fall of 2025 when I got the Disney ghost max minnie shoes in 8.5 and the orange colored glycerin 22 I believe. I tried the glycerin 22 size 8 in store and my big toe felt like it was really hitting the front. So I started sizing up to 8.5 in Brooks since then. With the glycerin 23 I think it was also smart to order half a size up. I think my regular size 8 I would’ve had the same issue.

Brooks Glycerin 23 are fantastic!

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was my first Brooks purchase. Friend recommended for ultra absorption. I had been experiencing hip pain working on hard concrete floors for 8 hour shifts. I love the fit and comfort. Additionally, I need wide width and Brooks offered it in the Glycerin style. I can absolutely recommend these! My hip pain has lessened and my feet feel good at the end of the day.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm loving my new Glycerin 23's! As an avid Ghost wearer of over 20 years, I decided to try something with a little more cushion. I will say it took a week to adjust, but now I love feeling like I'm walking on clouds! And you cannot beat these super cute colors!

Glycerin 23

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I can only wear Glycerin. These 23 are and upgrade with the back loop to help get your shoes on amd off. This color pattern is really awesome! I enjoy having these for a decent pair for casual things but these light colors definitely do not hold up to actual wear for athletes. Brooks please keep in mind the grays, purples, blues, greens, hold up better than the cream, white, light pinks etc.
