Best shoe ever

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Glycerins are the best shoes I have ever worn. Very comfortable for runs and long days at work!

Painful glycerin 23

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been wearing Brooks Glycerin shoes for years and I get a new pair probably 2 times each year because I run long distances. These felt very different to be then previous versions. Not initially, but after running in them, I got blisters, very sore feet, and sore legs. I'll be returning them despite how cute they are.

Wonderful!

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So comfortable! Love these shoes. I did have to size up half a size which I’ve never had to do before in brooks. The toe box has enough room which is a feature I always have to look for. I had to skip wearing the glycerin 22 due to it not being roomy enough in that area. They feel so good on my feet!

Good but hard plastic at the front ?

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These shoes felt great except for at the very top of the toe box on the inside my toes kept hitting a plastic piece there which was uncomfortable on walks. I also didn’t like the material around the ankle that resembles a sock. It would frequently rub into my ankle unless I wore longer socks, otherwise the shoe felt great but I ultimately went for the ghost 17

Didn’t work for me

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have worn Glycerins for many years and was excited about the new colors. I ordered the aqua/pink and they were beautiful. They were super comfortable and everything you’d expect for Glycerins. My normal size was fine despite reviews they ran small. However, something about the change quickly irritated an old stress fracture in my foot and they had to be returned. I am swapping out for Adrenalines but do hope to return to this line in the future. Even tried the Glycerin Flex and they felt AMAZING however I went with the safest bet. As a Sports Medicine provider who is always on her feet, I appreciate the support and discount to help fund my Brooks obsession.

Great for treadmill running!

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A “good” runner I am not, but that doesn’t stop me from jumping on a treadmill 4-5 times a week and giving it my all. What allows me to run with such gusto you ask? These shoes - no joke. I’ve had multiple interactions of the Glycerin and they keep getting better. With each footfall, the return these shoes allow my stride is a must when it comes to toeing off. They absorb my heavy tread and my joints and knees are thankful for that. The stability of these Glycerines keep me comfortable whether I’m running or wearing these during my work day as well (I’m a teacher). When it comes to looks, I like these better than the 22s. All in all, solid purchase! Side note: I found these to fit true-to-size - I wear a 9.5 and these fit well at that size.

Amazing!

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very comfortable! I had to size up from a normal 9 to 9.5. Toe box room good. I liked the glycerin 21 toe box the best. Wish there were more darker color options as the light colors get dirty quick. Much better than the glycerin 22 and ghost 17 which I thought were stiff and narrow.

Great shoe, but have questions

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

I have no complaints about the comfort and fit of the shoe (this is my third time purchasing the Glycerin...also had the 21, 22 and now the 23), but I did notice that the colorful design on the outside of the shoe is not also on the other side of the shoe. In other words they do not look alike on both sides of each shoe. Why did you do this???? Also, there is no "keeper loop" anymore. Again, why????

Great pair of shoes.

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the Glycerin 22 & 23 shoes. So of course as soon as I saw these beauties I placed my preorder. I am a nurse that works 12 hour shifts and I have tried many different brands and styles of shoes. These are by far the most comfortable brand of shoes that I own. I bought this pair for working out in and they are so comfortable. I love them.

Lots of great cushion!

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love them! They are lightweight, but also provide a lot of cushion that keeps me feeling comfortable on my runs. As someone with pretty small feet, they also don’t feel too bulky, like some other running shoes can feel.

Solid Choice!

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you are a Glycerin lover then these won’t disappoint. I have a wider toe box and these are very accommodating. The color on these are the perfect creamy white with the prettiest light blue. These shoes are a great everyday road running shoe. Highly recommend.

Great feel, with a comfortable run

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

Glycerin 23

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great shoes, so very comfortable and give loads of heel support. Easy to wear all day at work on my feet and do not come home with tired legs of feet at night. Would highly recommend. I will definitely buy again but next time will go up a half size just for a little more room at the toes
