Glycerin 23 Running Trainers

Decent shoe overall, but have had to go up 1.5 sizes from a couple of years ago. Why does the shoe keep shrinking. My feet are not growing at my age!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After most recently wearing and loving Ghost Max 3’s, I decided to try the Glycerin 23’s. The toe box is definitely narrower in comparison, and the padded inner heel-hugging cushion initially made the length of my usual sizing feel too short. I also wear orthotics for arch support and have 3 different ones to use depending upon shoe styles and need. I had to switch to my thinner orthotic in these shoes because the ones I usually wear walking or running were uncomfortable because the heel-hugging cushion seemed to position my foot forward a little which made the arch support in the orthotic feel like it was in the wrong place. After long walks in the thinner orthotics they feel just fine and I appreciate the cushioning the shoes provide. I think wearers with narrower feet and heels would love these shoes because they provide great heel stabilization, but you might have to go a half-size up in length. Since I love the wider toe box of the Ghost Max 3’s and can use my preferred orthotics, I am looking forward to next trying the Ghost Max 4’s.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you loved the spacious fit of the Glycerin 21 and 22, I’d definitely skip the 23. This version is way too tight and restrictive in the toe box. After just a few short runs, my toes were hurting so bad that I avoided wearing them completely. On top of that, the ride is terrible. There is absolutely no bounce or springiness, it literally feels like running on a brick. I ended up giving away my practically brand new pair because they were unusable. Very disappointed.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love them they are so comfortable I don’t think I could ever wear anything else

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Brooks Glycerin 23 is, without a doubt, the best pair of road running shoes I've ever worn. From the very first run, they felt incredibly comfortable with plush cushioning that absorbs impact without feeling overly soft. Every stride feels smooth, stable, and effortless. Whether I'm running a few miles or tackling longer distances, my feet stay comfortable and fatigue is noticeably reduced. The fit is secure, the upper is breathable, and the heel-to-toe transition feels natural. These shoes give me the confidence to focus on my run instead of thinking about sore feet or tired legs. If you're looking for a premium road running shoe that delivers exceptional comfort, cushioning, and reliability, I highly recommend the Brooks Glycerin 23. They've completely exceeded my expectations and have become my favorite running shoes ever. I'll definitely be buying another pair.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] ALMOST five stars, I miss the Glycerin 22! I’m a long-time Brooks loyalist, always used to buy the Ghost and really fell in love with the Glycerin 20 several years ago. Now I alternate my runs between Ghost and Glycerin. This shoe provides good support and feels so comfy on long runs. I can only give 4 stars to this edition because I hate the new “lip” of fabric around the ankle. I much prefer the higher ankle on the Glycerin 20-22 that provided more ankle support.

I loved my Glycerin 22’s but I’m having trouble breaking the 23’s in. I’ve gotten heel blisters and my toes feel crowded in the 23’s even with slow wear progression. I much prefer the 22’s but they have been discontinued ☹️

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Complete comfort the moment I tried these shoes on! I have bunions and flat feet and hard for me to find shoes that are comfortable from the start. These have a wide toe box, even in a medium width. I only wish they made them in a medium to dark gray.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love my new sneakers! Comfortable right out of the box. Perfect for all of my travel activities!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was a long time ASICS wearer and am now a big fan of the Brooks Glycerin. I will probably not buy another pair of ASICS.
