Glycerin 23

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

The shoes fit nicely and provide good stability for my entire foot. They are stable and I particularly like the guide rails for walking. I am a walker and do not run at all. I am I guess an avid walker as I walk every day, rain or shine. Last week I put over 108 miles on these shoes and was disappointed in the amount of wear showing on the soles. They do not appear to be breaking down internally but I am concerned how they will hold up for the rest of the month. I am partial to Brooks shoes but often times am unable to find the shoes I want in 9 4E. I like to have two pairs so I can swap them out daily. I was unable to do that this go around. Hopefully the sole wear will level out.

New version of Glycerine is too tight in forefoot.

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

I have run the the Glycerine for many years and love the shoe. However the newest version is a bit too narrow in the toe box and is causing some minor pain. I would like to see a wider toe box in the future.

Great shoes, not for me

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First and foremost, the shoes are very stylish, but for some reason, not as comfortable as the ghost in my opinion, I’ve tried the Glycerin on a few occasions many years ago I was able to wear them now I just don’t find them as comfortable as the ghost model

Awesome shoes

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Awesome shoes. Somehow every year gets better. I even have people stop and ask me what brand they are because they look so comfortable. I would give them 10 stars if I could. I own 2 pairs currently because I find myself putting them on not just for running. Thank you Brooks.

Comfort That Makes You Want to Move More

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the Brooks Glycerin 23 for both running and everyday walking, and the difference compared to my previous running shoes was immediate. The comfort stands out right away. After switching from my old pair, it honestly felt like I’d gone from heavy, stiff shoes to something that actually supports and cushions every step. Long walks and runs are noticeably easier on my legs. I’m currently working on improving my running form—midfoot strike, better posture, smoother stride—and these shoes have been very forgiving during that process. Even when my form isn’t perfect, they absorb impact well and reduce stress on my knees and lower quads. I’m not a high-level runner, just an old veteran putting in consistent miles and staying active throughout the day (often 10k–14k+ steps). These have held up extremely well for both running and all-day wear. The biggest benefit is that they make you want to move more. When a shoe is this comfortable, it removes a lot of the resistance to getting out and putting in the work. Only downside: they’ve raised the bar so much that my other shoes don’t feel nearly as good anymore. Overall, definitely worth it.

Good/not sure

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

I love the look and from past history know they will hold up. I think they may be a little to soft for stability on my bad knees.

As usual good blend cushion and support. Like the heel loop for entry assist.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is for the 4E size, I think these shoes are overall pretty solid (Though I'd recommend ordering a half size up if possible for some extra toe room just in case if you're not able to try them out at a store). They feel quite good and fit my custom insole pretty well, and those are the biggest things I looked for especially with my flat feet. Overall, these are a pretty good 4E shoe, definitely felt quite premium when I walk and run in them. Price is quite hefty tho. I do hope that future 4E Glycerin shoes have more color choices. The price and color choices are why I give it a 4/5 instead of a 5/5.
