Honestly, Glycerin tells me nothing about the shoe. The name is essentially irrelevant.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Comfortable shoe, not as bouncy as Hoka. Fit is good and does not irritate bunion on right foot.

Brooks Glycerin 23 Review – Disappointed After Loving the 22

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

I was really looking forward to the Glycerin 23 after how much I enjoyed the 22. Last year’s model had that soft, plush ride that made long runs (and especially marathon training) feel comfortable and enjoyable. I consistently finished runs feeling fresher in the 22. The 23 feels noticeably firmer. The plush, cushioned feel I expected from the Glycerin is missing, and I don’t get that same sense of freshness during or after my runs. My feet also feel a bit more fatigued afterward compared to the previous version. On top of that, the shoe feels heavier, and the extra weight doesn’t seem worth it given the firmer ride. In fact, the overall experience reminds me more of my Ghost shoes than the soft Glycerin feel I was hoping for. It’s unfortunate because I genuinely loved the previous version. Hopefully Brooks brings back more of that plush cushioning in future models.

Good for balance.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My grandson has CMT. They are perfect for his balance. We have to get him a new pair every six weeks. His PT dr recommended them for him.

Glycerin Soles Now Too Soft

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

Initially I liked the shoe, but after wearing multiple times, I find that the sole is much too soft especially at the heel. It even seems to get softer the more it’s worn. I do not recommend if you don’t like or are not comfortable wearing shoes with soft soles. Glycerin were my favorite shoes until now; not anymore!

Drop for Ankle Savers

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I generally run in lower drop and natural foot shape. These are great in the rotation for city running days and to give a little rest to my Achilles when they’re a little beat up.

Love the Glycerins

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

Love the Glycerins, this is my 7th pair. Very comfortable and great support. And I think Brooks does a great job with their strings and string length.

Widely Ignorant

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

The Glycerin is easily the best shoe Brooks makes, but the lack of colorways in wide is absolutely insane at this point. They already run short and narrow, but they just continue to ignore a community asking to support them. I buy 2-4 pairs of shoes monthly, but I"m throwing in the towel with this latest update. I don't want black on black or grey on grey shoes, and altra, karhu, saucony, asics, hoka, etc etc seem to get that. We are tired of asking for wide colorways!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

First pair of Brooks

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

The Glycerin 23 offers stability and comfort for everyday use. Light weight and responds to the movement applied by my body. Cushioned strikes for easy transitions while running.

Amazing

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently purchased these shoes for a new job that I have, I stand on my feet for 10.5 hrs. These shoes are definitely worth EVERY penny. I am looking for a second pair to purchase so I can alternate them. Only thing that I did notice is that the shoes run a little small. I wish I would’ve went up half a size. I would definitely recommend these for anyone that is up on their feet.

Glycerin 23 is the BEST SHOE I’ve ever put on my feet!

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was trying to just find the best shoe. No bias on price or brand. Blindly tried on every “flagship” shoe at the store… Brooks Glycerin 23 was an instant buy! I didn’t even take them off! I put my old shoes in the box and walked in my new Brooks straight to the register, and then haven’t taken them off yet! These are the BEST and most comfortable shoes ever put on my feet! I can only explain it as if the “DNA Tuned” soles just react back with every step! These are the best shoes I have ever bought! Thank you Brooks! Thank you for making/inventing these shoes! Brooks Glycerin 23 will be my go to shoe now for years!

Great shoe

Originally posted on Home Tester Club

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wasn’t sure at first if these felt the same as the previous versions (21, 22) but after a few miles, they proved themselves to be the comfortable all purpose shoe that I’ve grown to love. They feel great, nice and plush but also responsive. The only thing that feels slightly different is the toe box feels a bit narrower but otherwise it remains my go to for most runs, except tempo/racing.
