[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall a pretty decent shoe. Feels a little heavy and inflexible overall but I’m hoping it changes as I break them in. The design feels a little outdated and quite chunky which I don’t really like but it is comfortable enough for quick little runs if I wanted to use them for that. I think this is a good option for someone just looking for walking shoes or shoes that might last a good amount of time but I wouldn’t really incorporate them into my training. In summary, good shoes but stiff and heavy.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great fit and support.Brook's addressed fit issues had with glycerin 22 went through serveral returns with 2E and 4 E . Atlast found Glycerin 23 is a great product for people with foot issues.best product since glycerin 20.Quality of sole and other materials went up compared to other brands.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These shoes are excellent! They are very comfortable. It's like running or walking on clouds!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Excellent cushion and support. Will be purchasing another pair
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This shoe from Brooks is both good looking and suitable for roads and light trails. It has eye-catching colors and I like bright shoes as they help visibility when things get dark quicker during fall and winter. I wear it for road running and everyday use around town and with friends. This shoe is really comfortable on the heel and feels soft to run on even when jogging on concrete.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This shoes gave me confidence since the moment I put them on; they felt very supportive without being stiff, providing soft cushioning that protects but stays very responsive, their balanced ride feels very smooth across paces , I even liked them for longer distances feeling very secure and comfortable they also provide a very reliable grip over all.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I can’t say enough good things about these shoes. They may be the perfect daily trainers. The uppers are really comfortable. The amount of cushioning is really nice and forgiving, yet they don’t feel clunky or heavy. The tread works great, even on wet roads. I don’t have a single thing I’d change about them. They’re that good.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Nice soft upper. Midsole is soft, not plush, just the right amount of cushioning. Outsole has good grip. The one negative is the tongue moves too much. For a shoe at a premium price it should be gusseted. Brooks, step up and fox this. The 8mm drop is definitely better.
Very happy with my new Glycerin 23s. I have run in Ghosts for many many many years (since low single digits!), but at 71 I have determined I may need a neutral shoe with more padding, and the Glycerin 23 has delivered perfectly. I run about 41 miles a week, with a 12 mile weekend run, and I have found the heel pain I was beginning to suffer has diminished considerably. I think both the extra cushioning and the slightly lower heel-toe drop (8 from 10) has helped. But the performance of the Glycerin is very comparable to the Ghost (we'll see how my time is in my next half marathon next month!), and I would highly recommend the shoe for anyone looking for a bit more cushioning but still great performance.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are comfortable right out of the box! Wore them for 6 hours after delivered and can say extra wide is much better than what Saucony or NB offers. Legs and feet were not sore nor tired as cushioning is superb. Very happy with these and roomy toebox.
