Brooks  Glycerin 23 Road-Running Shoes - Men's

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It doesn't get better than this, I'll wear them full-time by far the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. There's no impact on the heel of your foot and the other thing I noticed was compared to the older version of the 22s this has more stability side-by-side. I didn't look for that when buying a shoe however a senior I noticed immediately I felt more secure. I love working with the company. I've had many shoes. I wish they had more the models that are just in black rather than all the colors, but they are a great company to work for if you're not happy there no questions ask, just buy and believe me you'll be happy with the 23s.

[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 The design feels a little outdated and quite chunky which I don’t really like but it is comfortable enough for quick little runs if I wanted to use them for that.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.] 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.

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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Brooks Glycerin 23 isn't just a running shoe; it’s a masterclass in "plush." If you’re looking for a ride that feels like a premium mattress but moves like a high-end sports sedan, Brooks has officially hit the sweet spot with this iteration. If you are coming off a long shift on your feet or heading out for a grueling 15-miler, the Glycerin 23 acts as a shock absorber for your entire body. It’s the shoe that makes you forget you’re wearing shoes. It’s reliable, luxurious, and—honestly—just plain fun to bounce around in. The Verdict: The Glycerin 23 is the ultimate "no-compromise" trainer. It’s soft enough to save your knees but responsive enough to keep your pace from dragging.

[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.

The primary purpose for purchasing this running shoe was to alleviate the pain in my right heel. Mission accomplished. With every run, the pain is gradually going away. My feet and legs feel good after long maintenance runs, so they have plenty of impact cushion as you rack up the miles. You will definitely notice the "float/cushion" if you have been running in a feel/speed shoe. Overall, I am very happy with this purchase, thanks to its reduction of my heel pain. Question: Why can't wide sizes come in cool running colors? Would have liked something more colorful to run around in. Shoe evaluations to note. 1. A more breathable design or material would be nice to keep heat retention down. 2. Does not have a gusseted tongue. At this price, it should be a standard feature. Speaking of the tongue, it is thick, so if you need padding on top of your foot, this might be a good feature for you but I found it adds to heat retention and less breathability. 3. Shoe laces are on the short side, which makes doing a runner's knot challenging. 4. SIZE RUNS SMALL. I'm a solid 8.5 across almost all footwear, but I had to return my first purchase to go up a half size. 5. Wide width is narrow compared to other footwear. 6. The heel-to-toe drop shifted how my toes impact the surface and has caused some nail bruising. PERFORMANCE NOTES: 1. A solid everyday maintenance cruiser. 2. Float. If you need it, this one has it, but there are drawbacks to be aware of. 3. Lack of surface contact feel makes uneven ground a bit more challenging. 4. I noticed pace speeds faster than 8.2; there is a loss of foot surface control due to float/cushion, and at 6.5, things get wobbly. 5. Stride length might increase due to bounce/cushion. 6. You will see an increase in your vertical ratio and oscillation if you track those details due to float/cushion. 7. You will see an increase in step speed loss and percent due to float/cushion. 8. On longer runs, you might have more fatigue and less stamina due to running less efficiently because of notes in 6 & 7.

Was a big fan of the Ghost series, started getting more serious into running and going longer distances and these couldn’t be any better! Awesome fit, tons of cushion and so far holding up great on these long runs (15-18 mile runs) love these shoes and would definitely recommend. Run a little narrow in my opinion so recommend going Wide (I did and its a perfect fit)

[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.
