wonderful

[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.

Good enough

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 The design feels a little outdated and quite chunky which I don’t really like but it is comfortable enough for quick little runs if I wanted to use them for that.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

Why You’ll Love This Shoe

[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.

Comfortable but runs small

It's a comfortable shoe, but seems to fit smaller than the 22, I'm debating whether to return it and try a bigger size.

Good, stylish road runner

[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.

Love these shoes

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)

Glycerin 23

[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.

Perfect

[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.

Good shoe overall

[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.
