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 The design feels a little outdated and quite chunky which I don’t really like but it is comfortable enough for quick little runs if I wanted to use them for that.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

Great shoes, not for me

[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

[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.

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.

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)
