[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Last version of this, 22, was awful and not sure what happened with this one too. Went from feeling great with a prior version to what seemed like a completely changed package. Maybe it was just this pair but not satisfied with Brooks on whatever changes were made for GTS 22/23. The footbed and instep is completely off kilter and size seems to have shrunk. Would love to return but missed the date on it while seeing if it would adjust. Will have to look for another style because the Glycerins for me are now a fail compared to previous versions and is just not wearable at all.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using these Brooks Glycerin GTS 23s for my treadmill runs (usually 3 times a week), and they are easily the most comfortable shoes I’ve owned. Right out of the box, they felt soft and "broken in.". The cushioning is excellent—it feels like it absorbs the impact really well, which has been great for my knees. I also appreciate the extra stability; they keep my feet feeling steady without being heavy or clunky. Plus, the white and lime green colorway looks even better in person. If you’re looking for a solid, reliable shoe for the gym or daily runs, I definitely recommend these!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I couldn’t wait to lace up my Glycerin GTS 23’s! As soon I popped open the box I put them on and went for a run. The shoes were so light but solid. They seemed to bounce as I ran. The fit was just right through most of the shoe. The toe box seemed a little big and it caused my toes to slip slightly, nothing major though. I completed a 5K and my feet felt great. The hilly terrain was no match for these shoes! Great run straight away and the experience held up over the past couple weeks. I’ve also worn them on my treadmill. They are very responsive but the thick sole didn’t feel right for indoor running. I love the look and the bright green color is perfect for race day! I’d highly recommend these to anyone training for or competing in outdoor running.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Glycerin GTS 23 is my go to running shoe it is very versatile for running not only on the road but they were also excellent for treadmill use as well. They fit perfectly on foot but I would suggest sizing up if you plan on using running socks or any thicker socks during the winter climate. Overall I was very satisfied with the Glycerin GTS 23 and found the neon green helped me standout on my night runs, which gave me a sense of protection. The sole is extremely durable and I’ve logged around 120 miles on my pair so far and they still have a bunch of miles in them. I’d highly recommend the Glycerin GTS 23 and give it a 9/10.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love these running shoes! They feel great the moment I put them on, and they continued to feel amazing even as I ran mile after mile. The bright colors really stand out and give them a fun, energetic look. They’re incredibly lightweight, which makes running feel easier and more natural. The cushioning is excellent and absorbs impact well, while the arch and heel support provide solid stability throughout my run. Overall, they’re comfortable, supportive, and stylish—exactly what I was looking for in a running shoe.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been running in Brooks shoes since I first took up running in 1995. Over the years, I’ve completed two NYC Marathons, 15 half marathons, and countless other races, and the Glycerin GTS 23 is by far my favorite running shoe to date. They are exceptionally comfortable, with excellent cushioning and outstanding lateral support. Whether I’m running on the road or on a treadmill, they consistently outperform comparable shoes from other brands. Beyond performance, the Glycerin GTS 23 also stands out for its style. The color options are modern and versatile, making them a great choice not only for running but also for everyday wear. I would highly recommend these shoes to anyone looking for a top-tier running shoe—or a comfortable, stylish sneaker for daily use.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Anyone who runs knows that the most important tool is the shoe. The slightest issue in the most minor of details can lead to major pain, which is why it's so hard to trust a pair you're not familiar with. I am pleased to say that with the Glycerin GTS 23's I was not disappointed to try something new. The fit is great in every detail, from the toebox to the heel. It hugs the foot in a way that it feels as though it's simply an extension of my body. I haven't put a full month of work into them yet, but after a few runs so far, so good. But what's truly great about these shoes is that not only do they function well, they look great! The design is excellent and somehow makes you feel even faster when you wear them. If you're looking to try a new pair, you would do well to give these a try.
Meh at best; I will be returning these. I walk 7 miles a day, 365 days a year, and have owned 10 previous pairs of Glycerins and Adrenalines. These new Glycerin models run very hot and don't have much breathability. While the Glycerin 20 and 21 had great cushion and bounce, it seems Brooks is moving away from the high-quality cushioning foam we all fell in love with. Brooks has always been my go-to because I knew the comfort was unmatched, but these newer models are no better than competitors' tech in my opinion. Additionally, Brooks is offering fewer 'Extra Wide' sizes now. Love Brooks for the Run Happy Promise!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The BEST running shoe! I have trained for several marathons and various races and always recommend this shoe to anyone running/walking. Sooo comfortable especially as I need to order in a size wide
Really looked forward to these shoes, but while breaking in, stared falling apart. After just a 1 hr session on elliptical, rubber at front is peeling. Very disappointed given price paid for shoe and it lacks quality I've previously experienced and expect from Brooks.
