[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This shoe is so different from any other I’ve ever tried! This is my first pair of Brooks and the difference is incredible. When you’re running, not only is it incredibly comfortable and the width just right, unlike other narrower shoes, but it’s bouncy and propels you forward. The shoe is to running like an electric bike! It made running so much more enjoyable for me. The difference a quality pair of running shoes makes is wild. I was able to run longer because my feet weren’t hurting, I stayed comfortable, and I felt faster and more efficient in my run. These are also incredible just to run errands in. Absolutely the most comfortable shoe I own.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These shoes have a soft cushioning, which I noticed as soon as my foot settled in, however, they are also structured enough to give me the stability while running on trails and uneven grounds. The shoe rolls forward smoothly and the stride stays balanced. It feels secure underfoot at both relaxed and quicker paces without any pressure points, which I highly appreciate. The look feels intentional and functional, but still stylish, which matches how it performs. I can see myself wearing these in casual settings when I seek comfort as well, such as the airport or grocery shopping. Overall, this is a very high quality shoe, perfect for different purposes from the gym, to running outdoors, to casual city strolls.
The shoes look great, nice cushioning. The GTS system isn't as supportive as with my Adrenaline GTS. I'm forced to roll out a lot.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love these shoes for running! When I put on the Glycerin GTS 23, I immediately feel comfort and a bounce to my step. My ankles feel secure when I run because of the extra cushion inside the shoe that supports the lower part of your ankle. After running, my feet still feel good. I love the pink and black color, and the size of the heel and sole of the shoe are great for walking and running. These running shoes feel light weight and one of the first things I noticed was the amount of grip on the bottom for traction. I really like the grip for running on different types of terrain. For reference, I am wearing my normal size and would say these running shoes fit true to size. I would highly recommend the Glycerin GTS 23 shoes!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These shoes are great for running, and even regular everyday wear. I've been using them to run on tracks, treadmills, and roads, and they've worked great for all of these terrains. They provide great ankle support and keep my feet feeling comfortable the entire run. It gives a light and bouncy kind of feel while running that helps make running long distances feel easier. I've even worn them for everyday wear a few times and love how they look with casual wear. Aesthetically they are just pleasing, as well. They look really nice, athletic, and sleek.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I didn't realize how bad my old shoes were getting until I put these on. These are so good. I did not have to change sizes from the previous model. The soles are balanced, cushioned and stable. They feel a touch firmer than the previous Glycerin GTS 22, but also feel really good under my feet. I really like that there's more cushioning in the forefoot--Brooks has needed this for a long time in my opinion. The upper part of the shoe is comfortable. The toe box feels more roomy in this version and I love it. My only initial complaint (before I wore these) was that there wasn't a lace loop on the tongue but it doesn't seem to be an issue for these shoes. There was also no rubbing or hot spots with these shoes. I'm not a runner and wear these for every day use. I wore for the first time yesterday on my big errand day (grocery shopping, etc, on my feet all day kind of day) with ankle socks and did not notice any rubbing or my feet hurting or feeling tired at all. And my back, hips and knees felt great at the end of the day. I hope Brooks provides some of the other colors for the GTS version of this shoe that they offer for the neutral version. I will definitely be back for more.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love these shoes!!! They are my favorite running shoes ever. Perfect amount of coushin but not too much. I want to get more colors!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are my first pair of Brook’s. True to size and they have the perfect width. It’s hard for me to find the perfect sneaker sometimes. The right shoe could be perfect while my foot feels tight on one side on the left shoe. No issues with these at all. It’s Winter here so I haven’t been for runs outside. I’ve been wearing these on my treadmill at least 5x a week the last few weeks and they’re so comfortable.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Glycerin GTS 23 shoes have been an incredible addition to my everyday runs. They felt great right out of the box, and even after multiple wears, they continue to deliver the same comfort and support. I’m excited to keep using them for my daily 3–5 mile runs. They fit true to size and required no break-in period, no blisters or discomfort at all. The shoes are lightweight and easy to run in, with a subtle rocking motion that makes each stride feel smooth and natural. They provide excellent support without adding any bulk, which I really appreciate. Beyond performance, they’re stylish enough to wear even after my runs while running errands around town. They look and feel high-end and well-made, blending athletic performance with everyday versatility. These are truly the kind of running shoes that transition seamlessly from workouts to daily life. As someone newer to outdoor running, these shoes have made the transition feel effortless. I’ll continue wearing them daily at the gym, on trails, and on sidewalks. They keep my feet comfortable and happy, allowing me to focus on improving my stride and enjoying my runs.
So comfortable and meets my needs brilliantly. Love the style and look
