[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.] 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.
Glycerin used to be the best sneaker for my feet. I bought Glycerin for about 10 years and I bought two three pairs a year because I wore them everyday. Brooks has messed up this shoe so badly that I have stopped buying it. They have changed everything about this shoe so that it is is the worst shoe for my feet now.
WHAT DID YOU DO?! The 22’s were absolutely wonderful. I took this new pair of 23’s out of the box and put them on, and they’re as stiff as a board! They feel like they have zero cushioning compared to the 22’s. I’m super disappointed in whoever approved this lack of cushioning. The new Adrenalines have more cushioning than these. Looks like I’ll either have to stock up on the 22’s or go back to Adrenalines for a year. Please fix this for the 24’s.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] From the initial try on of the shoe I enjoyed how they felt. Given the weather with where I am located I have used them for running on the treadmill only and the fit is really nice. The sneaker itself feels incredibly light which I appreciate however as someone with knee troubles I would have appreciated a little bit more support. I will say that I really enjoyed the sneakers for walking and cross training. They provided a good amount of comfort and support and I was pleasantly surprised with how well they hold up even with extended wear. At the end of the day I could take the sneakers off and my feet would still feel good! Overall I was really pleasantly surprised with how much I liked the sneakers from first fit. Although these will likely not be my full time running sneaker I will 100% be using them for walking, cross training and everyday wear.
