The Brooks Glycerin 23 in pink is pure comfort 💕 Super soft, plush cushioning with just the right bounce — and the colour is a total vibe. We’re friends already 🤝
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have worn Glycerins for many years and was excited about the new colors. I ordered the aqua/pink and they were beautiful. They were super comfortable and everything you’d expect for Glycerins. My normal size was fine despite reviews they ran small. However, something about the change quickly irritated an old stress fracture in my foot and they had to be returned. I am swapping out for Adrenalines but do hope to return to this line in the future. Even tried the Glycerin Flex and they felt AMAZING however I went with the safest bet. As a Sports Medicine provider who is always on her feet, I appreciate the support and discount to help fund my Brooks obsession.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m a nurse and I usually buy about two pairs of brooks a year, ghost or glycerine. I do not like this shoe at all. At first I thought it was nice and bouncy but the shoe is uncomfortable in multiple areas. The heel padding is awkward and my legs are sore at the end of the day in these. My feet feel better in my old pair than these and I’ve been breaking them in for about a month. This is the first pair of brooks I’ve ever felt I needed to break in! Super disappointing. I am probably going to order some ghosts and hope they’re better and that I don’t need to switch to a new brand.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love the Glycerin 23! They are extremely comfortable and true to size. I ordered the Medium (1B) width, and the front half of the shoe is wider than expected. However, I can wear thick or thin socks, as the extra space provides comfort rather than slippage/movement. I wear these when running on the treadmill, 5ks, 1 hour gym workouts (light-medium intensity), and even to run errands, go to classes, or work in a research lab. I also tried the Ghost and Ghost GTX, and the Glycerine 23 came out on top for me. Truly, the comfort is nothing like I've ever worn before, and even with the extra cushioning, the shoes are very lightweight.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a runner finding good shoes that will protect your feet is very important. First off, they run true to size! The cushion that these shoes provide help with stability and comfort. As soon as you start running you can feel the bouncy feeling when pressing down with your toes. The cushion all around the inside made it comfortable as I ran uphill. The cushion helped my feet stay in place even as i ran through rocky terrain. There’s nothing like being able to wear comfortable shoes while running without having to worry about hurting your feet. If you’re a runner, you know exactly what that means!
I love these Glycerins!!! Maybe my favorites yet:-) they are back to running on clouds!! Some of the past models haven’t been great. He toe box is perfectly proportional. I’m happy on the roads and the trails. I run 40-45 miles a week and I took them out of the box without a blister (but I always do that with Brooks)! Great shoe. Highly recommended.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been so impressed by the comfortable yet supportive ride these shoes provide. From long runs and walks to all day outings, the comfort holds up consistently. They have a light, responsive feel that makes running on the paved trails that I typically run on enjoyable. They seem to absorb impact well and I have not experienced any type of fatigue even after having them on all day. Visually, I appreciate the clean, modern design these shoes have that definitely matches how the shoe performs. They are built for comfort and daily running and Brooks has not disappointed with this shoe.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been waiting for this shoe! The last couple of Glycerin models have not felt "right". I believe you have found the perfect combination of style and comfort with the Glycerin 23. I wear a size 9 and the sizing felt spot on. The material is comfortable and fits around the foot nicely. The laces are a good length. And, I love the color! I hope you keep this model around for a while and am looking forward to getting some more once there are more color options. Now, just slap a grippy sole on it and I can use it as true trail running shoe. The shoe still works great on mostly dirt trails without large elevation gains (see picture). Thanks for the great shoe! I'll definitely be stocking up on this one :)
These are Amazing Joggers, it feels like you are walking on air. I’ve also got arthritis and past injury’s with ankles. With putting on weight it really makes you feel comfortable and takes the pressure off my ankles and joints! I rate them 11 out of 10!!!
Not my favorite. I am a nurse and have bought at least two pairs of brooks a year for about 15 years. These are my least favorite pair yet. I have gone between ghost and glycerine. Never before have I needed to break in a pair of brooks until now, I’m a month in and not liking them at all! Very disappointing. My feet and legs are sore at the end of the day in multiple places. The heel padding is awkward and there’s just something about them. I am going to try a pair of ghosts and then hoping I don’t need to find a new brand.
