Comfortable Walking Ahies

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like that it gives great heel support. The soles feel soft & spongy. Feels like walking in air. I use my Glylcerine 23 shoes mostly for walking .

Comfy

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Super comfortable. I have super low arch (almost flat) and these and the glycerin 20s are my absolute favorite. Work 12hr shifts on my feet, these are perfect and cute too!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Amazing shoe! I already owned two pairs, but added this to my collection because of the fun colors.

CarolynR

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are running shoes but for me they are walking shoes. I am a healthy 79 year old but I do not run. However I do really like these shoes, they are comfortable, they support my feet, ankles, knees and hips - helps keep me all lined up and pain free. And they are really cute and stylish with the animal print.

Major Qc Issues With This Model

I have tried two pairs of these. Both were unwearable. On the first pair, the right shoe was markedly shorter than the left, and the uppers were dirty. I tried a different colorway for the second pair and the left shoe's midsole had a weird stiff lump. There are serious quality control issues happening here. It's disappointing

Love These!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love these for my hot girl walks and workout classes!!

Support Without The Weight

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great fit. Sturdy without being too heavy. I’m really enjoying these!!

Like Running On A Cloud

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My favorite runners yet. They’re so bouncy and comfortably light.

Hate The New 8mm Drop

I've been a Glycerin person for years upon years and the change to the 8mm drop has completely ruined the shoe for me. I used to love the combination of the cushion and the 10mm drop and it worked extremely well. Now these shoes just do not work for me as someone with tight calves that has a tendency to get plantar issues with lower drops despite lots of PT and strength. I'm now off to find a new shoe.

Cushion And Support = Low-impact Running

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are my new go-to running shoes! I’ve tried several Brooks models, including multiple versions in the Glycerin line, and these are by far my favorite. I have narrow feet and high arches, so cushioning and support are essential. I run 3–8 miles a day and often experience pain in my feet, calves, or knees. The moment I put these shoes on, I noticed improved stability in my right knee and significantly better arch support. They provide a smooth, comfortable ride, even on pavement. Highly recommend!

I have worn them a few times And they are very comfortable in the beginning, but the longer I wore them the outside of my right foot would start hurting, I had surgery on my foot in 2024, and I have realized that I seen to only be able to wear all leather shoes without my foot hurting. I have an older pair of brooks leather shoes, I can wear all day without my foot hurting. But I don’t know if I can return these shoes now. Do you have all leather shoes size 8 D maybe I could exchange them?

Definitely Changed - Not Good!

I have just printed a return label for Glycerin 23 and Glycerin GTS 23. I have been wearing Glycerin's since 2017 and always found them to be very comfortable and supportive. The 23's have definitely changed. I have found that the width is much narrower. The toe box is definitely narrow and my toes rub against front of shoe. There is a hard ridge at front of toe box that my toes rub against. Also my toes seem to be rubbing the top of the shoe. My foot is relatively narrow but I feel like my feet are stuffed in. Very sad!

Love The 23's

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Glycerin 23's is the most comfortable shoes I have ever wore. I tried the 22s but they hurt my feet. I have mid to high arches, plantar fasciitis and calf cramps. These are the only shoes that I have tried that doesn't make my calf cramp or my feet hurt and I have tried several popular shoes and none of them worked until now. I love them so much I bought 2 pair in different colors. My husband also bought a pair and loves them as much as I do. We both bought our normal shoe size. We frequently go to theme parks and wear these all day with no problems!

not the comfort I thought I was buying. I should have stayed with Glycerin Max

Comfy

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Good comfortable and stable shoe. I am on my feet all day and need a reliable shoe to keep me comfortable. These are it.
