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.

Pretty Good.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall a good shoe. The toe box seems a more narrow than the 22s so making that switch has been a little hard on my toes. Overall, very comfortable heel strike.

Teen Loves Them

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought these for my teen son and he said he likes the lift and the comfort. Walking on fat marshmallows,

Great Shock Absorption

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My husband and I are getting back into running after some years off and I love these shoes so much. When I was in the military I was an avid New Balance user, but after gaining some weight I needed something with more shock absorption. These are wonderful. I bought myself a pair, my husband a pair, and our teenage son a pair. I’ve already put about 100 miles on them and I’m ready to add more. Great investment for the health of my tibia’s and my life.

Cushion Is A Plus!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far so good. I'm roughly 3 weeks into my Half-Marathon Training. I normally wear the Adrenaline series. This is my first time trying out the Glycerin series. I like the cushion in these, especially for distance running. My left pinky toe caused me trouble in the past. With these, I have not experienced this issue or had to use extra cushioning for my toe. I have two half-marathons this year and I'm planning for this pair to get me to the finish line each time.

Love this shoe, great support. Is cooler to wear when it is hot.

Giving Up On A Long Time Favorite

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased my Brooks from a smaller independent running store, and while they felt ok in the store, as I've worn them, I'm disappointed in the new variation of the Gylcerin. Glycerns have been my Godsend for foot pain over the years, so much so, my podiatrist "prescribed" them to me. This new iteration of the Glycerin pinches on the inside near wear your big toe meets your foot . I've tried a variety of lacing strategies to fix this, as I have high arches, and nothing has helped. I've been pain free for years because of Brooks shoes, until now. This is disappointing and as they are SO expensive now, I feel like I wasted money and can risk buying another pair to replace them. The Glycerin 21s were the best variation, but you need ot take all these negative reviews into consideration when you design the Glycerin 24s.

Glycerin 23 Poor Design

I have been wearing Brooke shoes both ghost and glycerin for about 10 years I would say the best one is the 20 glycerin although right now I have the glycerin 23 and I think it is not well designed I'm hoping they can do something better with the toe box in the next model because this one is very tight and I also have a narrow foot! Also the forefoot is very tight in the glycerin 23.

Spring Loaded!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been running in Glycerins for years and these fit right into the lineup! The new foam is incredibly cushy and springy, and they have been comfy from day one. The pastel/quince/indigo color way is super fun and eye catching, too.

Better Cudhioningvthat The 22

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am an avid walker and exerciser, these shoes have the cushioning that I need for my very high arches . I tried the 22 and it fell short for the support I like but this 23 nailed it!
