Glycerin 23 Running Shoe (Women)

If you’ve enjoyed wearing these shoes in the past this model does not compare. Don’t waste your money. They feel completely different, less cushion, lower arch support and the tread is 1/2” narrower than the Glycerin 22. Extremely disappointed. Brooks ruined a very comfortable shoe.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] ’ve been a die-hard Glycerin fan for years. When they're good, they're great! That said, something has been off since the 20. I’m really happy to say the newest version feels like a return to form. Over the last few releases, there were a few things that just felt slightly off—but this version seems to have worked those out. The fit is dialed in again, hugging the foot comfortably without feeling restrictive. And the cushioning? Incredible. It’s soft without being mushy, and it really holds up over longer runs. What stood out most to me is how much later my feet start to fatigue compared to my last few pairs. That alone makes a huge difference in overall comfort and performance. It feels like Brooks listened (thank you) and refined what made the Glycerin great in the first place. I really hope they keep building on this, because this version is a big step in the right direction.
