Great shoe!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Our local running club did a demo day with the Glycerin 23. I loved these shoes so much I ordered them straight away! The upper is a showstopper - great color way in pink/black/white, plush, super comfortable. I have a narrow midfoot and wider forefoot and really appreciate the fit of the Glycerin 23. I feel like this shoe would work well for a lot of different foot shapes. What really sold me was the responsive cushioning. I don’t feel like I’m sinking into the shoe. It’s very stable with good ground feel. I’m running faster and more efficiently in the Glycerin 23! I like the fit, cushioning and feel quite a bit more than the Ghost and feel the extra money is definitely worth it. This shoe is what I was hoping the Cascadia 19 would feel like. The only question is what color do I buy next?

not comfortable-go back to glycerine 21
regular size was too tight on the toe-squeezing the feet. Next size up was big but still the toe is still not comfortable.
The design was supposed to improve the toe box from 22 and it did not work.
Heel is ok but that is only a part of the shoe...

Not my favorite Brooks
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.

Brooks- Not the same
[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.

Cushion with structure
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Cushioned at the heel and fore foot during weight bearing, but supportive laterally to provide structure during side so side movements

Best Glycerin Yet
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been wearing Glycerins for almost ten years now and have loved every model except the 22s, which were a total miss for me - too narrow and hurt my feet even to walk in. I was worried that these would be the same, but they are easily the most comfortable version of Glycerins yet, and the best looking in my opinion. I'd recommend going a half size up.

Extremely comfortable and durable
[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.
