This new series isn’t as comfortable as the previous. It felt like it ran small and didn’t fit my foot comfortably.

Heel sinks in when you stand on it, causing ankle instability. Loud squeaking noise with walking

The Glycerin 23 feels more like a rocker shoe and less like its original iteration. The length and width of the shoes are great but I didnt feel stable in them and in addition the arch isnt in the right place

Their wide shoes are a little snug and I just need to go up half a size, wanted to do an exchange, and I’m not allowed to… That’s sad.

These were very soft and squishy, with an unusual design around the back of the ankle. I didn't love them with the squishiness and didn't think they were worth the money for daily walking.

Ghost glycerin shoes offer both cushioning and support. The cushioning is not mushy. The shoe feels stable and great for brisk walking and for the gym.

Best Glycerins in a long time. I go back to at least Glycerin 11s and thru the years have gone to different brands. Love the 23s. I sized up to a 10 as it felt, and has felt the last few editions, 1/2 size short. Great but firm cushion, supportive and light. I Run 40+ miles a week and definitely feel a difference running in these compared to my Bondi 9s which can feel heavy. Glycerin’s are just as good for an everyday shoe as well.

Really like this shoe. Very comfortable with plenty of room in length and toe box. Easy to accommodate professional orthotics. I purchased them in two different colors, wearing one each week.

My foot is very hard to find shoes that don't need some kind of added help in order to fit. Brooks are my go to shoe. I have worn Brooks for years and now apparently everyone else is as well. Good support, fit is true to size and very stylish.

These are comfortable and supportive, needed a little more time to break in than my glycerin 22s did. As as usual with Brooks, had to go up a size and get wide. I wish they had more colors for wide shoes!

Incredible Comfort – Worth Every Penny! I recently purchased the Brooks Glycerin 23 from Zappos, and I couldn’t be happier with both the shoes and the shopping experience. As always, Zappos delivered quickly and the ordering process was seamless. The Glycerin 23 is hands down one of the most comfortable running shoes I’ve ever owned. The cushioning feels soft and plush without being overly squishy, and it provides excellent support on longer runs. I noticed an immediate difference in how my feet felt — even after several miles, there was no soreness or fatigue. The fit is true to size, with a roomy toe box and a secure heel that keeps everything locked in place. The upper material is breathable and flexible, making the shoe feel lightweight despite the generous cushioning. Whether you're a daily runner, training for a race, or just looking for a super comfortable walking shoe, I highly recommend the Brooks Glycerin 23. I’ll definitely be purchasing another pair in the future!
