Customer Reviews Brooks Glycerin 23

After reading reviews, I covered my bases and ordered the Glycerin 23s in 9 (my usual 1/2 size larger than shoe size) and 9.5 because some people felt the shoe ran small and sizing up was a good choice. My usual size was indeed too small. It felt like my big toe was cramped, but it also felt like the toe box was narrower. My toes felt a little numb after walking around the house for a short time. So I put those aside and tried on the shoes that are 1/2 size larger than my usual Glycerin size. They felt roomier, of course, but the fit was off. I felt like my foot was not sitting right in the shoe. I did not feel secure. So I put those aside as well. They are both going back (Thank you, Zappos, for continuing to make shopping as low stress as possible. Never change.) I am very disappointed in Brooks. I have worn Glycerins going back to the 12s. I felt confident ordering the same size and style every year, sometimes 2 pair, because they fit perfectly and never caused any issues. Why they decided to change the sizing of this shoe is a complete mystery to me. They made the best cushioned running shoe on the market for older runners, but they don't any longer. I bought a pair of Hoka Bondi 9s that are great. I will be trying a few other brands, but I'm done with Brooks.

Really love the Glycerin 23! Every bit as good as the Glycerin 22. No noticeable difference.

Felt one size larger, but they are very comfortable and cute
