Solid With No Complaints

When you first look at this shoe, you immediately know it’s a running shoe—the bold colors and the hefty heel cushioning that flares out to the sides and back make that evident. Some people don’t mind a shoe that clearly looks like a performance runner, but I personally prefer something a bit more subtle. That said, the colorway is fashionable, and the false cuff detail that extends above where the collar actually ends adds a nice touch. Comfort-wise, the shoe is very good. The first thing I noticed when putting it on was how accommodating it is for wider feet. The toe box has noticeably more room than most Brooks models I’ve worn. There’s also an extra lace loop on the tongue that really helps lock the midfoot down. This creates a very secure, unified feel between your foot, the tongue, and the shoe itself. While that snug midfoot wrap will feel great to many runners, I had to loosen it slightly because it felt a bit too constricting for my preference. Still, the fit is secure while leaving plenty of space for your toes to move naturally. Build quality is exactly what you’d expect from Brooks—solid, well-made, and durable. On the run, the cushioning is immediately noticeable. There’s a lot of it, and I see this as a bit of a double-edged sword. For experienced runners who are used to highly cushioned shoes and don’t rely heavily on ground feel, this won’t be an issue. For newer runners, though, the lack of ground feedback might encourage heavier, flatter foot strikes since everything feels so muted. Personally, I prefer slightly less cushioning so I can feel the ground more and stay better connected to my stride. Overall, this is a very good shoe, especially if you’re looking for comfort, a secure midfoot, and a roomy toe box. The only reason it’s not a full five stars for me is the amount of cushioning—it’s excellent if that’s what you’re after, but it’s something you should be sure matches your running style before committing.

Favorite Road Running Shoe Right Out Of The Box!

I couldn’t wait to lace up my Glycerin GTS 23’s! As soon I popped open the box I put them on and went for a run. The shoes were so light but solid. They seemed to bounce as I ran. The fit was just right through most of the shoe. The toe box seemed a little big and it caused my toes to slip slightly, nothing major though. I completed a 5K and my feet felt great. The hilly terrain was no match for these shoes! Great run straight away and the experience held up over the past couple weeks. I’ve also worn them on my treadmill. They are very responsive but the thick sole didn’t feel right for indoor running. I love the look and the bright green color is perfect for race day! I’d highly recommend these to anyone training for or competing in outdoor running.

Style And Performance

I absolutely love these running shoes! They feel great the moment I put them on, and they continued to feel amazing even as I ran mile after mile. The bright colors really stand out and give them a fun, energetic look. They’re incredibly lightweight, which makes running feel easier and more natural. The cushioning is excellent and absorbs impact well, while the arch and heel support provide solid stability throughout my run. Overall, they’re comfortable, supportive, and stylish—exactly what I was looking for in a running shoe.

Great Looking, Great Fitting Shoes

Anyone who runs knows that the most important tool is the shoe. The slightest issue in the most minor of details can lead to major pain, which is why it's so hard to trust a pair you're not familiar with. I am pleased to say that with the Glycerin GTS 23's I was not disappointed to try something new. The fit is great in every detail, from the toebox to the heel. It hugs the foot in a way that it feels as though it's simply an extension of my body. I haven't put a full month of work into them yet, but after a few runs so far, so good. But what's truly great about these shoes is that not only do they function well, they look great! The design is excellent and somehow makes you feel even faster when you wear them. If you're looking to try a new pair, you would do well to give these a try.

Remarkable

Remarkable. I’ve never owned a toe-off focused shoe until now and I get it. Max propulsion when needed while giving you sustained armored support all around. From the outside the shoe looks like it will feel bulky and heavy. However the materials are light and breathable, contrasting with the tank-like construction generating confidence with defense against the elements your feet will encounter. Such a unique shoe full of individual special characteristics combined to create and serve a variety of scenarios that is purposeful towards tow-off optimized running.
